This is what teens want to do- hang out with their own kind. They utilized the Club O2 quite a bit and parents are not allowed in (and no I didnt try). I let them eat all the food they could want and ice cream until their stomachs bulged....
Dining and Beverages
As you embark on your first day, you’ll immediately notice the Christmas decorations found throughout the ship. From wreaths to jingle bells to the ever popular mistletoe (pucker up!), each ship will leave no doubt that the holiday season is well underway. Stunning Christmas trees are set up in various parts of the ship too.
Carnival Cruises Onboard Holiday Activities Schedule for December 2023
We were herded into a shuttle van and told the driver where to take us. Most of the people were headed on the van were headed there. Once we got going, the driver and tour guide of sorts tried to convince us to pay extra and they would take us around the city. No one agreed and she got very unhappy.
Cinco de Mayo Cruises with Carnival
The Christmas festivities, which begin the day after Thanksgiving and run through December 25, culminate in a delicious Christmas dinner. This dinner features traditional favorites like the Christmas turkey (oven-roasted with all trimmings) and pumpkin pie with whipped cream. A Christmas cruise is always great value, especially when you consider the memories you and your family will make. When you search our Christmas cruises, click on the Extra Value button with the red star and discover the best price cruises that suit your budget. When bringing holiday greeting cards, we recommend using blank options so you can add personalized messages and specific holiday wishes to each receiver. You'll have to get creative while simultaneously adhering to your ship's rules.
We got a suite each time and the children stayed in our room. Dinner was in the Dining room and it was Elegant night. We have never done Elegant night in the past but I pleaded with my family to at least pack an outfit for Elegant night because I wanted a great Christmas Dinner ( I was hoping for Prime Rib).
It's worth noting that, with the exception of the Steakhouse Selections, all the items on Carnival Cruise Line's Christmas menu are complimentary when enjoyed in the main dining room. Carnival Cruise Line's Christmas dinner menu has festive options for every course, from appetizers to dessert.

They're easy to transport, loved by most and won't break the bank. Matching pajamas for the whole family is a classic favorite holiday tradition. If you're sailing somewhere warm, opt for lightweight sets instead of flannel for increasing your comfort without sacrificing your holiday style. Dessert will include several decadent holiday treats, including eggnog cheesecake with raspberry cremeux, spiced cream, and mint “snow” for extra flair. Bourbon pecan pie and buche de Noel – a chocolate log with coffee anglaise and honey oat crumble – will also be available for even more seasonal sweets.
Wear Christmas or Hanukkah socks to liven up your evening attire or pair with sneakers as you explore the ship. Don't forget to pack Christmas stockings to both liven up your cabin and stuff with small gifts on Christmas morning. As mentioned earlier, you should always use strong magnetic hooks to hang them as many cruise lines are picky about adhesives on their walls.
I used to be a regular attendee but I just didnt care this time around. I guess because I lead a busy life of being a mom with kids in sports and working nights as a nurse, I just wanted to be bored. I enjoyed spending time in the rear pool area reading or watching videos. I didnt want to gamble and just enjoyed relaxing in a quieter atmosphere. We decided that we missed Novi and headed for the Crimson Dining. On this night, the wait staff did a dance for us.
I stayed until they stopped playing music and headed to my cabin. I think I might have gotten some ice cream for a night cap. Carnival holds a special, non-denominational Christmas service either December 24 or 25, depending on the cruise itinerary. This service will feature hymns, prayers and plenty of stories to bring everyone closer together during the holiday season. Don't keep the seasonal cheer to yourself.
Novi convinced my daughter to stand up and dance with her. I cant say enough great things about her. On this night the restaurant was not busy and I got chance to talk with her about her life and how she likes working for Carnival and such. She did extra things for us that promised not to say (extra treats for my kids that should have been charged $$). We all decided that we would definitely come there tomorrow for our last dinner.
My daughter was using a knee scooter because she had surgery on her foot that was in a boot (If you saw her scooting around-that was us!). We got to use the Elevator and go to the special assist line. The silly part was since we booked a suite, we had to do a literal circle around the seats to get back to the suite seating area. Not a big deal unless your foot is killing you from getting squished in the crowded shuttle. This was our first time ever booking a suite. I am in Interior stateroom kinda girl.
I can really feel the ship swaying. I can also see white caps on the ocean. We have a cabin in the middle of the ship. I am not sea sick but I am glad that I am taking Bonine to keep it at bay.
But like I said earlier- I dont blame the servers. They do a great job and try to be as attentive as possible. We settle for something else - I honestly cant remember. It was good because if I didnt like it I would remember that! The baked potatoes to me were not cooked enough..
