I went on a Carnival cruise from 12/20-12/27 and before I forget here are some thoughts for those going on one in the future. I had a blast, by the way.
1. Try to become a celebrity. Early on in the cruise, me and my brothers were able to become part of this live show on-board called "Love and Marriage." We contested as a gay couple just for fun and we were celebrities for the rest of the cruise. Everyone knew our names and wanted to talk to us. Telling them we were NOT gay made them infinitely more curious.
2. It is very easy to meet people on board just by going to activities and talking to people around you. Just ask "Hey, did you do the scavenger hunt yesterday?" or "What is there to do in Nassau, Bahamas?". Everybody is very laid back and relaxed, so there are no bitch shields. Try to meet as many people as possible on the first couple of days. They will be your friends for the rest of the trip!
3. Think logistics! The ship usually has tons of stuff going on that make perfect insta-dates, but if you're sharing a room with family (like me) you can't get privacy very easily. Bring a bottle of wine onboard and invite girls to share it with you.
4. The ship had about 2000 passengers. Of those, about 30 were available bangable girls 18-30 years old. There are definitely possibilities. Also, there is a "What happens on the cruise, stays on the cruise" mentality. I spent most of my time with a 24 y/o Canadian Asian girl, super cool but no bang mainly due to logistics I saw a few people hooking up (usually drunk) so it definitely happens.
5. The most popular way that people spend their time on the cruise is buying alcohol and gambling. That's how the cruise lines make most of their money and I'd recommend staying away from that for the most part. Make your own fun, be spontaneous, and you will not only have a blast but attract people who are looking for fun.
