4ready2cruz Posted April 13, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Does anyone know if Carnival does anything special onboard for the July 4th holiday? I am guessing no fireworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-train Posted April 13, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Does anyone know if Carnival does anything special onboard for the July 4th holiday? I am guessing no fireworks. We were on board last year on July 4th, no fireworks... But there was a designated time for a short celebration in the atrium, with a balloon drop that was fun. There was also a deck party on Lido that was alot of fun. Streamers exploded over everyone, fun music, dancing, etc... Didn't miss the fireworks too much...we were on a cruise!

maldenmusic Posted April 13, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Not sure where you are cruising but a few years ago, as we cruised down the Mississippi River out of NOLA, there were lots of fireworks on the river banks. Some looked like organized shows by towns and others were families and individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagabond Knight Posted April 13, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 13, 2016 We were on the Carnival Spirit over the 4th in 2011 and were very disappointed in the lack of celebration. Asked a Carnival employee about it and they replied (paraphrased) that there are people from many other countries other than the U.S. on the ship and so they're not going to do a lot of hoopla for a U.S.-only holiday.

TheTravelista Posted April 13, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Over the last couple of years they've started doing deck parties with special midnight buffets for the 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew This sounds good. I'll be on the Sunshine departing NYC 7/4 . What's better than sailing past lady liberty from the Lido deck on the 4th of July ?

uprivermama Posted April 14, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 14, 2016 We sailed away on 7/4 last year on the Breeze out of Miami. It was still daylight so I don't recall seeing any fireworks or anything, but we had a really fun sailaway party on the lido deck. The entertainment staff handed out red, white and blue party favors and everyone was getting into it and having a great time. I would bet sailing out of New York would be a fantastic way to celebrate the 4th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
