Creator's Key Takeaways

Celebration Key is split into five portals. Starfish Lagoon, Calypso Lagoon, Paradise Plaza, Locono Cove, and Pearl Cove Beach Club.

Carnival's drink packages don't work at Celebration Key, so you'll want to save extra if you plan to drink while ashore.

I thought the price was relatively reasonable for unlimited rides throughout the day.

I really enjoyed my time overall and I can't wait to plan another visit back.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Disembark early at Celebration Key to get the best seats at the lagoon or beach.
βœ“Bring sunscreen with you as prices ashore are going to be high.
βœ“Eat at the food trucks to get ahead of the crowds and enjoy complimentary options.

Finding a good spot on the beach or lagoon β€” Arrive early if you want a chair close to the water in a prime location.
Cost of extra activities and dining β€” Complimentary food is satisfactory, but upcharge restaurants offer alternatives; Carnival gives 25% off one entree.
