Carnival Celebration Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Very fun cruise and totally met my expectations! Everyone was friendly.

The best thing was Bolt, if you have the chance ride it.

The ship was a disappointment. Cruise staff, entertainers, housekeeping, dining staff, all very very good at their jobs. Guest services, shore ex staff, onboard shopping staff, were not in the right head space at the time I encountered them. They may have been overworked or overwhelmed dealing with the day to day but they always seemed ready for a fight. I still can't believe they put me on a ferry to the mainland when I clearly did not belong there. Makes for a good anecdote, though.

Big ship with typical Carnival food. Crew seems overwhelmed and overworked.

My first experience on an XL ship. Can’t wait to try more.

Great experience. Love this ship going again in March. Same itinerary

Even though I was getting around on a crutch, I had a great time. It was a reunion cruise of the Hooligans so I had a lot of past cruiser friends with me. Lots of laughs and love this ship. Our next reunion will be on this ship in 2 years. A great fun group.

Beautiful ship to beautiful islands. Having to keep my phone with me at all times is the only downside.

We had a blast. 7 days may be a bit long. We have already booked our next voyage out of South Carolina

First of all, I’m not one to write reviews but this cruise was so bad I had to!! So we have been on a lot of cruises but the carnival celebration was hands down the worst and most disappointing, I didn’t have high hopes for carnival to begin with but decided to give it a try. for starters the food was atrocious and most of the time inedible especially from the main dining room which looked like high school cafeteria food!! And seriously since when do they not even put on a table cloth on the table, like cmon where have standards gone!! to get something halfway decent we had to eat at the pay restaurants and even the pay restaurants were nothing impressive especially when on Princess you can get way better quality food that is actually very good and not have to pay extra!! 99.9% of the staff was terrible, had no personality, and tbh sometimes rude!! Especially at guys burgers, if I were Guy Fieri I would remove my name from that place because aside from the burgers being bland and tasteless, it was dirty, the staff was rushing people and just plain rude!!! Aside from the food and service being atrocious housekeeping standards have dropped tremendously also, on any princess cruise or any other cruise line, our room would always be cleaned and then turned down at night, on the celebration it was only cleaned once a day that we even had to ask for extra towels every night, and I’m sorry the covid excuse is getting old now!! For a ship that just celebrated its one year anniversary and a ship that is suppose to be the “flag ship” for carnival, It was not impressive! For starters it was not very well maintained, it was dirty and kind of pathetic, even the outdoor steps were falling apart and in some cases blocked off!! Aside from being dirty the ships decor was bland and unappealing!! Princess ships the minute you walk on you are blown away by how beautiful and elegant the ships are, the celebration had 0 class whatsoever and looked extremely cheaply made from the horrible small celebration central (atrium) to the pathetic excuse of a lido deck which by the way was also filthy!! For the money we spent on this cruise between 2 family’s we could have went many other places. NEVER cruising with carnival again I honestly can not say one good thing about this cruise except that the cruise director, lee was cool and honestly I hope he moves to another cruise line because he is way to good to be on pathetic cruise line like carnival, but other then that this was the first cruise I couldn’t wait to get off of!!

We took our sons who were not fans of cruises and we hoped we could change their minds but this boat didn’t hold up to the Mardi Gras we sailed on four months earlier. We thought it’s the newest ship it will be great but it felt like we were being nickeled and dimed to death everywhere. We’re Carnival people but second guessed it after this cruise. Fights broke out and the kids were obnoxious. They did take some great pictures of us.

Cruise ship too big it’s all crowded buffets elevator not a good experience

Very good cruise 10/10 definitely recommend 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😞

We went on a cruise for me and my daughter's birthday. She had a week off for fall break so it was the perfect time. This is our first time on a mega ship and we definitely enjoyed it. My daughter wanted to ride on Bolt and it was fun. The set up of the ship was different then what I was use to. Pizza, the deli, some of the specialty restaurants and our main dining venue were on 7 but the lido was on 16. The elevators are also smaller than what we are use to so we just climbed the stairs. Our room was on deck 14 which was pretty close to the action. The shows were fun. We enjoyed the circus and celestial strings. Color my world was good too. We went to Amber Cove, San Juan, and St. Thomas. It rained a little in San Juan but we were still able to explore. In St. Thomas, the sky ride up the mountain was down for the month of September which was a little disappointing but now I have an excuse to go back. We had an amazing time and are looking forward to our next cruise.

The staff was so nice - my cabin steward was awsome - the MDR staff called me by my name every night and always remembered me. Only a few rude customers and 2 bartenders that helped people out of order.

Carnival Celebration is a phenomenal ship with a lot to do, definitely recommend this ship for anyone looking to try carnival for the first time.

This was a great cruise! The ship is beautiful and we will sail on her again because we missed some things.

My 14th cruise hubby's 2nd. It was awesome overall.

We had a great time in and off the ship. Lot of people but didn’t feel crowded at all. We loved it
