New Years Eve party?

[tinkr2]

I have cruised a lot but have never been on a cruise on New Years Eve. I just booked the Miracle out of Long Beach. What should I expect for New Years Eve food? Will it be a nice better dinner in MDR like a formal night? or just a regular menu? was wondering if I should book the steakhouse for that night or keep it on the first night. Do they do balloon drops or what kind of a party?

Been on 3 NYE cruises.    Yes, NYE will be formal night.  Probably the most "formal" night of any with most people participating.

 

Pictures everywhere. 

 

Used to be free champagne approaching midnight but for some reason I don't remember any on our last cruise?  Party favors will be left in the cabin for the midnight celebration on ship time.   

 

Not sure if/what will change due to Covid.

When we cruised NYE(4X) it was always elegant nite and lobster.

 

We received our party favors, hats, horns, etc. at the dining table and the champagne was flowing on the top deck before and after midnight.

 

That was our last cruise before the pandemic.  12/2020-01/2021.
