Celebration was built in Sweden in 1987. This is the third in the series that Carnival once called “Super Liners”. Compared to today’s ships, they are far from super, in fact, many refer to them as small! How times do change the way we view things! Celebration was the first ship to which Kathie Lee Gifford was appointed Godmother, (the other being Ecstasy.). Celebration continued the tradition begun by her two sisters, of a single, wide promenade, which, becomes the boulevard for each evenings activities. Every Carnival ship has its own particular bit of whimsy, On Celebration, it happens to be a trolley car, parked outside of the casino! It’s a fun design, but will provide what is far from a traditional cruise experience!

Celebration was the subject of some negative publicity after catching fire and losing all power. It was the Ecstasy that came to her rescue, removing passengers for the return trip to Miami
