Cheyennetodawsonville Posted June 16, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Has anyone ever experienced New Years Eve on Nautica? I was wondering what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfapair Posted June 16, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 16, 2023 We were on the Insignia for NYE, and the Insignia is similar to the Nautica. They had a special menu in the Main Dining Room - I remember a really good lobster dish in particular. The Lounge was decorated with balloons, andthere were silly hats & horns available for the passengers. On our particular cruise the seas were pretty rough that day, so it put a damper on the festivities since about 50% of the passengers were not feeling well. But there was music & dancing for those who felt like partying the night away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreastman Posted June 17, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Similar experience on Sirena a couple of years ago (special menu, funny hats, horns, etc.), but with an unwanted "extra". We had retired early after a long day. At midnight, the captain decided that everyone needed to celebrate, so did a live countdown on the speakers in every stateroom (not just in the hallways, as usual with announcements). Woke us (and I imagine quite a few others) from a sound sleep. It was very loud, and no way to turn it off. I don't know if this is standard procedure for New Year's on O, but you might want to be aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at midnight on Regatta to welcome in the (awful to be) year 2020 I was at the party on the pool deck, so can't say for sure what the Captain was doing that particular night/time.

THAT one you don't want to be able to squelch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
