beckymomof2 Posted April 10, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Are there any alcohol free cruises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry's Girls Posted April 10, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 10, 2014 No - ships make a chunk of their profit off bar service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebeccalouiseagain Posted April 10, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) If you are trying to avoid the party atmosphere- i.e drunks by the pool... I suggest you go on an Alaskan or New England cruise. These attract travelers and explorers more than partyers. If you go on longer cruises- you will also find fewer drinkers. The people that tend to get drunk do the shorter cruises where they feel compelled to blow off steam for a few days.

On the longer cruises you won't find that many drunk cruisers but there will still be lots of alcohol served. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailinglisa Posted April 11, 2014 #5 Share Posted April 11, 2014 There may be some Christian charter cruises that will be alcohol free, but you will pay a higher fare for them as they lose a lot of money not selling alcohol or having the casino open.

Lerin Posted April 11, 2014 #6 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Don't know your exact reason for asking but we are not big drinkers and have never had an issue with party atmosphere on ships. Certain areas will bring out more drinking: bars, dance club at night, lido deck...but it's not too hard to avoid. Now if you feel it is a problem for you to be around it, many lines offer Friends of Bill meet ups. Also lines such as HAL or an Alaska cruise will have less party behavior.

pattle66 Posted April 11, 2014 #7 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I agree with RebaccaLouiseagain. We have been on a few longer cruises and these tend not to attract a party crowd. Alcohol is still served but it is rare to see drunken behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSLeesburg Posted April 11, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Also, I noticed on the Cruise Compass, Grandeur had an alcohol free zone up on deck 10 by the kids club. I am not sure if they enforce this or offer it on other ships, but it might provide someplace to go if you want to avoid drinkers. I should point out that this is not the best area of the ship, so it does not attract a ton of people - too windy some days.
