Huge deck party. Champagne (cheap) flows freely during embarkation and on at the deck party, They put party favors and hats on dining tables in mdr. We have done New Years cruises for three years and love them

It's like being in Times Square in the Caribbean, highly recommend it!

You would think one of the cruise lines would sponsor a NYE Live party on TV. So, at midnight as the station shows different parts of the US celebrating NYE, they would go to a live shot of the celebration on the ship.

 

We have done two NYE cruises and it is one of my favorite times to cruise. But, DW doesn't care for it due to the ship being at max capacity, highest price for a cabin of the year and too many drunk people.

 

If you haven't done a NYE Cruise, you should at least try it once.

We've been on three NYE cruises with Carnival. The champagne flows and the party is big. If you miss the top deck party, or can't get to it, they also have a balloon drop in the atrium. Dinner is usually a formal night if it works out with the port schedule. Hopefully you'll have a sea day on January 1st. Have fun.

A NYE cruise was on my bucket list, and I finally booked one for next year 17/18 on the Magic. Glad to see free flowing champagne and party on deck.

To save money, since it's a peak prices week, we booked a 4J cabin on Lido...close enough to a deck space and it's fine if I have to share.:D

We did one a few years ago and had a great time. I loved that they had a special new years eve menu in the MDR with different menu items I had never had before. We had a great time!

We sail on NYE. I've never had formal night on the night that we sail away. Do you think it won't be formal if it's the first night?

We've done 4 and agree with the above. It's the biggest, loudest party I've ever been to. At midnight they sound the ships horn. Lots of fun.

We have done several NYE cruises and love them! We have had it not be an elegant night but some people still dressed up, others didn't. 2 years ago we were on the Breeze for NYE and below is a video so you can see what the deck party and life that week is like.

I will give one word of warning...every sailing is different because the passengers are different. One year when my boys were in elementary school on a NYE cruise we had a lot of older teens & young adults who were out of control. To the point they were throwing bottles of champagne on the ground & in the pool (lots of broken glass, pool closed for 2 days after). But out of the 5 NYE cruises that was the only one we had problems on.
