The Old Carnival Celebration!

Many probably already know, but Carnival's old M/S Celebration is now sailing again from Palm Beach, Florida, as the Grand Celebration (Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line). The ship does two night voyages to Freeport.

I have a few pictures of the ship's exterior to share.

A Few Similarities and Differences To The Old Celebration: If you look at the photos carefully you will notice the funnel is just a painted Carnival whale tail and on the side of the ship you can see markings of where the old Carnival logo used to be. The ship's red stripe is also long gone. I have had fun zooming in on these photos on my computer looking for similarities to when the ship was the M/S Celebration for Carnival. Enjoy!

Looks different from the old days. Thanks for sharing.

The MS Celebration Started us cruising in November of 1988. It was a great Vacation and 41 cruises later we still have fond memories of our very first cruise.

This was my DW and I first cruise also, back in 1996 for us!! :)

Ah, memories! We sailed the Celebration out of Jax in 2004. It was my favorite Carnival ship.

i'm surprised they let it keep the whale tail.

The Celebration was our first cruise ship in January 1990 on a trip to the eastern Caribbean - have been cruising most years since

Any reason why you don't just post the pictures to the thread, or are you just fishing for people to go to your site?

I don't know how to post pictures to threads. Each time I try they publish with a small red X. I am not fishing for people to visit my site. This hurts my site data because most people will quickly come visit my site and this decreases my stats for the amount of time people are online and lowers my page viewing average.

The moderator must have not had a problem as he or she has now moved this thread to a different section of the site. If they had a problem this would have been deleted or I would have received a guideline reminder. You can post blogs on CC as long as they are hobby sites and they do not make any money. I meet both of those categories.

Have a great weekend!

I saw from your signature that you cruised the Dream last year. Was that the reposition from Port Canaveral to New Orleans cruise?

The Celebration was my first time on a Carnival ship during 1994. I was very impressed by the ship and the activities onboard.

This was my first cruise. Went out of New Orleans sometime in 1997, I believe. I was only 14 years old or so. Only thing I remember about the ship is this karaoke bar with little clouds on the tables I thought was cool. I also remember a New Orleans streetcar-style bar. Also a weird vague memory of hating the maitre'd (spelling?) of all people.

My first cruise in 2000. Such a great time and great ship! We cruised her out of Galveston.
