We sailed Celebration in April and overall loved her! Cons elevators - we learned to just go down the room corridors to forward or aft elevators central show area - almost impossible to get a seat or standing place with a view pools were crazy cold Pros So many dining options it's hard to fit them in so many different seating areas, pool areas, multiple points of access to lido dining - deals with crowds well two comedy venues best pizza I've had at sea She's beautiful embarkation and debarkation were great Bolt is so fun shower pressure was perfect

We were on the Celebration in April, called room service the night before and gave them our order.

We called the night before and ordered breakfast room service with a planned time. It was really simple and well executed.

No idea why Native Choice isn’t responding. We did the excursion with the lunch and the lagoon. The resort had facilities and you could get kayaks, etc. As was referenced earlier, the resort website isn’t functioning. Some on the excursion with us had been to the resort previously and had been told that their bungalows and the resort as a standalone wasn’t reopening. It seemed Native Choice excursions were the only ones going there. It is a beautiful place. But the day we were there there were less than 10 visitors.

We did an excursion with them in April. Did the Mayan lunch and the lagoon. It is gorgeous, but definitely take some water shoes. We ended up with only an hour there so no time for kayaking.

We were just there with Native Choice. From what I understood, the resort itself isn't reopening. Seems to only be available through Native Choice. We did it along with the Mayan Village and lunch trip.

Just back from Mr. Sanchos. They have a designated smoking area with tables at the back of the establishment. My husband loves smoking a cigar on the beach and this really detracted from his experience. They did have drinks served to them back there, but it's by the bathrooms so not a great location but well shaded.

We were just there mid April, and they had a really nice selection of the carvings, shirts, and lots of other things. I did not check tequila and vanilla because I wasn't shopping for those.

The Pain Reliefs at Alchemy were so good!

Went on Celebration mid-April, and this was our 7th Carnival cruise. I did not feel crowded at all. The pools on deck 8 and 16 in the front of the ship we always found chairs close to the pool. Pizza line was LONG the first night but better after that. Elevators can be a challenge. We learned to walk through the corridors to the aft elevators. But overall they have so many areas spread all over the ship, it's easily manageable!

We were on the cruise right before yours. Agree completely with the Center Stage issues as well as the pool and elevators! The pools were ice cold, and the elevators a long wait. Enjoyed all the dining options and the additional comedy venue!

I was on this same cruise! Look forward to your review.

This is our first cruise post Covid, and we are on the 4/16 cruise with late dining. I've seen references in reviews that indicate late dining is locked out of reservations at the other restaurants until after a certain time, but can't find any info from Carnival about that. Can anyone clarify for me what to expect? We look forward to trying the variety of restaurants outside of the MDR. We do have the steakhouse reserved for our last night. Thanks!

I've sailed on both classes of ship, and definitely prefer the Conquest class, but the Elation has 5 days rather than 4 day cruises. The Liberty and Freedom seem basically the same, but having been on none of these, are there recommendations for which to choose? TIA! Lori
