Carnival Theme Nights 2024: Schedule for Every Ship!

August 1, 2024

Carnival offers some of the most entertaining themed nights and parties at sea .

Since most theme nights require specific attire , many passengers like to know the schedule in advance.

Therefore, I’ve made this article with a description of them and the complete schedule for all ships for 2024 .

’70s ’80s or ’90s Night

On almost every Carnival Cruise there’s a decade-themed night that celebrates the music, culture, and fashion of the ’70s, ’80s, or ’90s .

You can expect to hear hit songs from each era and have fun while dancing to them.

What to wear? It depends on the decade but generally:

For the ’70s : bell-bottom jeans, psychedelic or floral shirts and dresses, platform shoes. Think disco glam with lots of sparkles.

For the ’80s : bright neon shirts or skirts, off-the-shoulder tops, parachute pants, bandanas, leg warmers, and headbands.

On many ships the the ’80s night is called ’80s Rock n Glow Night, remember to bring with you some neon pieces of clothing.

For the ’90s : grunge or hip-hop-inspired looks with baggy jeans, plaid mini skirts, band T-shirts, flannel shirts, and snapback caps.

• White Night

White Night is one of the most famous on Carnival ships, it can be found on almost every ship and it is very easy to dress up in theme.

My advice is: open your closet and pick every white piece of clothing that you have , it’s as simple as that.

For its total white look, a man can wear white dress shirts, pants, and shoes. For a more chic version, a white blazer over a light-colored shirt can also work well.

Women can opt for white dresses, ranging from elegant gowns to casual summer dresses. For the accessories pearl jewelry and white clutches are just perfect.

Elegant Night

One of the cruise’s highlights, Elegant Night invites guests to dress in their most formal attire. I have to say that, as time goes by, formal nights become less and less popular.

I personally still like to dress up for a few evenings on a cruise. There is no need to overdo it!

Men can wear tuxedos or dark suits , with ties or bow ties if they like it.

Women can wear evening gowns or cocktail dresses , paired with shiny jewels and evening clutches.

• Island Night

On some cruises, there can be an Island Night . The idea is to capture the spirit of tropical heavens with Caribbean music, island-inspired cocktails, and activities that celebrate beach life.

The dress code for all includes bright floral shirts or dresses featuring palm leaf, floral, or other bright prints .

It’s basically the Carnival version of the Caribbean Night that you can find among the Royal Caribbean Theme Nights 2024 .

• Motown Party

The Motown Party it’s a night dedicated to the sounds of Motown, with soulful music, classic hits, and an atmosphere that will bring you back to the golden age of rhythm and blues.

As far as I know, there’s no actual dress code for this party. To stay on topic you can opt for a ’50s or ’60s outfit .

Vintage suits, fedoras, and polished dress shoes for men. A-line dresses, sequined tops, and flared skirts for women.

6 thoughts on “Carnival Theme Nights 2024: Schedule for Every Ship!”

Will all the party’s listed happen on every cruise? Do I need to bring outfits for all then find out when I board which ones they will have or is there a way to find out beforehand so I don’t overpack?

Hello Selena, unfortunately the parties can change very often during the year so there is never 100% certainty about which ones there will be. My advice is to bring clothes that can adapt well to the different parties, but that you can also wear normally during your cruise.

What is serenity night on the magic?

as far as I know it should be a deck party at serenity, which is an adults-only area for guests ages 21 and over.

Our cruise is at the beginning of October and I heard there will be a Halloween party. Is that true? And does it take the place of another one of the parties?

• Not permitted in the dining room : Cut-off jeans, men’s sleeveless shirts, shorts, t-shirts, sportswear, baseball hats, thongs (flip-flops) and bathing suit attire.

The length of the cruise determines the number of Cruise Elegant evenings in the Dining Room. The first Cruise Elegant evening is scheduled for the 3rd or 4th day of the cruise; the second Cruise Elegant evening is scheduled for the 4th or 5th day prior to the end of the cruise, schedules permitting.

• 3-5 Day cruise : one Cruise Elegant evening.

Carnival Theme Parties 2024

by Prof. Cruise · Published May 25, 2023 · Updated August 28, 2024

*This list was updated on 8/28/2024 and reflects the most current schedule of parties.*

Are carnival cruises just giant parties.

I have a reputation for being cheap and nerdy and Carnival has a reputation for offering cruises with a wild, party atmosphere. So is either actually true?

Yes and partly. You’ll likely find me doing one of two things on a cruise. First, gorging on complimentary food and calculating how much the same meal would cost me on land in my home city of Seattle (sometimes I actually cheer when I determine I’ve reached the break even point on my cruise fare). And second, reading, walking while listening to an audiobook, or looking for wildlife on an outside deck. Cheap. Nerdy.

As for Carnival, it has somewhat embraced its reputation as the party cruise line by referring to vessels as “fun ships,” calling the daily onboard schedule of events the “Fun Times,” with its “Funderstruck” marketing campaign, and by offering onboard theme parties.

Know though that your experience on Carnival will vary depending on the specific ship, itinerary, and time of year. I once sailed with my toddler on a spring break Carnival cruise so wild I had to have the sex talk with him a decade earlier than planned. But I’ve also sailed on many Carnival cruises that have felt more peaceful and subdued (look for longer sailings and dates when school is in session). Regardless of which ship, itinerary, or time of year you sail though, you’ll find your fellow Carnival cruisers among the friendliest at sea and your ship will offer several onboard theme parties for those who like to dress up, let loose, dance, and have a good time.

