Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm going to share my hot take here of what I'm seeing because it's really eye opening in some cases of what Carnival has done with this island.

One thing that I noticed that Carnival did that I think is a mistake is their trams are for only one half of the island.

By far the two things that really jumped out to me about Celebration Key is the fact there's not unlimited food and the drink packages don't work here.

I think this is a terrible idea. I mean, this is a terrible precedent.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Hustle off the ship to make an 11:30 a.m. flight after a 6:00 a.m. arrival.
