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.

Great Caribbean Cruise by ship2Shore42

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

Was concerned about so many bad reviews but was glad we did the cruise on the Celebration. For having over 6,000 people on board it did not feel overcrowded at all excpet for the elevators. Way too small. With them being undertaffed the team did a great job at every venue we did. Food in the Steak house and Teppanyaki was superb! Getting one and off was the best yet in the 12 cruises we have taken. Internet was ok and we did have to conect to it several time thoughout the day. It was not very fast but it did it's job on the things needed for it to do. Entertainment was good but not great and most of that was due to the sound. Our Son is in the theatre sound business on Broadway and we could be a little skewed in our opinion seeing so many great plays.
