Ahoy there, Lauren,
Welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad you brought your merry question to us.
Our planDisney team was so excited to hear that Guests aboard select Australian
Disney Magic at Sea cruises were surprised by Christmas decorations in 2023. While these were not
Very Merrytime Cruises with holiday-themed entertainment and activities, there was certainly a festive atmosphere. If your cruise is not listed as a Very Merrytime Cruise there is no guarantee that Christmas decorations will be up, but one can always ask Santa and hope the jolly ol' elf comes through!
While it isn't Christmas, you will do lots of celebrating at
Tiana's Place, one of my favorite
Rotational Dining options aboard Disney Cruise Line. This New Orleans-style venue is one big celebration, including live jazz music and amazing food. Make sure to save room for Tiana's Buttermilk Beignets or Mama Odie's Chocolate Bread Pudding, or do what I do and order both!
Thanks for swinging by with your holly jolly question, Lauren. Let us know if you have other questions or would like tips for making the most of your magical time at sea!
Bon Voyage and many merry memories,
Shannon
