“Dive-In Movies” on Carnival are one of the things I love most about the line. So if you’re booked on a Carnival cruise soon, be sure to grab a bag of popcorn (note there is a $4 charge for popcorn), some buffet desserts, and a cocktail, pull up a lounger, and enjoy a flick at sea! Here are the movies that will be shown on Carnival cruises for the last week of November and December 2023. To see when specific movies are playing on your sailing, check your daily printed Fun Times schedule or the Carnival HUB app. Note that not every movie will be shown on every sailing.
