Carnival Cruise ships have many different entertainment options which include deck parties. Carnival's Brand Ambassador, John Heald, recently posted a listing of all of the theme parties & nights that are being done onboard each ship as of late December 2023 as the ship's begin the 2024 year!
Last Updated: 12/30/2023
About The Parties/Theme Nights:
White Night: For the White Night Party guests typically wear white clothing and white accessories. However, you do not have to wear white to attend.
Mega Deck: The Mega Deck Party is typically hosted outside on the Lido Deck near the main pool.
Theme Parties: A variety of Carnival ships have theme parties based on a particular decade such as the 70's, 80's, or 90's. Some guests will wear attire from that decade, but most guests will just show-up to have a good time and sing along with the music from the decade!
How do I find when and where the parties on my ship will be? Once you are on your cruise check the Carnival Hub App. The Carnival Hub App contains the entertainment dates, times, and locations for all activities on your cruise.
Can the party theme or event offered change? Yes! This can vary based on the cruise director, cruise length, and a variety of other factors. Please do not be upset if the party is no longer held on your ship because it can change due to a variety of reasons! The listing for some ships may include more parties than your cruise will have, especially if your itinerary is shorter, but the entertainment team onboard may decide to host different events instead of a particular party. Hopefully if something changes there will be something else fun for you to attend onboard!
