CruiserBruce Posted March 16, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Far better to ask this on the Carnival board, here: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/133-carnival-cruise-lines/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted March 16, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I would not plan on enrichment lectures on a long cruise on Carnival, unless it is listed as a Journeys cruise. EM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinqt Posted March 21, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Yes Carnival adds extra events on longer sailings. They call them “Carnival journeys” cruises. They add enrichment lectures on stuff like photography, stargazing, etc. They also have Q&A sessions from various departments (maritime, entertainment, hotel operations) throughout the cruise. They also add on dance classes and will usually have a 50’s dance hop one night. And there will usually be a throwback day where the whole day will a throwback to that time, it’s usually in the 1980’s or 1990’s. The whole ship will be decorated according to that decade, they even have an old timey photo booth setup. Carnival really goes out of their way to make their longer cruises more fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why, I am looking into a long Cunard QM2 World Voyage, or fully around South America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s good to know because I was contemplating some longer sailings with them. On the longer journeys you need extra stuff to make those extra sea days more fun so I’ll probably stick to cruise lines that do more things. Lectures are interesting but I really like the throwback days and dance classes. My favorites were the 1950 throwback day and the 1987 throwback day. It was fun learning the jitterbug and the Charleston too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
