vermontvoyager Posted August 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I am sure they no longer have them, but does anyone know if RCI still has a Prohibition Party on any of the ships? I know that they used to have them on Allure of the Seas, pre-covid times. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted August 23, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) Haven't seen it on Allure or Harmony since the return to sailing. If they offer it - it should show up in the cruise planner. M Edited August 23, 2022 by cruisegirl1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxgoodrich Posted August 23, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 23, 2022 We went to a Prohibition Party on Allure, and it was great fun! Most people dressed for it, and the staff were all dressed in 20's finery. When we got our invitation in our cabin, there were 2 lapel pins. We were also given a password. We were instructed to wear the pins and use the password to get into the Speakeasy. There were nibbles, live music, fake horse racing, and lots of gin drinks from the 20's. Fun! I think Allure was the only ship that did them, but I could be wrong about that. Possibly other ships had Prohibition Parties after the success on Allure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxgoodrich Posted August 23, 2022 #8 Share Posted August 23, 2022 It was a lot of fun! If I remember right, it cost about $35pp and it started late...like at 10pm? The door guard (at the Jazz Club) was dressed like a 20's gangster, complete with fedora. We had to show him our pins and whisper the password to him. The drinks were served (speakeasy style) in teacups. The live music was 20's jazz, and there were a few dancers present doing the Charleston, Black Bottom, etc. They would teach you the steps if you didn't know the dances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BekkaW Posted August 23, 2022 #9 Share Posted August 23, 2022 It was a tie in when the musical Chicago was on Allure. Haven’t seen it since that musical ended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxgoodrich Posted August 23, 2022 #10 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) Yes, that's right! I was trying to remember why Allure was the only ship that had a Prohibition Party back then, and you nailed it. It's because Chicago was the show on Allure. And Chicago on Allure was fantastic when we saw it. Edited August 23, 2022 by foxgoodrich 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermontvoyager Posted August 24, 2022 Author #11 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Thank you everyone for your replies. We are going on Allure for a B2B for my Lady's birthday on Halloween and were planning on roaring 20's attire and was hoping the prohibition party still existed.🙂 Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxgoodrich Posted August 24, 2022 #12 Share Posted August 24, 2022 We had fun dressing up! Took this pic on our way to the Jazz Club for the Prohibition Party. Even if you don't have the party on your cruise, be sure to get a photo op in your 20's attire!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATSEAMYLIFE Posted August 25, 2022 #13 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Loved the Prohibition Party it was lots of fun. I do wish they would do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumRunner01 Posted August 24, 2023 #14 Share Posted August 24, 2023 It's been a year since this post, but has anyone noticed if the Prohibition party is back? It sure was a lot of fun. It might be a factor in which ship I book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyancho Posted August 24, 2023 #18 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I have taken a lot of Royal Caribbean cruises but have never heard of it. It sure does sound like fun.

Cruise a holic Posted August 24, 2023 #19 Share Posted August 24, 2023 nope- - The first time we went is was excellent- cast from chicago were their and it was fun- the second time- not good- no actors joining in- boring- we left after 1/2 hour as did most guests. They gave you some "free drinks" and snacks. Royal didn't put any effort in making it special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only on Allure once in 2012 and I know my BIL/SIL went to it and they were on that cruise with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph2017China Posted August 24, 2023 #21 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Pre Covid Royal Caribbean had skeet shooting. Have they brought it back post Covid? I know, it sounds silly, but Covid had nothing to do with any activity on the ship now. Sure, some things were modified for short period of time, when the ship was complying with rules by politicians that did not actually help on a ship. but most things run in cycles, and current activities happen based on current planning staff. So whether it is skeet shooting, driving golf balls, or a prohibition party, it will come and go with demand (except skeet shooting). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The golf balls, and the skeet shooting, ended years and years ago. I remember both of those activities in the 80s. I suspect they ended shortly after that. m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taglovestocruise Posted August 24, 2023 #23 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Seeing that they are removing the Jazz Club the Prohibition Party is dead. I remember doing the party on the Symphony TA in 2018, I think . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
