Absolutely loved the Celebration. We will definitely cruise on her again. The ports were fantastic... I am still.tryinf ro figure out a way to become a stow away so I don't have to get off the ship!!! Happy cruising everyone!!!!
Embarkation
3 out of 5
Embarkation was an absolute mess... not at any fault.of carnival.. due to a maritime accident in the water way of port miami, that resulted in 1 death, 1 hospitalization, and 1 sunken boat... we were not able to board the ship until almost 1130 pm. It definitely took away from the 1st day excitement, but crap happens... someone lost their life... Carnival did an amazing job with updates, and so forth
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
My personal opinion... the food has definitely dropped in quality... if it hadn't been for guys burgers, shaqs big chicken, and Emril's Bistro, we may not have really eaten much.. lido buffet was absolutely horrible... when mashed potatoes are the best thing to eat, there needs to be some kind of redo!!! Fyi.. yea Emril's is extra, but it is very reasonable and damn it is amazingly good!!!!
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
There is always fun to be had on a carnival ship..all the shows, including the Circus were good... but the best activity/entertainment for us is the casino..... side note... if you get an offer with free drinks in the casino... on the celebration, you do NOT have to be sitting at the slots or a table game actively playing to take advantage of the free drinks... you totally can go to the bar and order and get served on your free drinks!!!!! Major bonus there!!!
Entertainment

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The casino bartender was the most friendly, outgoing, go getting person I have ever met... I Would totally book a cruise if she was on a specific ship. Our stateroom steward was amazing
.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
This ship is beautiful and huge... I really don't think we covered the entire ship... everything was amazing.
So very clean, always someone working on maintaining cleanliness, the layout was absolutely awesome.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We had an interior havana cabin
. While very nicely decorated, it was very very small.. from the closets to the bathroom..... everything was much smaller
Ship tip
Please remember manners... it costs absolutely nothing to be nice...the people who our working on the ship deserve all the respect!!! The are making your vacation the best.. treat them wirh respect!!!
Beautiful island for a beach day... 40 bucks got us 2 chairs, a table, a huge umbrella, and bottles waters... water was a little cloudy from recent storms but was still Beautiful
Disembarking always sucks... I never want to get of the ship, and it only makes it worse when people don't listen and try to bumrush the gangway.
You either go during the time you pick to go or choose a later time to disembark... the amount of announcements that had to be made to tell people not to rush the deck where the gangway was, was reminiscent of kindergartners not wanting to come inside from recess...im not sure what was going on with customs, but they moved at the pace of the sloth thay worked at the DMV In ZOOTOPIA.
