The first time we didn't spend Christmas with one or the other of our families, it was to take a cruise and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The ship was all decorated for the holidays and it was very festive. Since then, we have cruised several times more during Christmas on other cruise lines and found the same festive atmosphere. Usually they sing Christmas carols around a grand piano in the main lobby and/or staircase and we have noticed families opening gifts in front of one of the decorated trees. I hope you have a wonderful time and we'll have to compare notes when we return.
