Easter Sunday On A Carnival Cruise: Activities On The Ship, Religious Services, & Info

3/22/2025

        If you will be on a Carnival Cruise during Easter your ship may hold some events & activities to celebrate Easter. This post will discuss some of the events & activities Carnival lists on their website for Easter Sunday as well as discuss Carnival's policy regarding religious clergy & services onboard.   
            Easter Sunday for 2025 is Sunday, April 20, 2025. The events & activities scheduled onboard will depend on the ship's location for the day as well as the entertainment department onboard.   


Does Carnival have Easter church services onboard for Easter Sunday?
                 According to Carnival's website a non-denominational service is listed as being planned for ships that are not in their homeport on Easter Sunday. This means ships that are undergoing debarkation & embarkation on Easter Sunday will not have any type of service held onboard. Carnival's website does not give any additional information about who will lead a non-denominational service on ships that are having services. 
What Easter themed activities & events are scheduled to take place for Easter Sunday?
      Carnival's website states that a Family Easter Hop N' Stop event and Family Easter Flower Hunt are scheduled to take place. Guests onboard during Easter should be able to learn the information from the ship's entertainment team regarding these events. Carnival also states that "Easter Egg-stravaganza" bingo is scheduled to take place. Bingo onboard typically costs extra and I'm not exactly sure how the game will be done with an Easter theme. Carnival also mentions an Easter Traditions Trivia is one of the events that will take place. The Carnival youth programs will also be hosting onboard events & activities. 
         The main dining room at dinner is scheduled to serve a special Easter menu. Click Here for my post showing the 2025 Carnival Cruise Easter 2025 main dining room menu. Ships with a steakhouse onboard and that are at sea on Easter Sunday are also scheduled to serve a special lunch menu that guests can book a reservation onboard. 
What is Carnival's policy regarding religious services and clergy?
                    
Carnival's website references the religious services policy around multiple holidays (this is not Easter specific information). Carnival does not place clergy onboard their ships. Clergy that are traveling on a Carnival Cruise ship are able to volunteer to conduct a service while on the cruise. The clergy traveling should contact Guest Services and leave their name, stateroom number, and description of the services they offer. Additionally, the clergy member must leave a letter showing good standing with their religious organization with Guest Services. Per Carnival's website the final determination of approval will be based on factors such as the letter, schedule suitability, and venue availability. 
Where I can I get more information from Carnival? 
​                The FAQ section of Carnival's website has great information regarding the Easter Sunday holiday celebration as well as the religious services policy. I highly encourage you to check out both of these policies as these are the sources of my information to write this post.
