The New Year’ s Eve celebration at Latitude Margaritaville Hilton Head most definitely made waves on the year’ s party scene. Guests were invited to leave their worries behind on the dock and come aboard to cruise into 2026. A“ Love Boat” theme was inspired by the popular TV show of the same name that ran from 1977 to 1986. Folks had a great time dressing as favorite“ Love Boat” stars Captain Stubing, Cruise Director Julie McCoy, Purser Gopher Brackett, bartender Isaac Washington and ship’ s doctor Doc Bricker. It truly was a night of retro fun with shipside snapshots, craft cocktails at the“ Lido Deck Bar,” roulette, delicious taste treats and irresistible desserts served on the“ Cabana Deck.”
Latitude Margaritaville Watersound dazzled, encouraging guests to sparkle along with the bubbly at their“ It’ s 12 o’ Clock Somewhere – Rhinestones and Resolutions” New Year’ s Eve bash. Fan favorite Mike Ponder and the Steel Rail Express provided the evening’ s live music for some truly 2026-worthy moves from country two steps to some of John Travolta’ s famous moves. Competition was keen for the glitteriest and glammiest looks and a face painter added a pop of color to the fashionable styling. A LandShark shooting gallery was a hit and there was a run on the fun photo station as guests posed for posterity as they welcomed in 2026.
