Carnival Celebration Circle C Teen Club Ages 12-14: Activities, Hours & Daily Schedule
Carnival Celebration offers several dedicated spaces and programs for younger cruisers, and Circle “C” is designed specifically for guests ages 12 to 14. The Carnival HUB App screenshots from this sailing provide a useful look at the club itself, its location aboard the ship, operating hours, and examples of the activities offered throughout the cruise.
Rather than simply listing every event, this guide gives parents and young cruisers an idea of what a typical Circle C schedule can look like aboard Carnival Celebration. For more Carnival information, CruisePrism readers can also explore our Carnival Dining Menus, Carnival Drink Lists, and Carnival Onboard Guides for more information about restaurants, schedules and onboard activities.
What Is Circle C on Carnival Celebration?
Circle “C” is Carnival Cruise Line’s youth program for guests ages 12 to 14. According to the Carnival HUB App, teens can meet new friends, play sports and video games, watch movies, and participate in activities in the dedicated Circle C lounge.
On this sailing, the app lists Circle C on Deck 17 Mid, with extension 4152.
The screenshots also identify the Circle C leader for this particular sailing as Amos. Staffing can change from one cruise to another, so cruisers should check the Carnival HUB App once onboard for current information.
The app shows Circle C operating during two periods on the day captured in the screenshot:
• 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
• 8:00 p.m.–1:00 a.m.
These hours should not be treated as universal Circle C hours for every Carnival Celebration sailing. The daily program changes depending on the day and itinerary, so the HUB App is the best place to check the current schedule onboard.
Where Is Circle C on Carnival Celebration?
Circle C is located on Deck 17 Mid.
The map shown in the Carnival HUB App places the club near the Lido area and The Warehouse, with Guy’s Burger Joint also visible nearby on the deck plan.
For parents and teens trying to find the club for the first time, the HUB App provides a useful location map directly from the Circle C information page.
Carnival Celebration Circle C Day 1 Schedule
Day 1 was embarkation day in Miami, and the Circle C schedule included several opportunities to register and get familiar with the program.
The screenshots show:
• 11:00 a.m. – Open House & Registration at Camp Ocean
• 2:00 p.m. – Open House & Registration at Circle C
• 3:45 p.m. – Sail Away at Lido
• 7:30 p.m. – Open House & Registration at Circle C
• 8:30 p.m. – Check Out Circle “C”
• 9:00 p.m. – Icebreakers
• 9:30 p.m. – Active
• 10:00 p.m. – Theme: Carnival Challenge
• 11:15 p.m. – Welcome Aboard Party
• 12:15 a.m. – U Choose
This is a good example of how Carnival uses embarkation day to transition from registration and introductions into evening social activities.
Icebreakers, an active session, a themed Carnival Challenge, and the Welcome Aboard Party give teens multiple chances to meet other cruisers on the first night rather than having to walk into an already-established group later in the sailing.
Carnival Celebration Circle C Day 2 Schedule – Nassau
Day 2 was Nassau, and the Circle C daily program included a combination of activities inside the club and events elsewhere around Carnival Celebration.
Activities visible in the screenshots include:
• 3:00 p.m. – U Choose
• 3:30 p.m. – Active: Basketball at the Sports Court
• 4:30 p.m. – Science & Discovery
• 5:15 p.m. – Craftworks: Messy Mania
• 8:00 p.m. – Icebreakers
• 9:00 p.m. – Craftworks: Jewelry Design
• 9:45 p.m. – Theme: Totally Awesome Throwback Party
• 11:00 p.m. – ‘80s Rock-n-Glow Party with Joey at Center Stage
• 11:45 p.m. – Late Night Snacks at Lido Marketplace
• 12:15 a.m. – U Choose
The Nassau schedule illustrates that Circle C programming isn’t confined entirely to the teen lounge. Basketball takes place at the Sports Court, the ‘80s Rock-n-Glow Party is listed at Center Stage, and Late Night Snacks takes place at Lido Marketplace.
That gives teens a mixture of structured club activities and events in other areas of the ship.
Carnival Celebration Circle C Day 3 Schedule – Fun Day at Sea
As you might expect from a sea day, the Circle C daily program shown in the screenshots begins much earlier.
