Mother's Day with Carnival

[cruise_gal21]

So, what exactly does Carnival do for Mother's Day? This is our 2nd cruise and first over a holiday. It'll be embarkation day for us on the Fantasy, so if anyone has sailed over Mother's Day I'd appreciate some feedback. Thanks!

I would be surprised if they did anything. Mother's Day is not the same day in other countries and isn't a holiday so not sure what you would expect to be done!

You are right it just a normal cruise, no extras. I've been on one.

I think all they did was give out a special desert to all the women on board with something that said happy mothers day written on it. I know my mom loved it and made her feel special.

Carnival gives mothers a rose and a special dessert for Mother's Day.

Anything special in the Steakhouse? We sail on Mother's Day as well and have reservations in the Steakhouse on the Dream for that night.

We were on the Breeze last year during Mother's Day and in the MDR I received a special dessert and flower. I think our room steward might have done something special but, I can't remember.

Talk about a sore subject. We booked a cruise one year on a day we didn't know was American Mothers Day. *yes, Mothers Day in Europe is celebrated on a different day.

 

In any case, no mention of the day was ever made.

A carnation and a dessert that says "Mom".

I'm not counting on anything....but it would be sweet since I will be traveling with my mom and my mother-in-law!!!!

I mostly asked because it was mentioned on JH's FB a few weeks back that they now had a larger budget for the holidays they celebrated, of which Mother's Day was listed. I'm not sure why some don't consider it a holiday, it is on most all American calendars and celebrated through many households. I was just merely curious as to what Carnival did on past cruises since I myself didn't think much about it until then.

Thank you all for the info. This is a very nice gesture from a cruise line that isn't obligated to do anything, but knows how special this day is to many ppl.
