New Years Eve onboard?

[Skyesong]

We'll be cruising on Voyager of the Seas over New Years (depart on the 30th). New Years Eve and Day are scheduled as cruising days. Is there anything special that usually happens onboard for New Years? I presume it would be considered a more formal night?

[Clarea]

Yes, they usually arrange formal night for New Year's Eve.

We just did the BOS for a 5 nighter, boarding NYE and cruising NYD. NYE was indeed our formal night. It was one of our favorite cruises thus far, enjoy!

We did on Allure last year. Fantastic fun would go on a New Year Cruise every year.

Big party on promenade and various other places.

Special meal in restaurant.

Plenty of drink.....great times :D :champagne-toast:

Best cruise ever.

Be prepared to have to buy a champagne/table package in many of the venues to get a seat on NYE. We are not champagne drinkers so we didn't feel the need and were shocked how many of their "limited availability" tables were sold in lounges. We have never had to pay extra on any of the other cruise lines on NYE to get a seat in venues. They already substantially increase the cruise price at NYE so they are just gouging customers so be prepared. We love cruising for NYE, but we just do it on other cruise lines now.

I've heard this before, what ship were you on? BOS is a small ship so we did not encounter this. I would like to know which ship for future NYE cruises though.