The visible activities include:
• 9:00 a.m. – Build-A-Bear Workshop at Sea Party at Center Stage
• 10:00 a.m. – U Choose
• 12:00 p.m. – Craftworks Sand Art
• 1:00 p.m. – Tricked!
• 1:30 p.m. – Scavenger Hunt: Digital
• 2:30 p.m. – Carnival Tower
• 3:00 p.m. – Active
• 8:00 p.m. – Active
• 8:45 p.m. – Craftworks: DIY Creations
• 9:30 p.m. – Showtime: Amor Cubano at Grand Spectrum
• 10:15 p.m. – Teen Meet & Greet: Playlist Cast at Grand Spectrum
• 10:45 p.m. – Theme: Hollywood
• 12:00 a.m. – Games
• 12:30 a.m. – U Choose
This sea-day program shows the variety available particularly well. There are crafts, a digital scavenger hunt, games, active programming, a themed evening event, and opportunities to attend entertainment elsewhere aboard Carnival Celebration.
The schedule stretches from morning until after midnight, although that does not mean every activity takes place continuously or that teens are expected to participate in everything.
Carnival Celebration Circle C Day 4 Schedule – Amber Cove
On the Amber Cove port day, the screenshots show Circle C activities beginning later in the day.
The visible program includes:
• 3:00 p.m. – Games: Group Games
• 3:30 p.m. – Active: Mini Golf. Big Fun. at Mini Golf
• 4:30 p.m. – Youth – Craftworks – Spin Art
• 5:15 p.m. – Active
• 8:00 p.m. – Icebreakers
• 8:45 p.m. – Petal Storm
• 9:30 p.m. – Showtime: Color My World at Grand Spectrum
• 10:30 p.m. – Theme: Teen Color Challenge
• 11:45 p.m. – Games: Trivia
Compared with the sea-day schedule shown in these screenshots, the Amber Cove program is concentrated more heavily in the afternoon and evening.
Again, some activities take place outside Circle C itself. Mini golf, for example, is listed at Mini Golf on Deck 18 Aft, while Color My World is shown at Grand Spectrum.
Carnival Celebration Circle C Fun Day at Sea Activities
Another Fun Day at Sea captured in the screenshots shows six results under the Circle C filter:
• 8:00 p.m. – Icebreakers
• 8:30 p.m. – Craftworks: Jewelry Design
• 9:15 p.m. – Theme: Prom Court
• 10:45 p.m. – White Hot Night Party with Joey at Lido
• 11:45 p.m. – Late Night Snacks at Lido Marketplace
• 12:15 a.m. – U Choose
This particular screenshot is especially useful for showing how late Circle C programming can continue. The listed schedule extends beyond midnight, with the final U Choose session beginning at 12:15 a.m.
What Kinds of Activities Does Circle C Offer?
Based on the Carnival HUB App schedules from this Carnival Celebration sailing, Circle C programming covers several different types of activities.
There are social events such as Icebreakers and the Welcome Aboard Party, physical activities including basketball and mini golf, creative sessions such as jewelry design, sand art, spin art and DIY creations, and themed events including Hollywood, Carnival Challenge, Teen Color Challenge and Prom Court.
The program also incorporates larger ship activities and entertainment. The screenshots show Circle C participants being directed to events at Center Stage, Grand Spectrum, Lido, the Sports Court, Mini Golf and Lido Marketplace.
That variety may be particularly useful for a young cruiser who isn’t interested in sitting inside a youth lounge for hours at a time.
Using the Carnival HUB App for Circle C
The Carnival HUB App is especially useful when following the Circle C daily program because activities can change from day to day.
The screenshots show the schedule organized by itinerary day, including Miami, Nassau, Fun Day at Sea and Amber Cove. The app displays the activity time, name and location, making it much easier to see whether an event is taking place inside Circle C or somewhere else aboard Carnival Celebration.
Parents and teens should check the current onboard schedule rather than assuming that the examples in this guide will be repeated on another cruise.
Is Circle C Only Open at Night?
No. The screenshots from this sailing show Circle C programming during both daytime and evening hours.
On sea days, activities can begin in the morning. On port days, the visible schedules may be more concentrated later in the day.
The Circle C information page captured here also shows operating periods of 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.–1:00 a.m. for that particular day.
