Wonderful First Cruise! by JillKU

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Carnival Celebration

Carnival Celebration definitely has a LOT of activities on board everyday. There is something for everyone. This was my first cruise and I talked to many people that go on cruises regularly, who said the activities and fun on the ship are why they booked this cruise. All the staff were upbeat, kind and did an outstanding job. The food was plentiful and there were many options/choices. I just wish I had more time to explore at the different ports, to be able to see more of the ABC islands we docked at.

Excellent Cruise - Locations, ship, and crew by debbartlett10

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Carnival Celebration

For the most part people on the cruise are great, both passengers and crew. (There will always be a few not so nice - ignore them) Enjoy your cruise, the staff goes above and beyond to make everything nice. Join a group for your cruise on Facebook, it is very handy to get information about what is happening and activities other cruisers are planning. (Remember Facebook is Facebook and there are tolls, so don't get overwhelmed. People may not being kind, most of the time they are not really on your cruise.) These groups really helped to get to know the boat and happenings before hand.

Mediocre Carnival Cruise by nyyankees1

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Celebration

Carnival Celebration is a great ship. The food was lacking especially the buffets which had the exact same food every day without a change. The specialty restaurants were just OK. Try the Teppanyaki as it was excellent. I cannot say the same for the other specialty restaurants which were "hit and miss". The staff was very helpful and courteous.

The ship was way to big for my liking. Your smaller ships were a lot more fun as we have been on the Fascination (2 times. ) Imagination ( 2 times) the Valor, the Glory. and the Fantasy. by dmannis1955

It was okay but just not as fun as the smaller ships as they were easier to get around on.

Horrible, but staff was wonderful! by Rickfaist1

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Celebration

Ship too big, Too many people and always waiting in line, charged for everything, feels like you're getting nickeled and dimed. No internet services unless you pay, TV channels minimal overall feeling like you're being held hostage. Could hardly wait to get off ship and will never return. I'm sorry this is so direct, but I wanted someone to know. But, the staff was awesome! Fauzi, our stateroom attendant was wonderful! He was super polite and super helpful. He did an excellent job cleaning our room. The dining staff made dinner so much fun. Joel was excellent. He provided excellent service and he was hilarious! His helpers were just as fabulous! Adit, the magician, was fantastic! We loved his magic tricks! The host, her name began with a "P", was sweet and helpful.

Great Room and Islands, Food Lack Luster in Some Areas by hcl43163810

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Carnival Celebration

I recently had the opportunity to dine at a certain establishment, and my food experience was a rollercoaster of emotions. While there were standout moments, there were also disappointing aspects that I cannot ignore. Let's start with the negative side of things: the buffets. Sadly, they were a letdown. The variety they promised was overshadowed by the lackluster quality of the dishes. It felt like quantity was prioritized over quality, resulting in a bland and uninspiring selection. This was especially disheartening as buffets are often expected to be a delightful indulgence of various flavors. Additionally, the main dining room experience fell short of expectations. It lacked the usual charm and excellence that I had come to associate with it from previous visits. However, the review isn't all grim. There were definite highlights in the culinary journey. The burger and chicken place stole the show with their excellent offerings. The flavors were on point, and the execution was impeccable. It's refreshing to see that amidst the disappointments, there were spots that still delivered on taste and satisfaction. Another positive aspect was the secondary restaurants that came without an additional cost. These eateries exceeded expectations and provided a much-needed respite from the earlier letdowns. The fact that you could only visit these establishments once each, due to recent changes, was a downside though. These were the spots that offered decent food without the burden of extra charges, making the dining experience more affordable and enjoyable. In summary, my food experience at this establishment was a mixture of highs and lows. The buffets and main dining room were sorely disappointing, failing to deliver the culinary excellence they had promised. On the brighter side, the burger and chicken place, along with the complimentary secondary restaurants, provided a glimmer of culinary delight. The recent change of restricting visits to these secondary restaurants is a letdown, as they were the saving grace in an otherwise underwhelming food lineup. With improvements in some areas and reconsideration of recent changes, this establishment could once again become a must-visit for food enthusiasts.

Absolutely Amazing by jessmom67

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Celebration

My entire cruise was amazing I enjoyed every single day second, minute, hour from the time I boarded until I got off the ship. I wish I could have stayed 10 days. Everything was so relaxing and amazing . I will definitely be returning to every ship that you build. I want to do the Jubilee, and I haven’t done the Mardi Gras yet. (I hopped on the Celebration lol)

Nice Ship by Cruiser32488420

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Carnival Celebration

Beautiful ship but I recommend better dinning accommodations. I like the pre COVID dinning experience when you are assigned to one dinning hall at a specific time. Food lines are extremely long.

not impressed by rebecca5phillip

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Celebration

I was not impressed with this ship, I was expecting more since it was a new ship. The food in the buffet for any meal was limited, so it forced you to stand in long lines at the chicken spot or the burger spot. The entertainment was limited. The roller coaster got stuck with people on it twice. The stairs were broken around the outside decks.

Very good time, Staff were excellent, food was fair to good with service being slow for the most part. . by cabenson3307

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Celebration

Carnival is an excellent cruise line. The size of ships seems to be getting out of control. Way too many people to try to handle/coordinate in a professional manner. Hardly seen ships officers in charge of an area around. Especially the dining areas. The Military Appreciation Night was by far, the BEST of any of the cruise lines we have been on. Bar None. I Salute your company and staff for a job well done.

Amazing Cruise Experience by rdsmith72482

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Celebration

We will continuing cruising with Carnival and the Celebration. Already planning our next cruise on this ship. Enjoyed getting free drinks the entire cruise from the casino. I think I gave them back what it would cost for the cheers package in casino losses but it was fun. Overall, the ship, the people on the boat, the staff, and anyone else apart of it made it a 10/10 experience.

Disappointed by DanicaMcNair

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Carnival Celebration

Leaving the terminal, the journey walking to Celebration and the journey from ship back to the terminal, could have been better organized. The escalator was not working and it felt like we were being herded on and off to use the elevator. There was no organization and people were tripping over each other. It was a fire hazard in that hallway, was disorganized.
