Suggestion for the turn of the year?

oh a new year's cruise sounds amazing. my partner and i have talked about doing one, but we always get hung up on the vibe. those longer holiday ones can feel really family-heavy, which isnt really the mood we're going for. if you're looking for a more adult, party atmosphere, i'd lean towards the shorter itinerary like the brilliant lady maybe? less chance of a ton of kids. does anyone know if any of these ships have an adults-only area or pool? that's always a big plus for us.

The longer cruises around the holidays are definitely a mixed bag. We did a New Year's cruise a couple years back and found the party atmosphere was fantastic, but it got pretty tame once you got away from the main nightlife spots. If you're looking for a more uninhibited vibe, I'd focus on the adults-only areas and maybe even check if any of those ships have a hidden gem like a secluded sundeck. Sometimes that's where the real fun finds you after midnight.
