Cruise lines tend to offer their crew members special meals in honor of most major holidays.
That makes sense at Christmas or Easter, but it's less logical on the Fourth of July or Thanksgiving because so few crew members are Americans.
It's a little strange to host a traditional Thanksgiving feast for a large group of people who have never had one before, unless they worked the holiday on a boat the previous year. Still, crew members always appreciate the special meals and Carnival Cruise Line (CCL) did not disappoint with this year's party.

In fact, Carnival's galley team prepared multiple meals to complement the crew buffet and also served a special captain's dinner.
Most crew members eat at a buffet-style restaurant, which is a sort of buffet for passengers on the deck of the Lido. Only performers, officers, and other select personnel are allowed to eat in passenger areas (although there are sometimes exceptions to that rule, such as crew members who win contests).
Kyndall “Fire” Magyar, who just rejoined Carnival Jubilee as cruise director, took to her popular instagram channel to offer a look at both the crew's Thanksgiving buffet and what a select few ate at the cruise table. captain.

Carnival offers Thanksgiving party to crew
Transcription:
Alright, join me for Thanksgiving dinner as a cruise ship crew member.
Then the actual menu of what will be served tonight will be posted outside the crew mess. Every time we have a special event, they also make these amazing carvings and watermelons, and this being Thanksgiving, we had turkey, cranberry sauce, gravy, stuffing, and of course, sweet potatoes.

On the regular line, we also had other different areas of different foods and cultures.
Then you move on to the dessert section, which was also amazing.
Tonight I had dinner at Captain's Mess where they also had a special menu for us which was amazing.
I went with a chicken dish because I'm not a turkey girl, and I also got a lemon cheesecake, which blew me away, and it was a great dinner.
