SuzyCruiser129 Posted September 2, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Wondering what to expect. Will the ship still be decorated from Christmas? Will there be an extended party? Trying to plan dinner. Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEZMARYLOU Posted September 2, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) The ship will still be decorated. There will be parties throughout, the biggest has been the pool deck, weather permitting. They pass out hats and noise makers at dinner and go around with "champagne" for a midnight toast. Don't look for discounts on specialty restaurants, they are usually in demand on a holiday sailing and get fully booked. We've done 2 NY cruises, once on Equinox and once on Eclipse. This was when they still had formal nights and just about everyone on board was dressed up, a lot of gowns and tuxes. Have one booked for next year on Reflection and will take a gown and tux.

crazyman3 Posted September 2, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 2, 2019 We were on the Connie for Christmas and New Year in 2016/17 UAE to UAE via Oman & India. There was a Santa's Grotto area, a visit or two by Father Christmas, a festive gift ---- we had a tree decoration, some others had chocolate. There were some decorated trees about the place. Oh, there was some carol singing too. The evening show had St Nicholas coming down a rope onto the stage! The Christmas menu was not festive in Luminae so we orederd off the MDR menu: the roast turkey meal was like a school dinner! We were so sad because a Norwegian couple had joined us especially for that traditional English Christmas Dinner. On NYE some people went into Dubai to watch the fireworks. The rest of us enjoyed the entertainment, food and drink on the ship. Would we cruise again at Christmas/NYE? Yes! You bet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
