My wife and I are thinking about celebrating our 20 year anniversary by going on a New Years cruise. Has anyone done this and what are your thoughts? What cruise line did you go with? Any additional perks by going on New Years? Thanks!

We have been on several. I don't drink but enjoy the party and the festive atmosphere. We are booking the legend for New Years 2020

I've been on 2 and my third is booked for this year. It's only my opinion but there really isn't much of a difference than any other cruise. You might get some free Champagne if you're in the right place, there is a party on the Lido deck and in the Atrium with a band, and that's all I've experienced. One other point, NYE cruises like a Christmas cruise, it'll will cost you more.

New Years Eve cruise sounds like it may be fun if I had my family with me. I like bringing in the New Year with my family.

Interesting but not for me.

My business would not easily allow me to do a New Year's cruise because too many year end things that have to be done unless New Years was on a Monday and cruise left Saturday or Sunday. If I were able to it sounds like it would be fun but there is no way I would pay a lot more for a cruise just to do it on New Year's eve. I would rather go on 2 cruises then pay double for one just so I can do it on a holiday. I like spending a quiet evening with friends and relatives on New Year's eve and watching college bowl games on New Year's day.

I did my first New Year cruise this past December/January. I was very apprehensive at first because I usually sail solo and I knew this would be slightly different from my normal cruises due to most people are coupled up or bringing in the New Year with friends. Well, I was placed at a table with either other solo travelers or singles traveling together. The ladies and I pretty much meshed and would do some things together. I read where someone said there were more drunken people than usual on the cruise they went on. I did not experience this which was great. Everyone was all about having a great time and partying from the Atrium to the Lido deck to the night club. I would recommend any and everyone who can afford it, to do at least one New Year cruise.
