jon46 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 only cruise I can take this coming year is a New Years cruise, because of my job. Planing on a cruise on Anthem from NJ.. Wife is worried about a lot of drinking. We both are not drinkers. I myself is a recovering alcoholic.. Is there more drinking or the same as a normal everyday cruise?

Matt Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Interesting question. On any cruise, you will find certain areas to have people around consuming drinks. The pool deck is usually a big spot for that. I think on your NYE cruise if there is additional drinking going on, it would be on the evening of New Years. Otherwise, should be "business as usual" if I had to guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsTryThisPlace Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 To add to @Matt NYE is a busy time and will have more people on board so that can also be a factor. That being said you should be able to find a more quiet spot to relax. If you are wanting to take part in the main NYE activities I would believe there would be alcohol in the main area. I have not been on an NYE cruise but this is an observation from past cruises and from living in the Caribbean tourist area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiny260 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 As @LetsTryThisTech says, if it gets to the point where the drinking is bothering you, or if you find the cravings to strong, there is always someplace quite on the ship that can be found to reflect and rebalance...

Sweety Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 I do not drink. I have been on several cruises during the holidays. I am booked on Anthem this New Year's cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations on your sobriety jon46 - 5 years myself here. I have cruised NYE a few times and I have found it to be not really any different than any other time of the year. If you are in the program and feel the need for a meeting look in the cruise planner for Friends of Bill W. Have a great trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
