I just completed the trip report for our 7 night Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Fantasy (click here to read it from the beginning, or click here to read the final day at Castaway Cay), so now it’s time for a giveaway!
Remember this picture from day 1 of the trip report?
Did you notice that I ordered TWO of the holiday blanket/pillow gifts? That’s because the other one is for one of YOU! One lucky winner will get the blanket, pillow, and carrying bag! These were available earlier in the fall to order as onboard gifts on select sailings, but I know they sold out months ago and are no longer available this year.
To enter the giveaway, use the Rafflecopter below. Each person can enter twice – once by visiting my Facebook page (and hopefully follow it if you aren’t already!) and once by leaving a blog comment (don’t worry if your comment doesn’t show up right away – due to the massive amount of spam comments I receive, I have to approve each comment manually). FYI you can always check the “I commented” box without actually leaving a comment, which is fine too. Entries will be accepted until midnight (EST) Monday night, December 10, and the winner will be announced on Tuesday morning, December 11. Good luck!
Thank so much for posting your cruise blog for the Fantasy. We leave in about 2 weeks!
We stay home for the holidays and host the grandparents!
I’ve been beating myself up for not knowing I could order the Xmas blanket for our (non Merry-Time) cruise! Lol. Fingers crossed!! ??
Thanks for such a great blog. Getting ready for our 2nd cruise in 12 months!
We just got off the Wonder for the fist tine and it was amazing….your blog really helped me learn a lot of cruising before we left!
Love your blog! Gives so many great ideas and tips.
I’ve enjoyed your report. We were on the same cruise!
Those are so cute! Love Disney’s little extra touches.
We don’t have a Disney Cruise scheduled yet, but I would love to spend Christmas on a cruise!
Love the blanket! I tell my husband on every cruise I want one of the stateroom blankets. Since they are $300, he keeps telling me no!
In our current season we stay home. Now that our older boys are 18 and 20, I am sure we will be traveling again as they launch!
Loved the trip report.
This year, we are planning on staying home. We go back to Canada for the holidays every few years or so. thanks for the giveaway!
This is so cute! My kids would fight over it for sure lol. Can’t wait for our next DCL trip—Panama! ?
We are staying home to relax this year!
I’ve been wishing for one of these blankets but we don’t cruise until August. Thank you for posting such an amazing giveaway. Good luck everyone
My favorite giveaway you’ve ever done! Awesome! Thanks for these awesome, detailed trip reports.
Such a great contest giveaway!! Thank you!!
We are visiting Nana and Poppy’s house because this year I don’t have to work!!
Thanks so much for your blog. I eagerly await all your posts! Merry Christmas ?
Great giveaway! We have our 4th Disney cruise planned for next year- November 22 Merrytime on the Dream. We are taking my parents on their first Disney Cruise. So very excited! The countdown is at 348 days.
We are staying close to home for the holidays! We are doing this same cruise in the summer. Can’t wait!
Here’s to hoping!
Thanks for the Report. Merry Christmas!!
We usually don’t travel for the holidays, but this year we’re going to spend Christmas with family in Kentucky. Then we have our 1st Disney cruise next month!
We stay home for the holidays. We went once 2 years ago for Christmas to Disney World and it was so magical!
We just got back last week from a 7 night western Caribbean cruise – would love this giveaway!
Thank you for allowing us to experience this cruise through your blog. My children would love being a part of this cruise!
We now live on the east coast and my family is on the west coast. We wait until summer time to go back home to visit family.
We do this itinerary next November! Love the report!
We stay home, but sometimes wish we could travel for the holidays!
I look forward to your blog posts and have gotten so many ideas from them. Thank you for sharing your trips!
We stick around for the holidays but have a 4 night Cruise on the Magic coming up for Spring Break!!
Thank you for your blogs!!
Thanks for this awesome giveaway! Hoping to get on Fantasy some time next year with my three little ones (7, 5, and 2)!
Thank you for posting trip reports. They not only give me an insider view of various destinations and itineraries, but let me live vicariously through you till our next cruise!
We stay home during the holidays mostly because it’s too expensive to travel. But im think how fun it would be to get away just as our little family and not do the large family gatherings!
Oh my, oh my, oh my!!! You’re blog is GREAT!! You’re great to to offer such a prize!!!! I was so excited to see them on your blog and commented that it was so nice you said you got an extra for a friend. and now think we are all your friends and all have a chance to receive such a gift. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all, as Tiny Tim says “God bless us everyone”.
What an awesome giveaway. We are traveling to Florida right before the Holidays, but will spend Christmas at home. I do love traveling ❤️?
These pillows! ?
We stay home for the holidays. It’s so much easier with younger kids. We are going on our first Merry Time cruise next year and are so excited!!
Our 1st Disney cruise is on Jan 3 on the wonder! I love reading your blogs!
We usually stay home!
What a generous giveaway! Not available on our upcoming cruise. Love following your latest trip.
Love this set!
I would love to travel for the holidays but I could never afford to do so
We stay home and our kids come for Christmas ?
These are so cute! We board the Wonder on January 3rd and we can’t wait! It will be the first cruise for the kids!
I LOVE this giveaway! We just did the Eastern in June and reading your blog made me go back to those amazing 7 days we spent on the Fantasy! Thank you!

This is so generous of you, thank you!!
I never win this stuff but always have hope♥️ Love your blog
Two fur babies, luggage, a couple of bags of grapefruit from the valley (mom’s Christmas request) and the two of us in the truck driving to Kansas. Like the song says ” Home for the Holidays”. Haven’t missed a family Christmas in 65 years.
