Carnival Theme Parties 2023
I have a reputation for being cheap and nerdy and Carnival has a reputation for offering cruises with a wild, party atmosphere. So is either actually true?
Yes and partly. You’ll likely find me doing one of two things on a cruise. First, gorging on complimentary food and calculating how much the same meal would cost me on land in my home city of Seattle (sometimes I actually cheer when I determine I’ve reached the break even point on my cruise fare). And second, reading, walking while listening to an audiobook, or looking for wildlife on an outside deck. Cheap. Nerdy.
As for Carnival, it has somewhat embraced its reputation as the party cruise line by referring to vessels as “fun ships,” calling the daily onboard schedule of events the “Fun Times,” with its “Funderstruck” marketing campaign, and by offering onboard theme parties.
Know though that your experience on Carnival will vary depending on the specific ship, itinerary, and time of year. I once sailed with my toddler on a spring break Carnival cruise so wild I had to have the sex talk with him a decade earlier than planned. But I’ve also sailed on many Carnival cruises that have felt more peaceful and subdued (look for longer sailings and dates when school is in session). Regardless of which ship, itinerary, or time of year you sail though, you’ll find your fellow Carnival cruisers among the friendliest at sea and your ship will offer several onboard theme parties for those who like to dress up, let loose, dance, and have a good time.
While I nearly always sleep through them (see, nerd), you should definitely check out these parties if interested! So…

Reviews for "Kids Have All the Fun: Carnival Magic's Youth Programs and Activities"
- Jane Doe - 2/5 - The amusements on Carnival Magic were a huge disappointment for me. The main reason being that there weren't many options to choose from. I expected a wide range of rides and games, but it felt like there were only a handful of activities available. Additionally, the lines for the few popular rides were ridiculously long, making it difficult to even enjoy them. Overall, the lack of variety and the excessive waiting times made this experience far from enjoyable.
- John Smith - 3/5 - The carnival amusements on the Carnival Magic were average at best. While there were a decent number of options to choose from, they didn't really stand out in terms of excitement or thrill. The rides felt safe and tame, lacking that adrenaline rush I was hoping for. Furthermore, the staff operating the rides didn't seem particularly enthusiastic or engaging. It felt like they were just going through the motions rather than creating a fun atmosphere. Overall, the amusements on this cruise ship were okay, but definitely not worth getting overly excited about.
- Mary Johnson - 2/5 - I was expecting a lot more from the amusements on the Carnival Magic, but unfortunately, they fell short of my expectations. The rides were outdated and in need of maintenance, which made me question their safety. The variety of activities was also lacking, leaving little to do for those not interested in the few available options. Additionally, the wait times for the popular rides were excessive, cutting into precious vacation time. Overall, I was disappointed with the amusements on this cruise ship.
