Trip Bacon β€” The secret ingredient to the perfect getaway logo

Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators provide a comprehensive review of their May 2023 sailing on the Carnival Celebration, covering destinations, accommodations, dining, entertainment, and service. They describe their itinerary through Costa Maya, Mahogany Bay, and Cozumel, noting that while the ports were enjoyable, some destinations felt crowded. The reviewers praise their balcony cabin for its modern aesthetic, ample USB ports, and high-quality closet space, though they mention the split mattress design and the lack of a rainfall showerhead. Dining experiences varied significantly; they highly recommend the Bonsai Teppanyaki and the main dining room's teriyaki salmon, but expressed disappointment with the Shebang chocolate dessert and certain pasta dishes. Entertainment included the Love and Marriage show and a high-energy roller coaster, though they noted issues with seating visibility in certain areas. While they observed that the ship appeared understaffed, they noted that the crew maintained positive attitudes. Despite minor logistical issues like slow elevators and automatic bathroom doors, both creators conclude that they would sail on the ship again due to the overall atmosphere and vibrant celebration.
