Editorial Summary

The creators provide a comprehensive tour of Celebration Key, Carnival Cruise Line's new exclusive destination in the Bahamas. The tour begins at the pier and moves through several distinct areas, including Paradise Plaza, the shopping district in Lacona Cove, and the family oriented Starfish Lagoon. The creators highlight various amenities such as water slides, large lagoons, cabanas with varying price points, and sports complexes featuring pickleball and volleyball. They also explore dining options, noting that some meals are complimentary via the Island Eats voucher while others require an upcharge. The tour continues to the Calypso Lagoon, which features a swim up bar and a more adult friendly atmosphere, before concluding at Pearl Cove, an adults only beach club with an infinity pool and upscale dining. Throughout the video, the creators observe that while many facilities are operational, some shops and venues remain under construction or close earlier than the ship's departure time. They conclude by showcasing the local shopping district and the availability of ground transportation for guests wishing to leave the island.

Creator's Key Takeaways

So, we just stepped off this brand new pier. It's about a 6 to 10 minute walk to the Asho Island, but if you need a little assistance, they do have trams.

And yes, that is a 10story sand castle. So, yes, this is currently set up for one pier right now that can hold two ships.

The kayaks are 34 single kayaks. Single kayaks would be $29.99 these ones here.

The ship does not leave until 5:30, but they actually closed the bar at 4:00 and there was no announcement for live for last call.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring sunscreen and a towel, and use water bottle refill stations.
Check online and apps for cabana sales and pricing.
Use trams for assistance if needed, as the island is large.
