First time DLC - when do itinerary on ship come out?

[Jodieg]

Hi. We have booked the Merrytime cruise on the Dream for December from PC. First time on a cruise! It’s only 6 weeks away and I’m trying to get organised. When will the ship itinerary be published? I mean in terms of themed dinners, fireworks etc? Also the onboard shop has no Xmas things in? I was hoping to have booked the room decor package etc but it’s just general Disney and no Xmas related bits? Will that come out nearer the time? I’m just trying to plan outfits. I’ve got the app and have booked our port adventures but nothing on there to show what’s on each day and evening. Thanks

You won’t know the full itinerary until you are on board. It will show in the app.

However, you can look online at previous Navigators (a Navigator is a daily news sheet showing everything that’s on - they don’t really do the paper version any more, but people have put old ones online).

Your dining rotation is allocated at check-in and you can try and change this if you like, if pirate night is happening it can be either second or third night and may change due to the weather anyway. The DCL Navigator app is the best way to find out what is on and when on the ship you can get paper copies from guest services. Not sure about the room package though I expect that there will be a seasonal theme to the package I wouldn't want to promise this. We are also on a Merrytime cruise from PC though probably a few weeks later than you as we have 7 weeks to wait. Have a great time!

The Christmas room decor packages I think come out after Halloween. That said they may or may not be doing them this year given COVID - I don't know if their production sites have reopened etc to be able to supply them.
