Carnival Celebration Cruise Reviews - Reviews

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.

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

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.

Perhaps the best cruise experience so far, the ship is beautiful, plenty of options to eat, and shows were incredible!

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.

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)

We had such a blast!! We will definitely cruise with Carnival again!! An excellent adventure with something for everyone!!!

Way better than we thought if would be. Teenagers had plenty to do and left the adults alone to relax!! Good stress free vacation!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This was a beautiful ship. We like the minor changes on this ship better than Mardi Gras. We will definitely sail this ship again.

Overall this was a great vacation experience. Things were not perfect but nothing is. There were more positives than negatives. I would have no problem recommending this vacation experience. Loved the ship. Main dining room food could improve in flavor but I did not lose any weight, LOL. Loved all of the entertainment. DJ Cue was a great DJ and cruise director was wonderful.

Don't go on carnival, terrible customer service, terrible food, terrible atmosphere, and they close most of the bars by 8pm.

Awesome ship but needed more entertainment onboard. Shows were lacking, the staff were very hardworking and pleasant

It was a nice cruise, my children had so fun.The food was very good and the childern always going for more. I love our state room, my wife and i loved it so much.

Overall it was a good vacation. I feel the ship was very nice and had a lot to offer. The negative aspects of the trip had nothing to do with the ship itself.

It was a, not so great start, but the Celebration was a great cruise. My entire family had a blast.
