The Carnival Celebration is a great new ship and we recommend all to sail on her.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Carnival Embarkation process has gotten way better since we last cruised Carnival back in 2019. Key cards were ready in the stateroom saving the time and lines waiting to get cards before boarding.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Start out with the Bard or not as good. The Buffet was underwhelming, for a larger ship the buffet area was smaller and featured less choices. The good or even great was the food all over the rest of the ship. The main dining room was wonderful, out waitstaff team led by Achmed were one of the best we've had on a cruise. We didn't drink much on this cruise but when we did, the Bar staff was friendly and quick.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
The pools on the Celebration are fantastic. The inclusion of the infinity pools on the backs of deck 8 and 16 are our new favorite pools. Water slides and kids waterpark areas are wonderful as well. Bolt the Roller Coaster is worth riding once or twice to experience. At $15.00 per two laps it's a bit on the spendy side, I think they should drop the price to $10.00.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The shows on the Celebration were really good. We especially like the Center State shows. Make sure to get there early and sit on Beck 6 by the main stage They performers are all around you.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The staff was great all over the ship. Friendly and always quick to say hello. Cruise Director Lee is a great Cruise Director. I can see why he's been named the Best Cruise Director.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The Celebration was under a year old when we cruised on her. She's a larger ship and was well thought out when built. The ship was well cleaned and maintained by the staff.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Our standard Balcony room wes as expected.
Ship tip
Make sure to eat in the main dining room and get to the shows early to get good seats. To many new cruisers don't get to the shows and are missing out on such quality live performances.
