Does the schedule change?
            The schedule can change at any point in time. For this reason, I do not recommend booking a cruise solely to have a certain cruise director because I do not want you to be disappointed if the schedule changes. I do understand that having a well liked cruise director is a great reason to want a certain cruise, but just realize things could change with the schedule. You may show up to the cruise ship on embarkation day and find a completely different person as cruise director than the schedule reflects. Sometimes last minute changes may be made. 

What if my ship has a TBA cruise director?
                This most likely means that Carnival has not finalized who will be on your cruise at a particular date. Generally, the TBAs are filled in advance of a cruise leaving. Even if for some reason your cruise didn't have a true cruise director someone onboard would probably act as the cruise director which would mean no visible impact would be seen by guests. In some cases Carnival shows a TBA as a blank space in the schedule. 

How far out does the schedule go? 
                  Since Carnival's schedule is updated frequently this could change. Generally for most ships, the planned cruise director up until summer or fall 2025 is announced. If you are looking back for late 2025 or early 2026 cruise director information I recommend checking back in the upcoming months. Just keep checking back is my recommendation! 

What does it mean when my ship has dates that look like two cruise directors are onboard?
                    Typically this means your Carnival Cruise ship is about to change cruise directors. Sometimes Carnival will send the next cruise director onto the ship a little early so they can learn the ropes and plan. You may get some entertainment from both cruise directors in this case, but typically the cruise director that has already been on the ship will be the main presence. It could vary!

Is there an entertainment director schedule for Carnival Cruise ships?
                    The entertainment director onboard is usually mostly behind the scenes. There used to be an entertainment director schedule, but Carnival does not publish this schedule anymore. 

Does Carnival publish a FunSquad schedule?
                        Unfortunately, Carnival does not have a FunSquad team member schedule published online.
