Creator's Key Takeaways

We've done at least 70 nights on crew on Carnival and I have met a rude one yet.

The celebration we felt always had something going on. It was always these pop out events...

We definitely believe it's for the first time cruiser.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a spa balcony room if cruising in summer to avoid children.
Try the Chipotle Honey wings and Potato Tornado at All Things Wings.
Get the Ringer burger (with onion rings) at Guy's Burger Joint.
Check out Pearl Cove Beach Club at Celebration Key for an adults-only experience.
Book the steakhouse on Day 1 to get a free bottle of wine.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Finding entertainment on the shipGo to scheduled venues like comedy club and theater; the ship is less spontaneous than Celebration.
Crowds at Celebration Key food trucksPay attention to the separate kiosks for each truck to avoid confusion.
