Are you booked on a Carnival cruise near the holidays in 2024 and wondering when your ship will be decorated for Christmas? Perhaps you’re sailing in late November or early December and hoping to get that perfect Christmas card photo while onboard?
Here’s when each Carnival ship will be decorated for Christmas in 2024.
***NOTE: After this list was published by Carnival, John Heald (Carnival’s Brand Ambassador) announced that due to passenger complaints, some of the December dates may be revised to be earlier. I’ll publish any changes as soon as they’re announced, so be sure to check back.***

And with that…
Class Dismissed!
I ALWAYS buy travel insurance (especially during these uncertain times) to cover my cruises, but I NEVER purchase it through Carnival. It costs more and usually covers less than policies you purchase on your own. I go through sites like travelinsurance.com to compare plans and prices and get the best deal for the coverage I want. Spend less on insurance and spend more on excursions, special onboard cruise experiences and…future cruises!
Homework (10 points): Have you ever cruised near or over the Christmas holiday (we do it every year!)? Share your experience to the comments!
