Fireworks on The 4th

[htkodiak]

Do Carnival ships have fireworks on the 4th ? We will be sailing on the Glory for the July 2nd trip out of Port Canaveral.This will be our first summertime cruise,we usually sail in the fall or spring.

I was on the Fantasy out of Port Canaveral on the 4th one year and there were not fireworks.

Yeah, I was interested too. We leave on the 3rd and we are on the Valor, decorated in the whole Americana theme. You would think they would do something.:rolleyes:

We were on the Victory from the 3rd to the 7th and they said they don't do fireworks. But they sais usaully dry close to land to watch the fireworks like the QM2 does. But it was so foggy on our cruise that we couldn't see the fireworks.

No fireworks on Carnival. Not even flaming Baked Alaska. Carnival has had too many real fires on board.

I guess it makes sense that there isn't "fire"works onboard. I dunno..... maybe they could play some "4th of July" songs or something to designate the holiday.

We were on the Spirit on the 4th of July, they stayed longer at a port so we could see the fireworks, at the jewerly store on ship if you wore red white or blue you got in for a drawing of some sort and all the waiters sang God Bless America. Since it was Alaska they did serve baked Alaska and even gave out a glass of free champagne not sure what they do on the warmer cruises

We usually go every 4th of July week and there have been no fireworks since 9/11.:(

There were no fireworks on our cruise PRE 9/11. Isn't there something about fireworks at sea being a distress signal (or is that just a "Titanic" story?). We have been on two cruises over the 4th, and no fireworks. The first cruise (on Carnival) had virtuaally no recognition of the holiday. Two years ago on Celebrity, though, the ship was decorated, the children's program put on a parade, and after that the ship's captain blew the horn for quite a long time - that sounds corny, but actually it was kind of moving.

Thanks for the info.We will be in key west on the 3rd of july,maybe they will stay close to shore to see the fireworks there.

We're going to be at sea on the 4th. Anyone know what they do "special" when you can't see fireworks in a nearby port etc.?? Not a biggie, just wondering:rolleyes:
