4 of July on a sea day?

[RogBus101]

Hey everyone,we have been on 13 cruises all on carnival but one. This year we are sailing the week of July 4th. Have never been at sea on July the 4th .what do they do to celebrate the 4th on a sea day? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hmm....

Since its a Bahamian registered ship, with mostly Italian senior staff (captain and officers) with an international crew and international clientele, why should they do something special? :rolleyes:

I've been on a number of Carnival cruises over July 4. Several of them were spent in current or former British territories, even....;) Tortola, Saint John Canada, and Grand Turk.

 

The last few years, Carnival has been ramping up their July 4 activities. There have been July 4 themed trivia contests, late-night buffets, entertainment, etc.

 

Last year we spent July 4 with a sea day on a Baltic cruise. Given the location, there wasn't much in the way of a celebration - but a number of Americans were dressed in red white and blue.:cool:

Because their paying guests are mostly Americans who want to celebrate the occasion. Not only should they do something special, but they will.

We sailed the first week of July on a different cruise line and they did a little something for both 4th of July and Canada Day.

 

For the 4th they decorated the buffet with flags and stuff and included American pie and other sorts of typical foods. Also the children club had a parade where they make banners and painted their faces. They all sang Yankee Doodle and a few other songs. There may have been a mention in the daily times as well as a themed event somewhere on deck(can't remember-sorry)

It was posted that every ship in the fleet, with the exception of the Spirit, celebrated the 4th of July in one manner or the other. Just not here.

Just off the DREAM and it was a fabulous 4th! Besides all the USA trivia during the day, the DREAM had the large flag in atrium, the traditional 4th games on the Lido, as well as recognition of the day and all active and retired military people during nightly show. We had a huge deck party starting with National Anthem. Also there were lots of Fireworks on big scren with dancing till late. During party red, white, and blue streamers, whistles, fans, glasses, and flags were thrown. People really dressed up with colors of the flag. Best themed 4 th we have ever had !!