While I nearly always sleep through them (see, nerd), you should definitely check out these parties if interested! So…

What are Theme Parties on Carnival Cruises?

Usually (but not always, so check your Fun Times schedule of events for the location) held in the evening near the main lido pool or in the atrium, theme parties are short (typically lasting around 30-45 minutes) and energetic gatherings led by the cruise director and Fun Squad with music and dancing consistent with a particular theme. Guests are encouraged to dress in accordance with the theme, but it’s not required. (Everything I own is from the 90’s, so I just show up to that party in my regular gear only to feel low-key offended when I hear: “Nailed it!”)

Themes include decades parties from the 70’s through the 90’s, Mega Deck where you can wear blue or red, White Hot where you can dress in white and dance amidst black lights, 80’s Rock and Glow where the Fun Squad will pass around glow sticks, Motown, Mardi Gras (sometimes including a parade), port-themed parties featuring Hawaiian or Alaskan themes, and Backyard Bash featuring country music and line dancing. Relatively new to Carnival are “silent” parties where music is played through provided headphones.

Which Theme Parties will be on my Carnival Cruise?

Here’s the schedule of planned theme parties by Carnival ship for 2024 (source: John Heald, Carnival’s Brand Ambassador). Keep in mind that these parties are at the discretion of the cruise director, so always double check your schedule once onboard.

Carnival Theme Parties & Nights Schedule 2024 for All Ships

When you step onto a Carnival cruise ship , you’re not just starting a vacation, you’re entering a world of fun, parties, and themed events that will make your friends jealous.  

How can you make sure you pack the right outfits for these events if you don’t know what’s coming? Carnival Cruise Line ambassador John Heald has shared a list of Carnival Cruise Theme Parties happening on each ship in the Carnival fleet in 2024 . 

Let’s explore the Carnival Theme Parties 2024 for a better cruise experience. 

Table of Contents

What Are Carnival Theme Parties on Carnival Cruises?  

Carnival Cruise Line arranges short, lively events called Carnival theme parties that are led by the Carnival Cruise director and staff, lasting 30 to 50 minutes. Carnival Cruise theme parties are held at different locations, such as the main pool deck or atrium, usually in the evenings.  

Guests can dress up according to the Carnival Cruise theme party, which can be based on decades (70’s, 80’s, 90’s), colors (with blue or red outfits) like the Mega Deck Party and White-Hot Parties where all guests dress in white and dance under black lights. 

Other Carnival theme parties include 80’s Rock-N-Glow, Motown, Hawaiian Tiki Party, and Backyard Bash with country music and line dancing. Silent Night parties where guests use headphones to listen to music. 

These Carnival Cruise theme nights create a fun and interactive atmosphere with dancing, music, and props like glow sticks. The variety of themes and the chance to dress up make these events memorable on a Carnival cruise. 

Here is the short detail of some of the Carnival Cruise Party Themes 2024:

’70s ’80s or ’90s Night Party  

Carnival Cruises often feature a fun night dedicated to celebrating a specific decade – usually the ’70s, ’80s, or ’90s. These events are all about enjoying the music, style, and vibe of that era. 

• For a ’70s night You might wear flared pants, shiny shirts, or flowery dresses. Platform shoes and sparkly outfits are perfect for getting into the groovy mood. 
• An ’80s party is all about bold colors and wild styles. Neon clothes, big hair, leg warmers, and off-the-shoulder tops capture the essence of this flashy decade. 
• For a ’90s bash, you could go for a grunge look with plaid and ripped jeans or try a hip-hop style with baggy clothes and baseball caps worn backwards. 

No matter which decade is featured, you’ll hear popular songs from that time period. It’s a great chance to dance, have fun, and maybe even show off some old-school moves! 

These Carnival theme nights are a popular part of many Carnivals Cruises. They give passengers a chance to dress up, get silly, and enjoy a blast from the past together. 

White Night Party  

Carnival White Night Party is a popular theme party on many Carnival cruise ships. It’s easy for guests to participate because the dress code is simple – wear white clothes. 

For men, options include: 

• White shirts and pants 
• White shoes 
• A white jacket over a light-colored shirt for a fancier look 

For women, choices could be: 

• White dresses (fancy or casual) 
• White outfits (like white pants and tops) 
• White accessories like pearl jewelry or a white handbag 

The idea is to create an all-white look using clothes you already own. The event creates a striking visual effect when all the passengers are dressed in white. 

• Motown Party  

A Carnival Motown Party celebrates the iconic music of the 1960s Detroit record label. Guests can enjoy soulful tunes and classic hits that defined an era. There’s no strict dress code for Motown Party Carnival, partygoers can wear ‘50s and ’60s dresses to enhance the retro vibe. 

Carnival Motown Party Outfits for men include vintage-inspired looks might include sharp suits, fedoras, and polished shoes. Motown Party attire for Women include A-line dresses, sparkly tops, or flared skirts to channel with that era. The goal is to capture the stylish and energetic spirit of Motown’s heyday.
