Hope your bladder is strong ( just saying) The men’s bathroom well one stall if lucky two stalls you hit the jackpot the automatic doors stay open when the men are urinating just might not have door at all. The food you have got to be kidding same food on different ...

We had a fantastic time on the Celebration. The entertainment was great and lots of it. We found a bartender at the Watering Hole who made our entire trip next level. He made us feel like family and went out of his way to provide first-class service. His name is Liter. Go find him, and you will be taken care of the entire trip. We played Deal or No Deal, Bingo, listened to karaoke, watched ...

It's my second Carnival and I was supposed to get on the newest and biggest ship in the carnival fleet. I give the food in general 3 stars. THEY DO NOT HAVE A VARIETY of meals in their non-paying restaurants. It is very repetitive and there is no variety. The Soda vending machines do not work and are VERY scarce. If you buy a package of soda and are used to Royal Caribbean, forget it! It's even ...

I have traveled with Carnival many times, but this time was ridiculous and dissatisfying from the moment we boarded to the day we left. To start, our bags never arrived. We had to go to deck eight to guest service to see where our bags were. They were over by the elevators with other bags, which was so unfortunate. Then, no one helped us take them to our cabin! On the third day, breakfast took ...

Here is our honest, detailed review! We were on the Carnival Celebration from February 25 - March 3, 2024. We are a 30 year old married couple from Canada who traveled just the two of us. This is our fifth cruise together and second Carnival cruise (we have cruised Norwegian twice and MSC once). Embarkation Embarkation was very smooth. There was no waiting around. We were curb to ship in ...

Having cruised on the original Excel class ship (Mardi Gras) in 2022, we were looking forward to sailing on the Celebration, expecting similar entertainment quality and value. We got a big shock concerning the entertainment offerings shortly after departing. The shows featured at the center stage (the three-deck atrium) were very lackluster in comparison. There may have been a technical issue ...

We were invited to attend a friend’s wedding onboard Carnival Celebration so we booked and are happy we did. Loved our cabin (ocean suite) with comfortable bed and 2 tvs. Spacious bathroom and balcony. Lots of activities and shows onboard. We especially enjoyed the comedy shows at Punchliner Comedy Club and the nightclub atmosphere at Limelight Lounge. DJ Copey kept the hits playing and people ...

On Celebration, you need an App to check the daily schedule and to reserve your diner time. The problem is that you need to pay for the App. This should be included in the cruise price. I understand the reasoning for this application but the cruise line should provide such a service for free. I ask if there was other ways to reserve our diner time and the answer was to get to the dining room and ...

Bigger isn't better! The food was not good at all, no Dr Pepper, the soda machines were down more than not, poor service, bar tenders with bad attitudes, nobody came around to take your drink orders, very bad! When you went from bar to bar the drinks were made differently. We got a blue Hawaiian made 3 different ways on the same boat! No music playing in bars. All the food tasted the same, very ...

Carnival doesn't do well with bigger ships

For our first cruise with Carnival, we decided to go with a bigger, newer ship and landed on the Celebration. Previously cruising on a mid size ship with NCL, we noticed the differences immediately. This main point of this review is the poor ship design and how inefficient Carnival is with larger ships. We spoke with many guest who have sailed with Royal Caribbean and all of them said that ...
