Creator's Key Takeaways

we sailed on the Carnival celebration recently and we had a blast discovering all the hidden secrets throughout the ship

the best dessert on the Carnival celebration isn't found in the buffet the main dining room or even in one of the extra charged specialty restaurants nope it can be found at the pig and anchor barbecue

the best part you can order it to go and bring it back to your stateroom to enjoy later

the pool is in constant shade and the water never had a chance to warm up this is a huge design flaw in my opinion

βœ“Use the AFT elevators on port days to avoid crowds
βœ“Try the breakfast buffet at Pig and Anchor for a less crowded option
