MarineMoMmaBear Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 So this is our first RC and holiday cruise and it the first ever cruise for our friends. our travel agent found us a sweet deal on aft cabins Deck 7, is this a good spot or should we look at other location high deck etc.? What should we expect from a holiday cruise? Should we plan for a snazzy formal NYE evening or on classy casual? ...or what? would anyone suggest specialty dinning for that night? Super excited but need to chill and plan responsibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmef Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 Dress is up to you, your cruise will have a " dress to impress" night. That can be very formal if you like, or festive and less formal (slacks/button down, short cocktail dress). Most specialty restaurants will offer a set holiday menu at a certain price. Not usually included in UDP plan. MarineMoMmaBear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't ever bother us and instead lulls us to sleep. MarineMoMmaBear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedNoodles Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 If it's an actual aft-facing cabin then no way would I give that up! WAAAYTOOO and MarineMoMmaBear 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LonB Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 It's been several years, but 4 of us went on a cruise from Dec 27 to Jan 3. NYE on the ship was terrific. We did tuxedos and went completely formal -- it was a blast. I loved it MarineMoMmaBear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
