New Year’s Eve in Cancun

Let’s get this party started!

Cancun is well known as a great place to party, with world class nightclubs and all night fiestas, what better place to ring in the new year and the new decade!  Tonight the town will be rocking with revellers, dressed in their best and bringing in the new year with a bang.  When in Mexico, celebrate with some local traditions,  wear yellow underwear to have a year lucky in money or red underwear for luck in love and romance!  With the tolling of the bells at midnight, eat 12 grapes for 12 months of wishes come true.  Of course, a kiss and a toast are mandatory at the turn of the year (and the turn of the decade of course!)

Here’s a quick party guide for what’s going to be a hot and happening night in Cancun!

Coco Bongo-  The world’s most exciting nightclub is THE place to be tonight, expect a great show, a packed house and amazing music and treats from the kings of the party in Cancun.  Tickets are expensive but definitely worth their weight in gold, $120 USD for regular entrace, $150 for express admission.  This will be a fiesta to remember and a fantastic way to ring in the new year and new decade!

The City- One of the largest and most popular nightclubs in Cancun, The City promises a night full of great music, great friends and great fun.  The highlight of the night will be the after party being held in the Playa Cabana beach club located behind the disco with pools and sunbeds (moonbeds?) and a huge stretch of beautiful beach.  Party til dawn and rock in the new year!  Contact the club for reservations, $80 USD for open bar all night, $40 USD entrance only or get the VIP package for $660 USD for five people with two bottles and special table service.  The party starts at the Corona Bar outside The City at 8:30, entrance to the main disco at 10:30, party moves to the beach club at 2:00 am and guests are invited to party there until 7 am.  Special prices for Cancunenses, enquire at the club!

Dady’O-  The Dady group is famous for it’s incredible Cancun nightclubs and Dady’O is sure to be on fire tonight!  They’ve got celebrity guests and an all night dinner buffet, VIP bottle service or open bar available.  Contact the club for reservations and get ready to dance the night away!

There are so many parties tonight it’s going to be hard to choose!  Señor Frogs, The Bulldog Cafe, Basic, Sweet, Pat O’Briens, Carlos n Charlies, Congo, Terraza, Slices, the list is endless, but every bar will be going all out for the new year’s festivities.

If crowded bars are not your thing, you can still bring in the new year in style.  For something far more romantic and intimate, the Cancun Lover’s Cruise is perfect for you.  A slow lagoon cruise on a beautiful ship, steak and lobster, and a bottle of Moët et Chandon for each couple, this is definitely the lovers’ way to ring in the new year.  Call locally 998 849 4748 for reservations.

However or wherever you plan to celebrate, we wish you a very happy and safe new year and hope that 2010 brings you happiness, peace and prosperity.  Happy New Year from Dtraveller!

Set Sail with Caribbean Carnaval Cancun Cruises

Looking for adventure on the high seas?  Join Caribbean Carnaval for a fantastic Cancun cruise!

Bring the whole family to enjoy the Caribbean Funday day trip to the beautiful island escape of Isla Mujeres.  Board the double decker boat in Cancun and set sail for Isla Mujeres while enjoying the ocean breezes and the energetic entertainers.  You’ll land on Isla Mujeres at a private beach club, “El Pescador” where you can enjoy a delicious lunch buffet, open bar and a variety of island activities including kayaking, snorkeling, bicycle tours and shopping (extra charge for some activities).  Not the adventurous sort?  Settle yourself in a hammock with a cold drink in hand and soak up the relaxing tropical vibes.  The party continues on the return trip to Cancun with high energy music and dancing to celebrate your day in paradise.

If you’re looking for an evening party cruise, check out the Pirate Assault or the Caribbean Carnaval.  Start the night off on a double decker boat ride to Isla Mujeres.  Enjoy the open bar with tropical fruit juices or your favourite alcoholic beverage while dancing and enjoying the antics of the entertainers on board.  Those aboard the Pirate Assault be warned, there´s pirates in them thar seas, you may just find yourself whisked away!  The party continues at the private beach club on Isla Mujeres with a fantastic dinner buffet, continuing open bar and a great show just for you with interactive activities and games.  This is not your typical “booze cruise”, it’s so much more with professional shows, exciting stunts and the friendliest staff in town.

On a personal note, (this is a real blog written by a real person after al!) I´ve done these tours a number of times and have laughed and danced and enjoyed myself immensely.  The buffet food is the highlight for me, you should not miss the fresh fish and the spread of desserts!  I always walk away eating far more than I should, but isn´t that what party cruises are for?  I can’t sing at all but find myself running to the stage for the karaoke contest every time. You’ve got to let your hair down, embrace the silly games and allow yourself to relax and enjoy this unique experience.  Let it all hang out!
