We will be on the Miracle on the 4th of July. Has anyone every been on a Carnival cruise on this holiday. Just wondering what to expect, Fireworks?

I will be on the Elation at the same time and was woundering the same thing. Looks like the 4th will be a day at sea as well.

I will be on the Dream July 4 and my understanding is they dont do much. Fireworks and cruise ships dont go well together although Disney somewhow manages. I think there are some American theme displays but what else could you expect? Maybe somebody can dress up like Uncle Sam or something...

Only Disney cruises have the license that allows them to shoot off fireworks.

No other ships are allowed... so the answer unforuntately is no.

I was on a cruise over new yrs, cant remember if it was the Victory or Grand Princess. Have to look at my stack of cruise cards. Anyhow, they shot off Fireworks at midnight, lasted about 10 minutes. That was back in 2000-01.

Come to think about it..It was on the Victory, I remember I got a good deal on a aft ext balcony for same price as a regular, since the ship was still "new" they didnt change the prices yet for the aft ext balconys.

Interesting. Fireworks on a ship would be fun, but it might be a bit dangerous.
