The debarkation presentation - does it still exist on Carnival?

[Honolulu Blue]

While I wait for my next Carnival cruise, I thought about this.  The debarkation presentation on Carnival, for those that don't know, involves going to a presentation in the theater - usually 10 AM to noon on the final day - and learning about how to depart the ship the next morning.  They explained the ins and outs of getting off the ship - including what self-disembarks are supposed to do, when each deck would be called, what to do if you're in a special group and receive special instructions, what to do with immigrations and customers, when and where breakfast would be served, and other little and not-so-little things.  They also did a thank you to the passengers and showed off a good portion of the crew.  And they also mentioned the events that would happen the rest of the day.  It was a Very Big Deal, to the point that it was sometimes said to be MANDATORY for at least one person per cruising party to attend (though I never saw or heard any enforcement of this).  These presentations always drew an impressive crowd.

 

Here are some photos I took during the last presentation I witnessed on the Breeze in January 2020.  I apologize in advance for the iffy quality:

 

 

 

 

I've noticed is that none of the other ships on the other cruise lines I've sailed with since the pandemic have done this.  They just give us the instructions and tags and tell us contact Guest Services (or whatever they call it) if they screwed up anything.

 

So, I was wondering if Carnival still does this and what form it takes now.  I haven't noticed anyone mention them in the few trip reports I've seen.  Thank you in advance for your perspectives on this.

Yes, it takes around a half hour total.  First the cruise director reminds you to purchase bingo cards, go to Cherry On Top to get your candy, go to the shops to get your last minute deals, etc. etc.  Then he/she will give the debarkation talk.  Most of it is the same on every cruise, but there are a few important tidbits unique to how they're doing tings (which staircase to go down, etc.).

Thanks for the reminder; I had forgotten that they did this.  And thanks for the note on current events.

Thanks, everyone, for your valuable input.  I guess this is something I will look forward to seeing when I get onboard my next Carnival cruise.
