Upcoming News: Cruise Ships May Soon Accommodate Support Groups
The Importance of Support Groups for Cruise Passengers
Support groups are vital for individuals in recovery, providing a sense of community, accountability, and support. For those who enjoy cruising, finding a support group while on vacation can be challenging. However, that may soon change as cruise lines explore the possibility of accommodating support groups, including Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
Friends of Bill W: The Code for AA Meetings on Cruise Ships
AA meetings are often held on cruise ships under the code name "Friends of Bill W," a reference to AA's co-founder Bill Wilson. Passengers who wish to attend an AA meeting can discreetly inquire about "Friends of Bill W" meeting times and locations.
Currently, the availability of AA meetings on cruise ships is limited and varies depending on the cruise line and itinerary. However, the growing demand for support services among cruise passengers has prompted cruise lines to consider providing dedicated spaces and resources for these groups.
