Carnival Celebration Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Never have issues on carnival, always a pleasure.

please give some recognition to the great staff Myrtle, Manuel and Julian!! They made the cruise much better than it already was.

Carnival Celebration was a nice ship, but the level of customer service, clientele, and food quality did not meet my expectations. I would not recommend Carnival to anyone.

I give this cruise an 8 out of 10. I know it is a family cruise but children should not be permitted in the dance clubs at night. Parents start drinking and don't supervise their children. Kids running all over the club bumping into people, not ok.

This was my fourth carnival cruise as I mainly cruise with Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. I decided to give Carnival another try but was not impressed.

it's too big no place to go and enjoy the shows like on Carnivals other ships, short staffed they make rules but don't enforce them so why make rules, they shut everything down because they are short so not fair to us and the buffet was a joke when you can't even get into eat because you only have 2 small stations open

It was okay. I given an average rating. I have on many cruises that I've rated higher.

The best I can say is its a fine cruise if you get it for a good deal but if given the chance to cruise with another cruise line I would take it.

it was our Anniversary. we had a great time Carnival never disappoints.

We loved this ship and the new XL class. It offers so much more than Carnivals smaller ships. The fact that she’s big and everything is spread out makes it feel not crowded.

We had a great time and really enjoyed the Alchemy Bar on this ship the bar tenders were fantastic.

It was a fabulous time! The islands and excursions wonderful. The boat was well organized and quick at everything and didn’t seem like 6000 people on it.

Our first cruise and it was amazing We will sail on the Celebration again

Cruise itself was good. Ship was very clean and beautiful. Staff were great as usual. Before reading the opinion below, please know that we had a great time. The complaint below would be greatly remedied by better manners from the kids or parents watching closer. Carnival needs to have a more robust system regulating minors. I cannot stress the level of frustration we had EVERY SINGLE EVENING. We understand kids being kids and having fun during the day. It's after the 5:00pm or 6:00pm time frame that it got bad. "Children" (non-teenagers) were not the problem. The problem were teenagers roaming in packs with no respect for fellow passengers. We experienced numerous examples of: - running uncontrolled through crowds almost knocking people over - budging in front of people waiting for elevators. No care that others had been waiting much longer - Rudely speaking to others. I witnessed many instances of senior citizens being made to feel uncomfortable because of how they were talked to. - Lack of care of littering - throwing and slamming balls off stairways and walls - Throwing food off the balconies. We saw instances of pizza/food being tossed Carnival staff need look out for this behavior and stop it immediately. Also, Carnival needs to have a curfew of 10:00pm for minors. Having a 1:00am curfew is ridiculous. What we experienced is most likely experienced on other Carnival ships. If something isn't done as with other issues (ie: marijuana (which we still smelled often), fighting, personal speakers)....Carnival's reputation is at stake as this is what we had already heard online and from others prior to our recent cruise. What we had heard was simply confirmed.

I am a Platinum member and waited on platinum line while many others were taken care of. There should be a separate person taking care of Platinum members only not just a line. No computer area to access and print out papers for my next cruise. No priority seating for Platinum members at my time dining. Not enough stalls in restrooms by dining and theater. HATE!!! automatic restroom doors, they stay open and I witnessed many men zippering their pants in full view. Also women restroom door stays open to long to have privacy for us women. Smoke in casino and on decks. Saving of seats and lounge chairs

Celebration is a big ship with a lot of diversity. Children were better behaved than adults.

We booked this cruise for a family group. We had excellent weather and enjoyed most of the cruise. The Backyard band in the Pig and Anchor restaurant were excellent and some of the best musicians I’ve ever heard. The comedians were also very entertaining. Our room Steward was very attentive, helpful and cheerful. The food in the dining room did not meet my expectations. Other food venues were much better. We had a broken TV in our stateroom that took over 24 hours to get replaced.

Everything about the cruise was amazing! The ship was kept absolutely clean, the staff was friendly, courteous, and professional, and the comedians were top notch.

Carnival dropped the ball with the new Excel class ships. These ships are overcrowded and the crew buckled under the pressure from the immense crowds packed in small areas. I'd advise to stay away unless you like wasting hard earned vacation money in trade for a not so good experience. Other cruise lines do better with bigger ships than Carnival

Carnival is always a good time. This ship had the best entertainment I've had on a Carnival cruise. Add to that great food options and fun activities and you can't beat it. It is a big party at sea. If you are not into the drinking scene, there are plenty of places to go where you can avoid most of that.
