Holiday Decorating on Carnival Cruise Line

Cruising during the holidays is a favorite for many cruisers. No decorating, no cooking, no clean up, no stress. 

Carnival Cruise Line Brand Ambassador John Heald announced the 2023 holiday decorating schedule for each ship in the cruise line’s fleet. Heald said, “Hello everyone and Happy Christmas…I wanted to share the Christmas decorating schedule with you as our professional decoratists deck the decks with holly, ivy and of course the big tree.”

The decorating will begin the day after Thanksgiving beginning with:

  • Carnival Conquest and Carnival Radiance on November 24
  • Carnival Breeze, Carnival Horizon, Mardi Gras, Carnival Miracle and Carnival Spirit on November 25
  • Carnival Celebration, Carnival Dream, Carnival Glory, Carnival Panorama and Carnival Vista on November 26
  • Carnival Elation, Carnival Liberty, Carnival Sunrise and Carnival Valor on November 27, and
  • Carnival Venezia on November 30

Having their halls decked in December are:

  • Carnival Magic and Carnival Paradise on December 2
  • Carnival Legend, Carnival Luminosa and Carnival Pride on December 3, and
  • Carnival Freedom, Carnival Splendor, and Carnival Sunshine on December 4

Of course, we can not forget about the newest Carnival ship set to debut out of Galveston, Carnival Jubilee. She will be decorated before her inaugural voyage on December 23, 2023, which means her very first guests will see her all decked out for the holidays.
