What is the Carnival FunTimes? It is the daily guide to ship activities. Delivered to staterooms each evening, the FunTimes (also available on the Carnival HUB App) details the next day's schedule. This includes dining hours, venue locations, and the entertainment lineup. The newsletter also provides information on port arrivals, departures, special offers, and other details.

For those planning a Carnival cruise, having a sense of the onboard schedule can be helpful. Here is a collection of the daily FunTimes newsletters from a recent cruise (8/2025).

For years, cruise enthusiasts have whispered about a curious tradition onboard Carnival ships: the presence of hidden coins. While not truly "hidden" in the sense of a secret treasure hunt, these coins are often placed in less obvious locations on the ships, sometimes even sealed in boxes near key structures like the radio mast.

One of the ways I save money while planning a cruise is stacking savings with Rakuten and CardCash!
