hbruner Posted April 29, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 29, 2017 My husband goes to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings at least twice a day. Does anybody know if AA meetings are held on the Dream ship? We are leaving May 7th. If there isn't, would anybody be interested in meeting with him daily for meetings?

EmeraldCoastCruisers Posted April 29, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 29, 2017 We were on the Dream back in 2016 and our friend did an AA meeting on board. Not sure how often, but back then they had them. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spleenstomper Posted April 29, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Yes and I believe meetings were every day. DH remembers no meeting first day and he thinks they were at 5:00 pm other days. BTW, At The Wet Lizard restaurant in Belize, you can sharpie write on the rafters and someone wrote "I am a friend if Bill W and I didn't drink on my cruise!" For anyone wondering, dream also had narc a non. DH remembers these are in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1025cruise Posted April 29, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 29, 2017 One thing to keep in mind, just because there are meetings posted, doesn't mean they are greatly attended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the meetings are completely self-directed. The ship only provides the space, it is up to the interested parties to conduct the meeting.

evandbob Posted April 29, 2017 #10 Share Posted April 29, 2017 There are usually "Friends of Bill" and "Friends of Jimmy" (NA) meetings listed in the Fun Times. And while the Library is very commonly the venue, I've seen the Piano Bar at noon, the Art Auction Room, and yes, even the Coffee Shop public area on the Conquest Class ships listed as meeting places. There may be 1 or 2 people showing up, or there could be a crowd of 15 -20. Bring your own coffee, water and Grapevine if you please. There may or may not be a sign for a "Private Function" provided. Guest Services is usually amenable to making changes if the place listed is not conducive to a meeting. Sometimes a sober travel group is on board and they will have their own activities/meetings but will allow others to attend as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinpsychRN Posted April 29, 2017 #11 Share Posted April 29, 2017 If you meet someone in a meeting you can arrange to meet more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted April 29, 2017 #12 Share Posted April 29, 2017 If you meet someone in a meeting you can arrange to meet more often. Or exchange cabin #'s, so support is possible outside of meeting times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
