Want To Find Your Cruise Director On Social Media? I have started compiling a list of public Facebook or Instagram pages some of the cruise directors have to connect with guests. Click Here To View Cruise Director Social Media Pages
Does the schedule change?
The schedule can change at any point in time. For this reason, I do not recommend booking a cruise solely to have a certain cruise director because I do not want you to be disappointed if the schedule changes. I do understand that having a well liked cruise director is a great reason to want a certain cruise, but just realize things could change with the schedule. You may show up to the cruise ship on embarkation day and find a completely different person as cruise director than the schedule reflects. Sometimes last minute changes may be made.
What if my ship has a TBA cruise director?
This most likely means that Carnival has not finalized who will be on your cruise at a particular date. Generally, the TBAs are filled in advance of a cruise leaving. Even if for some reason your cruise didn't have a true cruise director someone onboard would probably act as the cruise director which would mean no visible impact would be seen by guests. In some cases Carnival shows a TBA as a blank space in the schedule.
How far out does the schedule go?
Since Carnival's schedule is updated frequently this could change. Generally for most ships, the planned cruise director up until late 2023 or early 2024. If you are looking back for 2024 cruise director information I recommend checking back in the upcoming months. Just keep checking back is my recommendation!
What does it mean when my ship has dates that look like two cruise directors are onboard?
Typically this means your Carnival Cruise ship is about to change cruise directors. Sometimes Carnival will send the next cruise director onto the ship a little early so they can learn the ropes and plan. You may get some entertainment from both cruise directors in this case, but typically the cruise director that has already been on the ship will be the main presence. It could vary!
Which Carnival ships does the cruise director schedule cover?
The Carnival Cruise Director schedule covers all Carnival ships. This includes the Carnival Elation, Carnival Paradise, Carnival Sunshine, Carnival Sunrise, Carnival Radiance, Carnival Spirit, Carnival Pride, Carnival Legend, Carnival Miracle, Carnival Luminosa, Carnival Conquest, Carnival Glory, Carnival Valor, Carnival Liberty, Carnival Freedom, Carnival Splendor, Carnival Dream, Carnival Magic, Carnival Breeze, Carnival Vista, Carnival Horizon, Carnival Panorama, Carnival Venezia, Mardi Gras, Carnival Celebration. and Carnival Jubilee. The Carnival Firenze's cruise director is not yet announced as the ship is scheduled to join Carnival's fleet in 2024.
Is there an entertainment director schedule for Carnival Cruise ships?
The entertainment director onboard is usually mostly behind the scenes. There used to be an entertainment director schedule, but Carnival does not publish this schedule anymore.

Reviews for "Indulge in the Ultimate Relaxation and Entertainment on the Carnival Magic in May 2023"
1. Alice - 1 star:
I was extremely disappointed with the May 2023 Carnival Magic schedule. The variety of activities and events was incredibly limited and dull. There were barely any exciting shows or performances, and the few that were available were lackluster. The food options were mediocre at best, with repetitive menus and underwhelming flavors. Overall, I felt like I wasted my money on a cruise that promised fun and excitement but failed to deliver.
2. John - 2 stars:
The May 2023 Carnival Magic schedule was a letdown for me. The entertainment options were minimal, and the quality of the shows was subpar. I had high expectations for thrilling performances and engaging activities, but I was left feeling bored and uninterested. Additionally, the onboard amenities and facilities were outdated and in need of renovation. It was unfortunate to see such a lack of effort put into providing an enjoyable experience for passengers.
3. Sarah - 1 star:
I strongly disliked the May 2023 Carnival Magic schedule. The ship felt overcrowded, and it was challenging to find a peaceful spot to relax. The noise levels were unbearable at times, and the constant announcements over the speakers were annoying. Moreover, the organization of events and activities was chaotic, with long lines and wait times. The lack of adequate staff and attention to detail made for a frustrating and unsatisfying cruise.
4. David - 2 stars:
I wasn't impressed with the May 2023 Carnival Magic schedule. The planned excursions and ports of call were uninspiring, and I didn't feel like I got to experience anything truly unique or memorable. The onboard dining options were disappointing, with limited choices and mediocre quality. The cruise lacked the wow factor I was hoping for, and I left feeling underwhelmed and unfulfilled.
