Carnival Celebration overview

Carnival Celebration is a nod back to the original MS Celebration, a true classic ship for Carnival Cruise Line. The ship is slated to set sail from Miami in 2022, marking Carnival's 50th anniversary year.

Just like sister ship Mardi Gras, Carnival has incorporated six themed “zones” into Celebration to bring together incredible experiences to give passengers a unique onboard experience. Celebration will be the the second ship ever with BOLT, the thrilling onboard rollercoaster.

Carnival Celebration also marks the return of innovative restaurants like Bonsai Teppanyaki, RedFrog Tiki Bar, Family Feud Live, Havana Bar, Seuss at Sea, Playlist Productions and more.

It was ok by arlenexiomarah

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Celebration

It was ok , food was good, staff was not friendly, service was not good . Guest services were letting blue and red card holders stay on the platinum and Diamond line/ section. My Dr Seuss breakfast reservation was scheduled for the wrong date and we got up early and went on a Quest trying to find out where the restaurant was and when we found it, it was closed so we went back to guest services where no one knew anything , after some calling around and asking they were able to inform us that it was booked on the wrong day by them. Not I! I had gone to the services in the beginning of the week to book the Dr Seuss breakfast and at that time I was given a date and time on a piece of paper by them , which turned out to be the wrong date and the wrong restaurant and the wrong everything. I'm a woman in my 50s and I needed a fan but there were no fans available and that request was on the first day of the cruise, evidently they were all snatched up before 2:00 p.m.

Thermal spa was not as serene and relaxing as other Carnival ships, as well as, Havana deck not offering enough hot tubs, pools. Save your money and get another room on the ship. Culinary del Capitano

Do not get corner suite as we did. Everyone can see on your balcony and you could see right into theirs. Made it a bit uncomfortable to sit outdoors
