Funtastic Thanksgiving Cruises
THANKSGIVING FUN… AND SO MUCH MORE
Funtastic Thanksgiving cruises also include all the fun of a typical Carnival cruise.
Dining
Delight the foodie within, with delicious food options all over the ship:
- You could eat three amazing meals a day — plus snacks and more — without paying extra! Great stuff too, from casual munching spots to sit-down dining room meals featuring great dishes designed by Emeril.
- Your ship may even have specialty restaurants like the steakhouse, Cucina del Capitano® with its family-style Italian, Guy Fieri’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse/Brewhouse featuring BBQs and brews, or a Creole bistro by Emeril Lagasse!
- Find our chefs showing off a little — from comfort food to exotic delicacies, get ready to discover new favorites, always fresh.
- We accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions and preferences, including an entire vegan dining room menu. Plus kids’ menus are ready to please even the pickiest little palates.
- Any hour of the day — all 24 of ‘em — is the best time to enjoy room service, plus soft-serve and pizza are available late into the night.
Entertainment
Your to-do list never looked this good:
- Enjoy a high-energy stage show spectacular featuring singers, dancers and tunes you love.
- Move to the beat of live music performances, plus DJs spinning in locations around the ship.
- Show what you know — themed trivia’s going down, so start getting warmed up.
- If live-’n-lively music is your thing, hit the piano bar for fun sing-alongs.
- There’s something funny about our onboard comedy club, which features laugh-out-loud performances, some just for adults and some for everyone.
- Gather at the club, grab a drink and party till late, all to the beat of the latest tunes and classics.
Outdoor Activities
There’s fun in the sun for everyone:
- Splash into pools, go for a swim… and don’t forget the poolside bars.
- Adults have their own place to relax away from all the action and the… well, kids: it’s Serenity Adult-Only Retreat™!
- There are plenty of ways to play — and what’s more, win — with outdoor sports activities like mini-golf.
- Pack your running shoes — there’s a jogging track with an ocean view and a breeze!
Kids & Teens
Relax knowing they're having just as much fun:
- Carnival cruises feature supervised youth activities all day long, clubs where they can hang out and make new friends.
- There are four separate youth programs: Camp Ocean® for ages 2-11, Circle “C®” for 12-14 and Club O2® for 15-17… plus now there’s Turtles® for the under-2s!
- Whatever kind of fun they're into — games, movies, music, karaoke and more — we've got it.
- Keep them in good hands while you enjoy evening entertainment, with available babysitting service. (For ages 11 and under.)
Staterooms
It’s your home away from home… plus a little more:
- Open the door and you’ll find soft, comfy linens, plus a full private bathroom with shower. Ahh, the comforts of home!
- You’ve got a stateroom attendant, ready to take care of your needs.
- Room service is always on the menu, 24 hours a day (and night!). Delivery is just a quick call away.
- Some rooms come with a view, some with balconies… and some even have a connecting door or extra half-bathroom!
Exotic Destinations
There’s Carnival-style fun waiting at every port:
- For your Thanksgiving cruise, choose from the tropical Caribbean islands, The Bahamas and its crystal-clear waters, or culture-packed Mexico.
- Wake up in a new port each morning — it’s like taking multiple vacations in one trip!
- Find great activities ashore like snorkeling, parasailing or swimming with dolphins.
- Taking it slow is always an option, too — think sunning on the beach, catamaran cruising or swaying hammocks in the shade.
