Welcome aboard, Deborah! I'm excited for you to experience your very first Disney Cruise. Not only will you enjoy all the magic that guests always experience onboard the ship, but you're in for even more fun with the
New Year's Eve celebrations!
Since you board on New Year's Eve, that very first night will be formal night. Elegant evening attire is suggested, including tuxedos or jackets and ties for the men, formal or semi-formal wear for the ladies and your children can wear their fanciest outfits that night too.
The Youth Clubs will stay open until 2:00 a.m. that night with even more fun for the kiddos, also allowing the parents to ring in the New Year in one of the adult parties around the ship. Kids will have dance parties, arts and crafts and their very own New Year's Eve celebration too.
There will be champagne toasts in a variety of spots around the ship and of course the big countdown to midnight.
The second night will be cruise casual, followed by
Pirate Night (bring pirate gear if you'd like!) and finally another cruise casual night.
Have fun as you continue planning your cruise, Deborah. I'm happy to help if you have other questions before you set sail!
