Review summary

We booked this cruise and booked a back to back on the new Icon of the Seas thinking the Icon would be our favorite. Surprisingly my husband and I, first time Carnival cruisers, liked the Celebration better. We felt the Celebration had better food and our balcony cabin was more comfortable with better AC. The main thing we liked better was how much less crowded the Celebration felt. The ship was a bit hard to navigate at first but we quickly found our way around and everything is laid out in a logical way. The free food was the best we have experienced, better than Royal and better and NCL. The other lines are not bad but not quite as good. And yes Shaq's big chicken was better than Chick Fil A.
