Carnival Celebration

[amrstack]

We are booked on the Celebration March 31 - yippee! First cruise! I have been seeing pretty good posts about this ship, but I also saw something about the last cruise being April 14? Is this ship leaving Carnival's fleet? If so, do we need to worry about the service?

I wouldn't worry about the service. They still need to meet Carnival standards. You'll have a great time.

The ship's future was not announced, but it is one of the two oldest Carnival ships (the other being the Holiday sailing from Mobile). They are replacing it in Jacksonville with a larger, Fantasy class ship, the Carnival Fascination starting in September 08. Fascination has had an internal refurbishment, and is scheduled for a complete reworking of the pool area and adding an adults only area aft, probably before September.

They are then bringing the Carnival Destiny back from San Juan and replacing the Fascination in Miami, providing the largest ship doing 5 day cruises from Miami.
