Key Aspects:
- Carnival Cruise Line has confirmed the updated list of parties and events onboard every ship in the fleet.
- All ships will feature the signature 80s Rock-N-Glow party and its totally rad, day-glo vibes.
- Exact events will vary on different ships and sailings based on cruise length and available space.
Carnival cruisers are generally a lively crowd, enjoying music, dancing, and fun.
The cruise line leans into that vibe with multiple parties onboard, with every ship in the fleet having at least 1-2 signature events during even the shortest sailings.

Some events change seasonally as ships shift to new homeport regions. It does not make sense, for example, to offer a “Tropical Nights” party for ships sailing in Alaskan waters.
Some events are also only offered on longer sailings when there is more time to schedule parties.
Now, the cruise line has updated the event schedule for the winter season (or in Australia, the summer season), and guests will be thrilled to enjoy the most popular event, the 80s Rock-N-Glow party, on every single ship on every single sailing.
So pack the leg warmers, day-glo, and shoulder pads to strut your 80s vibe, but don’t miss out on these other parties across the Carnival fleet as well:

While these are the planned events for all Carnival ships, schedules can vary from sailing to sailing depending on different factors.
It can be difficult to have multiple deck parties if the weather is poor, for example. Similarly, if space may not be available due to group events, some parties might be relocated or cancelled.
The most updated event schedule will be in the Carnival Hub app when guests board their cruise ship. Events are also printed in the FunTimes newsletter, and will often be announced by the cruise director each day.
Parties May Not Be for Everyone
While these signature events are popular onboard Carnival ships, no one is ever forced to join in if they aren’t interested.
Furthermore, there is no established dress code, dance move, or other qualification to participate in different parties.

Want to be part of the White Hot Party but don’t pack along white clothes on a cruise? No worries, just go ahead and have a good time! Don’t fit into your 80s leggings anymore? That’s okay, you can show off your moves all the same.
All these events are free and open to all ages, so everyone can enjoy the fun onboard, no matter how they prefer to party.
