Creator's Key Takeaways

Celebration Key just wasn't our favorite private island experience.

Not being able to use the Carnival drink package here was kind of a bummer.

The slides themselves were fun, but the lines were extremely long.

It sure is pretty to look at.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Wear comfortable shoes or take the tram for the long pier walk.
✓Sign the waiver for water slides before getting in line.
✓Budget for drinks on the island as drink packages don't work.
✓Look for included dining locations to save money.
✓Visit the Sun Castle early in the morning for fewer crowds.
