Carnival Liberty Shows and Entertainment
Looking across the entire seven-night Fun Times schedule gives a much better picture of Carnival Liberty’s entertainment than simply looking at a list of venues.
The cruise included major theater productions and shows such as:
- Welcome Aboard Show
- Flick
- Family Feud Live
- Deal or No Deal
- America Rocks!
- Vintage Pop
- The World Works Here
- Love and Marriage Show
The Venetian Palace served as the location for many of the largest productions and game shows.
There was also extensive comedy programming throughout the cruise. The schedules show performances by Vargas Mason, Steve White, Vince Morris and Damon Sumner, with both family-appropriate and adults-only performances depending on the show.
Live Music, Karaoke and Nightlife
Live music was a major part of the Carnival Liberty daily program.
Depending on the day and time, music was scheduled in areas such as:

- Hot & Cool Nightclub
The programs show performances and sets from musicians and DJs including Sound Sisters, Groove Wave, Morgan, The Steam Cats, DJ Copey, DJ Citrus, Sal and Piano Guy Tony.

Late-night parties included the White Hot Night Party and ’80s Rock-n-Glow Party, while Hot & Cool Nightclub offered DJ sets extending into the early morning on selected nights.
Carnival Liberty Dive-In Movies
The Fun Times also provide a good example of Carnival’s Dive-In Movies programming. Films were shown at the Carnival Seaside Theater on Lido Deck.
Movies listed across this sailing included Michael, Tron: Ares, The Breadwinner, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, You, Me & Tuscany, Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, Zootopia 2, The Sheep Detectives, Disclosure Day and Project Hail Mary.
The selection and schedule can change between cruises, so these Fun Times are best used as an example of the type and frequency of movie programming rather than a guarantee of what will play on another sailing.
Dining Hours on Carnival Liberty
Each Fun Times also includes detailed Food Venue Open Hours, which are especially useful when planning around port calls, excursions and evening entertainment.
Venues appearing throughout these schedules include BlueIguana Cantina, Guy’s Burger Joint, Pizza Pirate, Seafood Shack, Bonsai Sushi Express, Swirls, Carnival Deli, Lido Marketplace and the ship’s main dining rooms.
The schedules also list Diamonds Steakhouse and The Chef’s Table.
Opening hours change from day to day, particularly between sea days and port days. Checking the Carnival HUB app and the current day’s schedule onboard remains important if you’re trying to coordinate dinner with a show.
What Else Is Included in Carnival Fun Times?
Fun Times is much more than an entertainment schedule. These programs contain a large portion of the information passengers need to plan each day.
The uploaded Carnival Liberty programs include:
- Daily activity schedules
- Theater shows
- Comedy performances
- Trivia and game shows
- Live music
- Karaoke
- Deck parties
- Dive-In Movies
- Food venue hours
- Casino activities
- Shopping events
- Spa and fitness activities

The Carnival HUB app is also repeatedly referenced throughout the programs for additional information and opening times.
Sea Days vs. Port Days on Carnival Liberty
One of the most useful things these Fun Times show is the difference between a sea day and a port day.
Sea days have programming beginning early in the morning and continuing almost continuously through the night. Trivia, games, bingo, sports, spa events, shopping, live music and entertainment overlap throughout the day.
Port days have lighter programming while most passengers are ashore, but the activity schedule builds quickly as guests return to the ship. By dinner time, the entertainment schedule is once again packed with shows, comedy, karaoke, music and nightlife.
That makes the daily program particularly valuable when planning shore excursions. Knowing the day’s all-aboard time and the evening entertainment schedule makes it easier to decide whether to eat immediately after returning from port or wait until later.
