Christmas may have passed for many cultures and countries, but in much of North America and Europe, the Black Friday deals continue throughout January. It might just be the best time of all to book that next vacation, or maybe even plan to be onboard for your next Christmas or New Years Eve. Have you ever had the joy of cruising over the holidays? There is something absolutely mystical and sickly sweet, throw up on your shoes and still be full of laughter, kind-of-great, about cruising in the festive season.
The ships spare no expense in the grand atriums and other areas throughout, to decorate with large trees, lights, life size gingerbread houses and even private decor in some top suites. The ambience in the air is like living scenes of every sappy part of Love Actually, and even the lonely are so enamoured by the buzz in the air, that they enjoy watching couples and families celebrate. (And without worry, as there are plenty of opportunities to meet single cruisers over the holidays as well).
The bands play festive Christmas tunes, the comedians have funny bits that you haven't heard already, the docks are decorated in the ports of call and you get to see how multiple countries celebrate differently, all in under 10 days. Often, the ships crew volunteer in the ports over the Christmas week and it's always a feel good moment to see how your vacation choice is giving back elsewhere in the world.
The ship typically pours some complimentary sparkling wine on New Years Eve. However, you will be so buzzed or high on life from the atmosphere on the pool deck as you await the count down and enjoy the party, the dancing and the overall hype with the cruise staff, that you may not even notice the trays. It is like being on TV in NY Times Square waiting for the ball to drop. There is so much excitement, perfect strangers having a blast together, and also anticipation, typically of romance that begins at the dock and floats through the air all voyage. Whether you come with a lover or find one for the blissful journey, the holiday cruises are lustful, and still family friendly.
If you're lucky enough to be on a cruise out of Boston, New York, on a New England Cruise or somewhere else with seasonal weather, you may even enjoy a light dusting of the rarely seen, snow covered decks. Cruise ships just get it right over the holidays.
