Carnival Celebration Nightclub Schedule

- Celebration Key: ’90s & 2000s Night – 11:00 PM to 1:00 AM
The schedule provides a good example of how Carnival changes the music theme from night to night rather than offering exactly the same nightclub experience throughout the cruise.
Miami – Dance, House & Pop Hits
The nightclub schedule begins in Miami with Dance, House & Pop Hits.
This party is scheduled from 11:00 PM until 2:00 AM, combining several mainstream nightclub music styles for the first night of the cruise.
Nassau – Caribbean & Afrobeats
On the Nassau day, the nightclub switches to Caribbean & Afrobeats.
The party runs from 11:00 PM until 2:00 AM. Of all the themes listed during this itinerary, this one has one of the clearest connections to the cruise’s Caribbean setting.
Fun Day at Sea – ’70s & ’80s Night
The first Fun Day at Sea features a dedicated ’70s & ’80s Night.
It is scheduled from 11:00 PM until 2:00 AM, giving passengers a full three-hour late-night party centered around music from the two decades.
Amber Cove – Pop Hits Night
After the ship’s visit to Amber Cove, the theme becomes Pop Hits Night.
This event is also scheduled from 11:00 PM until 2:00 AM.
Rather than focusing on a particular decade or regional music style, this is the straightforward pop-themed night on the schedule.
Fun Day at Sea – R&B and Soul
The second Fun Day at Sea brings another change in music with R&B and Soul.
The scheduled hours are once again 11:00 PM until 2:00 AM.
This gives passengers interested in R&B and soul their own dedicated night rather than mixing those genres into one of the broader pop parties.
RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay – Latin Night
The nightclub schedule lists Latin Night for the RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay portion of the itinerary.
Latin Night runs from 11:00 PM until 2:00 AM.
It is another example of the variety built into the nightclub schedule, following nights dedicated to pop, Afrobeats, older hits and R&B.
Celebration Key – ’90s & 2000s Night
The final theme shown on the schedule is ’90s & 2000s Night on the Celebration Key day.
It runs from 11:00 PM until 1:00 AM, making it the only nightclub event on this particular schedule shown ending at 1:00 AM rather than 2:00 AM.
For passengers who grew up with music from the 1990s and 2000s, this could be one of the more appealing themed nights of the sailing.
What Time Does the Carnival Celebration Nightclub Start?
Every nightclub event shown on this schedule begins at 11:00 PM.
Most run until 2:00 AM, giving passengers three hours of scheduled nightclub entertainment. The exception is the ’90s & 2000s Night associated with Celebration Key, which is listed from 11:00 PM until 1:00 AM.
Passengers should always check the current Carnival HUB app or daily program during their own cruise, since entertainment schedules can change between sailings.
Carnival Nightclub Dress Rules
The nightclub schedule includes an important dress-code note at the bottom:
“Sheer or fishnet attire is not permitted. Fans are also prohibited.”
If you’re planning to attend one of the nightclub events, this is worth knowing before choosing what to wear or bringing accessories with you.
The restriction is printed directly on Carnival’s nightclub schedule, so passengers should take it into account when preparing for the evening.
A Different Nightclub Theme Each Night
One of the more interesting parts of this Carnival Celebration schedule is the amount of musical variety offered over a single cruise.
The seven listed themes include:
- Dance, house and pop
- Caribbean and Afrobeats
- ’70s and ’80s
- Pop hits
- R&B and soul
- Latin music
- ’90s and 2000s
That variety gives passengers the ability to choose the nights that best match their music preferences rather than assuming every evening will feature the same type of nightclub music.
For passengers who enjoy late-night entertainment, checking the nightclub schedule early in the cruise can make it easier to identify the nights they don’t want to miss.
