Formal NY Eve on HAL?
Does anyone have any experience with HAL on New Year's Eve? Should we
expect it to be formal night? Will there be a party at midnight? Fancy indoor party or informal deck party? We'll be in the Caribbean. Thanks, Helen |

Formal NY Eve on HAL?
Would love to hear more about this as we will be on the Carnival Legend
for New Years Eve. That's embarkation day, so we're wondering whether there will actually be a party that night. (There WIlL be one, for us at least, but it'd be nice if the whole ship would join in!) Eileen jcoulter wrote: Ships often switch the schedule to accomodate New Years eve. On Carnival Pride lasat year it was formal night, of course not many of us were left in formal wear by midnight on the deck, but if the weather is good, be there formal or not it is fun (and will be even on HAL) |

Dancing, drinking (free champagne at midnight) toasting and general merrymaking. It is really hard to mess up New Years (Ok I've seen it done but it is not easy) |

I was on the Statendam last NY's and it seemed the whole ship was a
party. It was formal and at dinner each guest had hats and noise makers at their dinner places. The Captain started a countdown a few minutes before midnight. At midnight all sorts of bells, whistles and the big ship horn went off. Fun---I hope you enjoy your cruise. |

Formal NY Eve on HAL?
On my cruise it was a formal night. It was absolutely WONDERFUL. There =
was a huge ship-wide party with big celebrations in all the lounges. I = was in the Queen's Lounge on the old Westerdam. Some of the passengers = were getting the waiters dancing even while they were serving. The live = band was just excellent, and it was one of the best New Year's Eve = parties I've ever been to.

That sounds like fun and I'd sure rather not be dressed formally on deck.
New Years Eve can be messed up, believe me. We once had friends doing their laundry at our house on New Years Eve. (They will be with us on this cruise, and they are DEAD if they do laundry that night.)
