CARNIVAL CELEBRATION SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES SEA TRIALS AHEAD OF DEBUT AT PORTMIAMI IN NOVEMBER
MIAMI β Sept.14, 2022 β Carnival Cruise Lineβs newest ship, Carnival Celebration, is one more milestone closer to her highly-anticipated debut in her homeport of PortMiami after successfully completing sea trials in the Baltic Sea.
Carnival CelebrationΒ set sail on her first round of sea trials Monday, September 5, from Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland, the same shipyard where Celebrationβs sister ship,Β Mardi Gras, was built. Carnival Celebration had a full contingent of officers, technicians and engineers on board to thoroughly test the shipβs technical, mechanical and navigational systems.
βDuring her sea trials, Carnival Celebration underwent several tests, which are meant to determine the shipβs capability and her performance. Weβve done many maneuvering tests, such as endurance tests, steering tests, speed tests and thrusters tests. The ship performed wonderfully, and shortly, we will get her out and start cruising,β said Capt. Vincenzo Alcaras.
Carnival Celebrationβs arrival to Miami will continue the cruise lineβs 50th birthday celebration. The ship will feature several unique zones, including 820 Biscayne β a tribute to Miami, where Carnival Cruise Line was born, showcasing styles and flavors of the 305.
Celebration will also include many of the features that made Mardi Gras one of the most anticipated cruise ships, including BOLT: Ultimate Sea Coaster, the first roller coaster at sea, an atrium spanning three decks and guest-favorites like Guyβs Pig & Anchor Smokehouse, and Shaquille OβNealβs Big Chicken restaurant.
Following an inaugural 6-day voyage to the Eastern Caribbean, Carnival Celebration will launch year-round, seven-day cruises to the Eastern and Western Caribbean from PortMiami beginning Nov. 21. The week-long voyages will visit destinations like San Juan, Puerto Rico, Cozumel, Mexico and Grand Turk.