Next year out of Galveston on a Merry Time Christmas cruise! (Everyone except the dogs)
Love your blog! It’s helped me greatly in preparing for my family of 5’s first Disney cruise (to Alaska!). Your trip reports are great fun to read and I really appreciate your detailed sharing about the shopping you did on your Alaska cruise too.
This would be nice to receive before leaving on Friday for our first DCL.
As to the question, it depends every year. Some years we stay home but others we go someplace (one year it was New York, some it’s going back home to California)
I stay home on the holiday and travel the day after
I love learning new tips for Disney cruising! I can’t wait to book our next one!
I really enjoy your blog! We leave next Saturday for our second Christmas cruise!
Thank you for the giveaway! Merry Christmas!
I’ve loved following along on this trip and would love this beautiful gift. Thanks for the chance!
Very informative blog! It helps keep me excited for our next DCL adventure!
We are unable to take time off over the holidays, so always enjoy watching others posts and reading about all the activities that DCL has..
Just finished putting my Chip and Dale ornament and figurines out that are Christmas themed as the final touch to my holiday decorations. My twin, her husband and fur babies (2 big dogs) are coming from Texas for Christmas. We haven’t missed a Christmas together for 65 years! Maybe one day we all three will do a holiday cruise together when I retire from teaching. Thank you for your blog information. As always it is a big help, especially for our upcoming summer cruise to the North Atlantic in 2019.
We traveled last years for Christmas and this year we are staying home. Both are great holidays!!
We usually stay home for Christmas holidays but went to Disney world one year. My dream is to do a Disney cruise one year!
We stay home Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We love keeping it calm and quiet! I love that the kids will grow up with traditions!
Such a great thing to have purchased an extra set to give away! You readers really appreciate you post and your kindness! Happy Holidays!
This is adorable! Our first trip on the Wonder is coming up soon (Alaska)! We will be telling the kids this Christmas.
Thanks for always giving such great trip reports!
362 Days until our 7 Day Western Caribbean adventure on board the Fantasy! Can’t wait!!
Have a Merry Christmas!! We’ll be spending Christmas at home this year but we’re ready to do a Disney destination Christmas in a few years. We plan in advance! ? Thank you!
Love your blog! Thank you for sharing with us 🙂
Love reading your trip reports, keep up the great work.
Thank you for posting this fantastic blog post I have never traveled DCl during Christmas, but you really made me want to ! ??I did my first dcl cruise and it was the best ever❤️ . hope soon I may be able try a Christmas cruise this giveaway is lovely thank .
We cruised last December to the Bahamas and Castaway Cay. I kick myself for not buying the blanket. It was such an amazing time!
Thanks for the give away! Hope I win so I can take it on the next Fantasy Cruise! Merry Christmas!
We stay home but would do another Disney Cruise for sure!
We stay home and everyone comes to us. I love hosting whatever friends and family can come. Sometimes its a lot, sometimes there are only a few. It is always a great time though.
We stay home for Christmas. Family comes over. Lots of food and good times.
Can’t wait to read this trip report! I have read all of yours!
Merrytime cruises are amazing. I hope we go on another soon.
Love reading your blog posts! I’ve learned so much to prepare us for our 1st cruise! Thank you for all you do!!
I appreciate all the food pictures beforehand 🙂 Thanks!
Great blog! ❤️Disney!
This will be a good combo gift gor my birthday on the 13th and for Christmas too. Have a happy holiday! ChEARs! °o°
I love reading your trip reports! Next best thing to being on a trip is reading about someone else’s!
Thanks for all of your trip reports and helpful info! Going on our 5th cruise May 2020!
We stay home!
I started following your blog about a year and a half ago in anticipation of our 5 day cruise on the Disney Dream! I love hearing about your adventures and have picked up some great tips from following along. My sister is a fellow Disney fanatic and travel blogger (Victoria on Vacation – sadly she doesn’t blog as much now that she’s entered the real world and accepted a job at Disneyland! But she has said that reading your blog has inspired her to get back into it, so hopefully she’ll blog our upcoming cruise on the Navigator of the Seas over Christmas). Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences and expertise!
Thanks for the give away. I tried to order one but they were sold out so hopefully I will win yours. We leave out of Miami on a Disney Cruise Dec 19-23. My daughter, who will be 5, will have her birthday on the 20th. She loves a Disney Cruise and has not experienced a Christmas one. I see that we will be on the Hawaii cruise together. Thanks again.
My kids LOVE anything cozy. They each have a blanket they never leave home without so this would be a perfect gift to announce our upcoming cruise next year. Thanks for an awesome blog and an awesome giveaway!
We’ve traveled for the holidays the past ten years, cruising over Christmas! It’s been a fun tradition. This year we’ll be on the Navigator of the Seas – maybe one year we can swing a Disney Merrytime sailing!
So cute! Love your blog- getting me ready for our first family Disney Cruise this spring!
Your trip looked amazing. Thanks for such great recommendations and report out as usual. Happy holidays. Hope I win!
Thanks so much, we leave in January for our first cruise on the Dream. Shhhh it’s a secret for my girls❤️?
I love your blog! And thank you for the opportunity to enter this giveaway!
This year I’m taking three of my grandchildren to Great Wolf Lodge for two nights, just a little trip. But I’m secretly planning a holiday cruise for hopefully next year?
Love the blog!!
We have traveled over the holidays, including Disney Cruises over New Years! So much fun! No Disney Cruise this year, so this would be awesome!
Stay home for the holidays.
Thank you for sharing. We are on this itinerary in 60 days. Loved reading your report.
Entering! 🙂
How nice of you to do this contest—I love the prize!!!
