Review summary

Carnival Celebration is a fantastic ship, it feels very new and clean and offers soooo much in dining and entertainment, the staff is excellent. The ports of call are fantastic! I would recommend this ship and itinerary to friends and family.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Stage shows were cheesy, we enjoyed Family Feud, guess the groove etc, the comedians were just average, wish there were more family friendly game show type options, or lido deck entertainment options

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
friendly, personable, lots of helpful staff everywhere

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
ship was very clean and new feeling, staff did an excellent job of picking up and cleaning up, no noticeable wear and tear anywhere on the ship, did NOT enjoy the scent emitted in some areas of the ship, too strong & perfumy not fresh and clean smelling

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
the size was as expected for the ship, it was extremely clean and well lit, Christoper did an excellent job keeping it clean and tidy, the storage areas were ample for my family of 4, the beds were comfortable

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5
Miami airport is in terrible condition and lacks many of the conveniences of most big city airports

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
Amber Cove was clean and the people friendly, our excursion was excellent, the Carnival Amber Cove pool area was nice but not an attraction that appeals to me, the Dominican Republic has many wonderful sights and friendly people, we felt really safe with our Carnival excursion van driver and tour guide, we saw many sights and packed a lot into our day

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
beautiful old town sights and lots of photo and shopping opportunities, most areas are walk-able from the port so we didn't book an excursion

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
BEAUTIFUL! We booked our own excursion outside of Carnival for transportation to a beach, this allowed us to be on our own time vs a group excursion timeline, the beach was beautiful, and got busy after 11am

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
it felt a little disorganized on the ship and there was a lot of confusion and frustration with the lines and waiting on elevators, once off the ship and in the port the process was easy, quick, smooth and much more organized. If more staff would have been available onboard to direct passengers, answer question an keep lines moving properly the process could be improved
