Let’s face it sometimes watching a movie just isn’t the same if you don’t have a sweet and savory treat like popcorn! This National Popcorn day we are taking a look across different cruise lines to see where you can indulge in this treat on your next cruise!
Outdoor Entertainment on the Upper Decks
‘Movie’s Under the Stars’ with Princess Cruises, and it’s ‘Dive-In Movies’ with Carnival, but whatever you call it, it’s movie showtime on the top deck!
Up on deck, in the evening many cruise lines pools double as an entertainment venue. Jump in the nearby pool or jacuzzi and watch a jumbo LED screen, play a movie! Or stay dry in a lounge chair and pass the popcorn!
Guests can enjoy a variety of entertainment ranging from movies and live sporting events.
Carnival Cruise Line now charges a nominal fee for deck-side popcorn, which can be charged to your set sail pass.
On the Menu during Disney Cruise Lines‘ Animation Magic’
While cruising on a Disney ship that has Animators Palate, as guests are seated at their tables, they are invited to draw a character of their own using a simple template on their placemat. Then, just before dinner, house lights dim and a sprinkling of pixie dust illuminates the room. Throughout the dinner, a show is illuminated across the screens and guests become “Official Disney Animators.”
On “Animation Magic” evening, the creative cuisine matches the character of this restaurant, with both cold and hot appetizer samplers that give diners a half-dozen delicious small bites to start the meal, such as “Corn Three Ways” with popcorn soup, corn salsa and chicken coated with garlic-cheese popcorn.
In the Theater on Disney Cruise Line
Get ready to watch the newest Disney films while sailing the high seas! A worthy while seaday activity during your next cruise! Skip going to movie theaters right before your cruise if you wanted to see a new Disney flick. Likely it will be playing during your sail and you get to watch while onboard!
It wouldn’t be Disney Popcorn without Popcorn buckets! Just like the Disney theme parks, they have seasonal buckets that become incredible collector’s items. Currently, guests are losing their minds to get a hold of a figment popcorn bucket at Epcot in Walt Disney World.
Best part of grabbing a popcorn bucket on a Disney Cruise? You won’t have to wait in line for 5 hours!
Depending on the size of the popcorn bucket they can range from $8 to $13; refills, $1.50.

And a last resort- vending machines!
As seen across Royal Caribbean cruise ships they have “pharma boxes” on some of the larger ships. Below is a vending machine that was spotted on Oasis of the Seas in the teen’s venue of Adventure Ocean. Popcorn can be found for $3 a bag and charged to your SeaPass card.
