Welcome to our group page!
 
If you missed the last few years that we have done our cruise, you have missed out on a wonderful time... We travel together, we party, we dance, we eat and we explore the different ports that we visit during our cruise.
 
You can see some of the videos and photos from our last cruise in 2024 and we are going to have even more fun.
 
Here is a little information about our ship that we will be cruising on...
 

CARNIVAL CELEBRATION: GREAT FUN TOGETHER, ALL POWERED BY LNG - First stated sailing in 2022

You know, it’s hard work making effortlessly-fun vacations.

That’s why we’re looking forward to kicking back with you on the new Carnival Celebration as we toast to the last 50 years. So please bring that unique Carnival spirit... and know that this ship’s bringing the fun. Just like sister ship Mardi Gras®, Carnival Celebration has six Zones — themed areas that bring together incredible experiences and flavor. New flavors you haven’t experienced yet — nobody has! — are heating up at Latitudes™The Golden Jubilee™ and Emeril’s Bistro 1397™. (Mmm, new Emeril.) Carnival Celebration also marks the return of innovations like BOLT® — our onboard rollercoaster, Bonsai Teppanyaki™RedFrog® Tiki BarFamily Feud™ LiveHavana Bar™Seuss at Sea™, and Playlist Productions™. Perhaps best of all, all the fun you’ll have on Carnival Celebration is powered by clean LNG fuel!

Should a guest not be satisfied with the service they receive, they can contact the Guest Services desk while on board. This will allow us to address their concerns in a timely and appropriate fashion. At the discretion of the guest, gratuities may be adjusted after they have been posted on the guest's account, while on board.
