Creator's Key Takeaways

Celebration Key is beautiful. It's colorful. It's easy to access from the ship, and there are plenty of ways to enjoy your day here.

One of the most controversial things about Celebration Key is that the all the food is not included on this island, and your drink package does not work.

The good news is you don't need a strict itinerary, but I do think you need to have a loose plan before getting off the ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Have a loose plan before getting off the ship to avoid wandering aimlessly.
Bring a reusable water bottle to use the included water stations.
Bring a portable phone charger and a waterproof pouch for your phone and Sign & Sail card.
Plan meal times outside of the 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM rush to avoid long lines.
Bring your own towel from the ship.

YouTube Video Description

Before you step off the ship at Carnival’s Celebration Key, there are a few things you should know that can make your day a lot easier. In this video, I’m sharing a first-timers guide to Celebration Key, including quick facts about Carnival’s private destination in Grand Bahama, a simple overview of the main areas, what to bring off the ship, what to know about food and drinks, and how I would plan an easy adult-focused day with lagoon time, a snack, lunch back on the ship, and beach time with the ship in view. Celebration Key is beautiful, colorful, and easy to enjoy, but it helps to know the layout and have a loose plan before you go. You do not need a strict itinerary, but knowing what kind of day you want can help you spend less time wandering and more time enjoying your cruise day.
