4th of July Cruising

[henrid]

Just booked Conquest June 28 that will have a sea day on July 4. Just wondering if we can expect any special 4th of July activities,fireworks, etc. Anyone have an experience cruising on July 4 with Carnival??

no fireworks, due to fire hazard.

I was on a ncl cruise during 4th of july....all they did was put up a few decorations and have a small little parade with about 10 of the crew....nothing to write home about....

Thanks. Was hoping for a little bit more for the kids that will be in our group.

Make your own celebration. Get a roll call started if there isn't one and chat up something to do. We'll be on the Pride for the 4th. We'll be wearing our red, white and blue!!!

We were on Conquest July 4 in 2005. Since it was a formal night and they had one of the production shows scheduled, the featured performers added a patriotic-themed opening to the show and the CD asked active military and veterans to join him on stage.

 

The next year we were on Legend on July 4, docked in Tortola BVI. They're not exactly into celebrating the Fourth there.;)

QM2 which leaves NYC scheduled a stop in Boston Harbon on July 4th to watch the fireworks.

 

Disney is the only cruiseline allowed to set off fireworks from the ship.

Sailed once over 4th of July & no different than any other day, which especially disappointed me since it is also my wedding anniversay. Possibly had waiters sing God Bless America in the dining room but certainly wasn't memorable if I can't even remember if they did that!

 

Just remembered...we were on the Legend too. In St. Thomas that day (just looked on my shelf of a picture of us in our 4th of July t-shirts)...no celebration there either.
