Carnival Celebration Review: Is It Still One of My Favorite Cruise Ships?
Description
This week on Cruise Conversations, Michael is back from a 7-night cruise aboard Carnival Celebration and sharing a full review of his second time sailing the ship and third cruise aboard Carnival’s Excel Class.
What was originally planned as a family vacation unexpectedly turned into a solo cruise, and the adventure started before Michael even made it onboard when his checked bag never left Charlotte. From navigating three days without his luggage to returning to Celebration Key, exploring the waterfalls of Amber Cove, and making the trek to Jack’s Shack in Grand Turk, there’s plenty to unpack from this sailing.
We also dive into what’s changed aboard Carnival Celebration since Michael last sailed her, including dining, entertainment, crowds, service, and whether the ship remains one of his favorites.
In this episode, we cover:
- A full Carnival Celebration cruise review
- Why flying in the day before your cruise matters
- Returning to Celebration Key for a full day
- The Damajagua Waterfalls in Amber Cove
- Visiting Jack’s Shack in Grand Turk
- Dining around Carnival Celebration
- Trying a Carnival Kitchen cooking class
- Entertainment, comedy, nightlife & sea days
- Staying in a Cove Balcony on Deck 5
- Whether Carnival Celebration is still one of his favorite cruise ships
One of the biggest surprises of the week? The Carnival Kitchen cooking class ended up being one of Michael’s favorite experiences he’s ever had on a cruise.
Whether you’re planning a Carnival Celebration cruise, considering your first Carnival Cruise Line vacation, or wondering what it’s like to cruise solo on one of Carnival’s largest ships, this episode is packed with firsthand experiences, tips, and plenty of lessons from seven days onboard.
