Carnival Celebration Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I really loved Celebration. I was a little surprised that the sail away party seemed short and lacking. The rest of the lido parties were a blast! It was my first carnival cruise. Cruised other lines previously. Carnival didn’t disappoint. I would cruise on this ship again.

Serenity deck was nice but not enough seats in the shade. People would go out before breakfast and place towels where ever they wanted to save seats then not show up until hours later.

Loved Rudi’s Seagrill it’s a must! Lee the Cruise Director was fabulous! Unfortunately he is off on vacation and Chris the flying Scotsman is the new Cruise Director!

I loved every part of it❤️ and i will sail on her again

Loved the serenity deck peace late at night on the beds

We had a great time crew interacting was very fun bestDJ on any ship

Did this cruise as a birthday celebration and it was awesome. From the food, to the entertainment, the activities and the ports of call. Carnival in years past has had a so-so reputation which is why I avoided them for so many years but their new XL class of ships is a dream vacation. I can’t wait to try the Mardi Gras & Jubilee.

Beautiful new ship & wonderful shows to enjoy. The bars on the ship were great with a variety of premium drinks & wines

Overall cruising on the carnival celebration for 7 days was a fun trip. There were small frustrations as stated in my review but nothing that could cause me to not enjoy being on vacation and being on a cruise. I I blame some of my frustrations on myself for having larger expectations of such a large ship.

A beautiful ship with a design departure from older CCL ships. We enjoyed the spread out layout. The lack of seating in the Theater and Central Stage is disappointing. Multiple restaurants and food options is refreshing. There were different pool and relaxation areas.

We love cruising and this is the first time we've ever been ready to get off a ship. If you soley cruise for drinking and eating at specialty restaurants, she's the ship for you. We found the decor on the other ships to be better, easier to navigate, and just overall more enjoyable. Before we sailed her, I found the negative reviews hard to believe. But now I believe them. As my son said, he was grateful for the cruise, but it wasn't what he's used to. I think it's a fair statement.

Nice looking ship but staff needs improvement and more staff needed in most areas. Dirty dishes siting around several days before being picked up.

Overall a nice ship. The entertainment was lacking went to comedy show. Was not a fan of the comedians that were there at the time. The piano bar was enjoyable except at times I felt like I was at a private party. Teppanyaki and the steakhouse are always a great choice for dinner. Was looking forward to trying Chibang and unfortunately was disappointed all food served was cold and just ok But for them to classify my cabin as a “premium” cabin is awful!!

LOVED the Celebration! The newer layout on the XL class is easy to navigate, and absolutely love all the new food options! Will definitely sail her again! 🤙🏼

My family of four adults had a perfect experience. It was better than I hoped for. It was one of my favorite cruises and will definitely sail her again. I just can’t get over how beautiful the ship is. I loved our cabin, I loved the food and so many places to choose from to eat. Loved the staff and the cruise Director, Lee was great. The entertainment was top notch. Lots of places for ice cream and the Gelato station at the buffet was yummy! I really can’t think of anything really negative other than the center stage isn’t the best places to host shows. I think it is a great place to have musical groups and to host Bingo and other games but not big shows. I didn’t run into any rude people on the ship. The elevators are fine. I absolutely LOVED this cruise!!!!

I wish they would bring back cleaning the cabin more than once a day. Spa cabins are great due to the comp use of the thermal suites. Shaqs Big Chicken and Pig & Anchor have breakfast that's easier to grab and go. Lido buffet seating is huge but food choices were poor. Water slides and ropes course were fun. The comedians were entertaining enough... No issues with the staff but none stuck out. The casino was paying much better than the Carnival Freedom last month. No complaints besides our fellow loud mouth weed smoking passengers... Quite annoying.

Poor service, food, and childcare was the overall experience on the Celebration.

The food , space , activities , and ship design are great

We enjoyed the cruise. Cruising is what you make it. No complaints.

Overall, loved this cruise. My boyfriend and I made some friends and spent a lot of time with them. Shoutout Lala, Kayla and Chris! I will say I prefer the smaller ships but I enjoyed the Celebration a lot.
