Carnival Cruise Line Bringing Back The Paper FunTimes Activity Newsletters In 2023

2/22/2023

 
Carnival Cruise FunTimes
       Carnival Cruise Line has announced the FunTimes activity newsletters will soon be making a return onboard. Prior to the Covid-19 shutdown, Carnival used to provide a paper newsletter to each stateroom at night with the next day's activities. This newsletter was called the FunTimes and highlighted onboard activities, shopping, dining, and various things happening on the ship or port information. After the Covid-19 shutdown, the FunTimes did not return. Instead Carnival has had a few one page black & white flyers available at guest services that highlights basic activity & dining information. 
             I'm excited that the FunTimes are going to be making a return very soon! This was one of the post-shutdown changes that I personally did not like. This post will discuss some basics about the FunTimes and the return of the popular newsletter. 

When are the FunTimes going to be back onboard Carnival's ships?
                   According to John Heald, the FunTimes are going to come back in the coming weeks. At this time it is not clear if there will be a rollout schedule by ship or if the ships will transition to having these available at a certain time. 
How will guests get the FunTimes newsletter?
​                A copy for the next day will be delivered to each stateroom's mailbox. Before the Covid shutdown extra copies of the FunTimes were available at Guest Services so hopefully this will also come back. 
Will activities still be listed on the Carnival Hub App?
                    Yes, each Carnival ship should still be posting activities to the Carnival Hub App. Before Covid-19, the FunTimes and Carnival Hub app both contained the daily activities and dining information. 
Is there going to be a benefit of having the Carnival Hub App now that the FunTimes are coming back?
                 I would say yes, there is still a benefit of having the Carnival Hub App downloaded for your cruise. Keep in mind that dining room menus and other menus can be viewed using a QR code onboard. Further, you can check-in for dining using the Carnival Hub App. 
Sample Fun-Times From The Past
                     Prior to the Covid-19 shutdown, I used to save my FunTimes to include in the cruise reviews I share online. For examples of what the Fun-Times used to look like please check out the pages below:

The good news is that the return of the FunTimes gives guests one more way to keep track of onboard events & activities. Between the Carnival Hub App and the FunTimes guests will be able to stay informed about everything happening onboard.
