About Carnival Celebration
Carnival Celebration is the second Excel-class ship, built by Meyer Turku and completed in November 2022. Unlike Mardi Gras she carries the Carnival prefix, and her name honors the line's earlier Celebration of 1987. At about 183,500 gross tons she has room for some 5,370 guests in six themed zones, with the BOLT roller coaster, Latitudes, The Golden Jubilee and Emeril's Bistro 1397 among her venues. Like her sisters she runs on LNG. She sails Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises from Miami.
