Creator's Key Takeaways

We just got back last night from an 8-day cruise on board Carnival Vista, where we were among the first guests to visit Carnival's new exclusive destination, Celebration Key.

Celebration Key is not a cruise line private island, at least not in the way that we're used to thinking about private islands.

Approximately 1,200 local people are employed and work at Celebration Key.

So, yes, you can spend your day at Celebration Key without spending any money.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Plan ahead and have a good breakfast before getting off the cruise ship.
βœ“Bring a refillable water bottle to fill up on the ship.
βœ“Purchase water slide access in advance as it can sell out.
βœ“Choose a couple of areas to stay in rather than trying to explore the whole island.
βœ“Don't stop at the first lagoon or pool; walk further for less crowded spots.
