Creator's Key Takeaways
We opened up Celebration Key to the local community. So, we had a number of the Bahamian government officials, all of our employees, their families, and um others that came and did a test run.
We've been told everything's working just great. But if you saw the letter in your cabin, remember we are the first real guests that will be coming from the ship.
We've also got a exclusive beach club with the infinity pool. We've got this huge lagoon and then different sections which we've been announcing.
The program doesn't start until June 1 of 2026. And yes, we decided to announce a year in advance so that we really would have time for everybody to know what change was coming.
