The contestants will be chosen at the beginning of their cruise following rounds of competitions on the Lido Deck to see who has what it takes to be a star. Two finalists will be selected based on their enthusiasm, originality and creativity and they will each have an opportunity to fine tune their performance working with Carnival's on-board entertainment experts to map out choreography, and select their sets, props and accessories.
Then, it's showtime! Following a custom video by "Lip Sync Battle" hosts and a rousing introduction from the ship's cruise director, finalists are asked to showcase their lip sync skills, selecting from a list of more than 200 songs – from pop to rock and just about everything in between.
The second round takes lip syncing to a whole new level with a full-scale production – costumes, sets and lighting -- during which the finalists recreate a scene from an iconic music video offering their own unique interpretation of the popular song which can be chosen from a variety of music genres. After the performance, the winner will be selected by an audience vote and receive a special prize unique to the reality show.
Lip Sync Battle Carnival will debut on the new Carnival Vista in December with rollout on select ships in 2017. Lip Sync Battle Carnival further expands on the already wide range of entertainment options onboard which includes Carnival Live,
