Cool things onboard Carnival Celebration
I’ll put the location in a summary at the bottom incase you prefer to make a list and see if you can find them on your own.
1. Flamingos
These handsome critters are just waiting to have their photos taken.

2. Army truck ice cream station
While there are several different places to find soft serve ice cream and frozen yogurt on the Celebration, you have to find the Army truck. This is definitely the coolest ice cream station at sea.
There are 2 flavors of soft-serve ice cream and 2 froyo or you can have a swirl (combo of the 2 flavors).


3. Old fashioned car
Look closely at this beauty, this was a popular duck hiding spot on our sailing. I found 2 in one day here.

4. Coins
Many cruise ships have coins hidden somewhere on the ship. Be on the look out for the Carnival Celebration coins.

5. Cruise ship replica
This is so impressive. The level of detail in this is just incredible, check out the chairs and even plants.


6. Ship control thing
Okay, so not the technical word. I don’t know the actual name, but thought it was cool.

7. Interactive map
At first it looks like a poster, but it is an interactive map. You can click on it and it shows where the Celebration crew members are fun.

8. Clock shining on the floor
Another thing I don’t know what exactly to call it 🙂 And yes, it stood there long enough to watch it move 🙂

9. Plant wall
I love the look of this. It instantly gives off a calming and relaxing feeling.

10. Outdoor TVs
When you explore the Carnival Celebration, you will find 2 outdoor seating areas with TVs showing different sporting events. It is nice touch.

11. Shaquille O’Neal’s hand prints
Be on the look out for Shaq’s hand prints.

12. Miami postcard
It will be easy to spot the large Miami postcard on the Celebration. This is a popular photo opportunity spot.

13. Bolt
There is a Bolt sea coaster car that isn’t part of the ride itself. See if you can find that. And by the way, the Bolt is a must ride. You can read more about the Carnival Celebration Bolt here.

Be sure to explore the ship, especially decks 6, 7, and 8. It is a beautiful ship with such attention to detail.
