New Years Cruises-Yes or No??

[suey]

This week we are looking at booking the New Year cruise on the Jewel for end of this year. A big family trip again with 12 of us confirmed already and a few stragglers I am waiting for before I make the booking. But after reading some threads on here, I am wondering whether to book a New Year one or not?? We have never really seen any BAD behaviour on our previous cruises, I am not sure if this is just good luck or the fact we are not late-night/early morning people, usually in bed before 1am at the very latest. So we don't see the late night antics.

So just wondering what are your views on New Year cruises????:)

[Teegiee]

YES! been twice going this year on the Jewel. seen nothing bad-ever

SUEY..you would have to be prepared for a lot of children on the cruise in the New Year being school hols and all and also a lot of party animals. If you do not mind those, get out there!

Read both of my reviews for W901 New Year parts 1 & 2 and you wont regret it. There is bad behaviour on every cruise and there were heaps of children but they were well behaved and are kept busy in the relevant kids clubs.

The only fear you will have is you will want to book it every year after your return THE BEST NYE Party i have ever attended :D

I have now been on two NYE cruises, on Pacific Dawn and Dawn Princess. Now busily researching which one to go on next new years as I cant think of a better way to celebrate it. Go for it!!!!

[MargnGrah]

Yep, I too would go for it. :D

 

No matter what cruise you go on you could run into unruly behaviour.

I have ben told of bad behaviour on previous cruises , but as we were tucked up in bed :eek: when it happened we were not affected by it.

[Molly Doble]

Yes do it, we have done one and I am now researching which new year cruise to do next:D:D

Me too i am hooked prob back on the Dawn it is cheaper and i had a great time :D

[tassie cruiser]

We have been on Pacific Dawn NYE (07-08) and Dawn Princess (08-09) and now looking at Pacific Jewel. We have had great time on each, as Simone and everyone else says, they are great and once you do one you will be hooked.

Is anyone else out there booked on Jewel NYE????

Suey, I asked the same question a few days ago, and received many positive messages so we booked it. Have a read ("Freaking out about NY Cruise). Also ensure you read Krusein's reviews 1 & 2. They just got back from the NYcruise and had a ball. Hope to see you there! Pacific Jewel has some great specials through Travel Agents and include on board credit. (not directly thru P/O).

 

Go for it!

[suey]

WE HAVE BOOKED!!!! We booked this morning on the Jewel for 11 of us, they said not much left for four berths already. We booked one 3-berth and two 4-berths, so amother cruise to look forward to.:)

[tassie cruiser]

We have just got back from New Years Eve cruise and was thinking of doing new years on pacific jewel, but wasnt really ready to book yet, from what i have heard it is booking out quickly. we require a 4 berth, did you mean there wasnt many 4 berths left??oh no................ i better think more on it and quickly by the sounds of it.

we asked for the cheapest 4-berth option and the cheapest offered was on deck 10 (Baja equivalent) deck for 4-berths and deck 11 (Aloha equivalent) for 3 berth. Was told we were lucky that there was still room for our two teenagers. Got TA group booking price (P & O told TA about it she didn't know) with $100 on board credit each. Already have cabin numbers.:)

Cant judge it til you actually experience it for yourself !!!!!! :D

[tassie cruiser]

We have been on 2 new years eve cruises in a row and have had nothing but a great time on each. If you have 2000 people in one place maybe you will get a few problems, we personally have not experienced anything bad at all, Some people seem to complain no matter where they are or what they are doing. We would not hesitate to go on another and i think the majority of people that have experienced a new years eve cruise would agree.

My best NYE ever was on a cruise. It was the Pride of Hawaii NYE2007 it was spectacular, the food, drinks, the entertainment, the dj's/band everything was just incredible. We partied for 2 days straight!!! NYE on a ship is in my opinion the BEST way to celebrate the beginning of a new year the atmosphere and excitement is one that can not be experienced on land. We never once saw any bad behavior (may be because we were the badly behaved...heheh kidding)

we have so we dont

[margrey]

I am with you Theid NEVER again.:(

Although i did enjoy it there were too many young groups of guys and girls so would not spend my money on another NYE cruise.I would rather go after the new year when i hope it will be a bit quieter, we are thinking either the Rhapsody or the Dawn Princess to NZ in Jan 2010 hopefully sailing from Melbourne less hassle than flying to Sydney.

We are going on the Royal flying doctors charity cruise on 1st april so will get the chance to check out the Rhapsody then.:D
