Creator's Key Takeaways

Carnival Cruise Line is among the world's most popular lines, and there's plenty to know before you sail that most people simply don't share.

Carnival's oldest ship, Carnival Sunshine, it dates back to 1996. Other ships date to 98. That's nearly 30 years old, which in cruising is a lifetime.

Celebration Key is Carnival's new private destination. I recently went and it was pretty nice if you're looking for a pool and a beach day.

Carnival is known as a family cruise line, but did you know they also offer adults only trips? They're rare and they're not widely advertised, but it is true.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Check the beer station in the buffet for cheaper beer at 50 cents per ounce.
βœ“Break up your day at Celebration Key into two visits to avoid heat and humidity.
βœ“Look for power hour in the daily planner for half-priced arcade games.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Ship crowding β€” Use space ratio (Carnival ships are 33-35 range) and note that crowding is often a design issue on newer ships.
Drink package limits β€” The package includes only 15 alcoholic drinks per day; non-alcoholic drinks are not counted.
Loyalty program changes β€” New program based on spending rather than nights sailed; occasional cruisers will find it harder to maintain status.
