Carnival cruise directors are some of the liveliest, most personable entertainment personalities at sea.
All of Carnival's cruise directors are at the center of many onboard activities, from leading dances at the sailaway party to hosting game shows.
Cruise directors also keep guests informed about what's happening around the ship. You shouldn't be surprised if you hear your cruise director's voice come over the public address system at least once per day.
Whether you are curious about who the cruise director is on your upcoming Carnival cruise or want to book your next sailing with your favorite, the schedule below can help.
Editor's note: Cruise director schedules are subject to change at any time due to crew rotations and personal circumstances. This article will be updated as new information becomes available. If you would like to share the cruise director on your current sailing, please email [email protected]. The last update was made on February 6, 2026.
