Carnival Celebration overview

Carnival Celebration is a nod back to the original MS Celebration, a true classic ship for Carnival Cruise Line. The ship joined the fleet in January 2022 homeported in Miami. The ship is a tribute to 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.

Wonderful Caribbean Cruise by janicewynn72

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

I give this cruise an 8 out of 10. I know it is a family cruise but children should not be permitted in the dance clubs at night. Parents start drinking and don't supervise their children. Kids running all over the club bumping into people, not ok.

Pay More for a Better Cruise Line by SDaye

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Celebration

Carnival Celebration was a nice ship, but the level of customer service, clientele, and food quality did not meet my expectations. I would not recommend Carnival to anyone.

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

This was my fourth carnival cruise as I mainly cruise with Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. I decided to give Carnival another try but was not impressed.
