Just got off the Celebration, best ship ever. Try it folks, you won't be disappointed. The Serenity pool and hot tub was wonderful. The food, entertainment, room, food was Great. I can't say one bad thing about the Celebration
Thanks for pronouncing the restaurant names properly. It made me feel old when other you tubers said festival or festivallEE. LOL... how do they not remember those wonderful ships Carnivale and Festivale. As a kid I used to dream about cruising on them one day. 😊
Thanks for a thorough and well narrated tour! Your voice is clear and soothing. Circa minute 1:05:00, this interactive screen technology is the most fascinating development that I have every seen with these screens! That is a very educational addition to the usual features of deckplans, where you are, where your room is, and how to go from where you are to where you want to go on the ship. Kudos to Carnival cruiseline for taking this technology to a much higher level of fun and information. It just proves that there is no end to the possibilities to make cruise-ships better for the guests' experience....and that even veteran travellers can find new delights decade by decade.
this is a great tour, i love the deck plans while you show the ship :) PS the medical center is deck 3 not deck 0. Deck 0 is the engine room and fuel tanks
Our trip is towards the end of the year so we found this video an excellent resource to get familiar with the ship. I've watched this enough times now to feel like I've been on the cruise already. In fact, I mentioned this to my wife, suggesting that we can save a few thousand dollars and not go. She's not having it. So... happy wife, happy life, and a-sailing we shall go.
i believe Part of the reason why this video was so great, was taking the time to do voiceover. That way you were able to point out all the different intricacies as you walked along and pointed out things with the happy hand 🖐️ 😊
FINALLY! I have been looking at these ship tours to see where we access the ship from the Spa rooms on Deck 17 and no one addressed it! Thank you for FINALLY letting me know! I can rest easy now....whew.... :)
I’ve watched so many ship tours and we keep coming back to Nog Vlog. These are the best. The deck plan is where it’s at. We’ve watched this video a dozen times. 🎉❤
Thank you for the great video. I love the map and pointer. I am on the Celebration Nov 26 and your videos helped a lot. I cant wait to see your video on the Jubilee.
I’ve seen some ship Tours, but this is by far the best I ever seen ! it was done so well an intimate! and i love the Happy hand 🖐️ it was a Great Tool!
Awesome video! I was in a live with other cruise vloggers the other night, and we were discussing how innovative this video was with real-time GPS. Great Job!
This is actually so helpful I was on Carnival Elation in 2022 in December and this year 2023 I will be going on the Carnival Celebration with my whole family this tour is really helpful.
Wonderful tour, best one that I have seen so far for the Celebration. Very informative and a lot of helpful hints that we will be sure to take with us on our upcoming cruise in April aboard the Celebration. Thank you so much for putting this video together ❤.
Thanks for the tour, nice video. I am sailing on Celebration Feb 5th/23 with my gf and my Dad. This will be his first ever cruise. I sailed on Liberty before.
LOVE your tours! So informative. I'm a very visual person and your tour allowed me to see it all! We are deciding between the Celebration and the Vista....I watched both of your tours. Thoughts on your favorite between the two?
Celebration for sure! Vista had some pretty cramped areas, especially the casino if that is your thing. Know you can still have fun on both, of course!
Great video. I'm going to mari gras late summer. And I know the celebration is the same concept. Love the navigation knowing where every place are in the ship. ❤
Great tour! Moving map display is a big help, have to watch that in detail to learn ship layout. Thanks!❤ . You guys do well thought out videos. My goodness that latitudes bar area wow. And the glass staircase, and on and on wow. I know I need to book this ship but I also am waiting for the Jubilee to come to Galveston first.
Thank you!! We are excited for Jubilee too! Sadly we were part of its delay cancellations, so have to decide best/safest reschedule timing. Leaning towards Valentine’s + spa room + leaving the kiddo with grandma 😂 💘
@@NogVlog Nice! Spa cabins are so relaxing. We already booked the Dream spa cabin around that same time frame. We'll work something out on Jubilee, probably later. Need to get better at reading my calendar 😂.
Thank you for this! I've been trying to find a video that really shows us deck 17. We are in one of the forward spa rooms on deck 17. So sad that they didn't put in doors to go right out and that we have to go up or down to go to the middle. However, after all the cruise food we can certainly use the stairs! Thanks for such a great tour!
We’re booked in one of those spa balcony cabins on 17 for our May 2024 cruise and we’re a bit concerned over the inconvenience of having to go up and down or down and then up just to go out on deck 17 seems like a hassle
January 19, 2025, which is in a couple weeks I’ll be going with my friends to the carnival celebration. We’re staying on the fourth floor. Handicap room.. Happy sailing! 🛳️
Looking forward to our cruise in October 2023. Staying in a Havana cabin. The tour was fantastic. Thank you. Only wondering why they don't have console games for old people like me. :)
Cucina del Capitano is included, no extra charge. So is ChiBang and Guys Pig & Anchor Smokehouse, as included sit-down/dinner alternatives to the main dinning room
My wife and I love this Ship Tour, the best out there, Thank you! For the Bolt ans Rope Course, when we can reserve for that ? As soon we are on board? Every day at midnight?
Very well done I think you found you calling YOU NEED TO DO REAL ESTATE HOUSE TOUR YOU WOULD DO REALLY WELL work with a few realtors you probably already do really well lol
I would say the similarities and differences are no same nor different than comparing any prior sister-ships of older classes of ships (Breeze to Magic or Vista to Horizon, for example). The Gateway and 820 Biscayne obviously really stand out as different than what you get in those same spots on Mardi Gras (never sailed, but watched enough vlogs to see).
Hi Lance, any idea if there is a deck on this ship that allows you to go all the way to the front of the ship enjoy the outside forward view without the protective windbreaker glass panels as you have shown on decks 18 and 19?
We were originally on Thanksgiving week 2023 but that was canceled due to the ship delivery delay. We haven't decided yet on what to reschedule to but it won't be the new first sailing 😢. We are eyeballing the Valentine's day sailing week actually and just Brandy and Lance going, but we will wait for a good offer from Carnival this spring to up the OBC before rebooking (we used the cancelation credit towards another sailing already).
My pvp is saying cucina, pig and anchor, and chibang aren't included in cruise fare. Does anyone have more info on this? I booked my dining times based on the fact that they were included
They are wrong. For the Mardi Gras and this ship they were originally going to be additional costs, but offered as included for their “inaugural seasons”. However, the MDRs wouldn’t be able to handle the load of passengers if they reverted these to additional cost venues (may have been the plan all along and they just framed it differently). Note that you need Your Time Dining to be able to reserve these venues when they first open each night. Cabins with set dining times can’t reserve these three until after 7:30pm.
No, only Havana stateroom guests can enter the Havana pool deck area now. They no longer allow non-Havana stateroom guests to use that area at nighttime.
Nope that is part of our production of the video, it has nothing to do with their app. The Carnival HUB app does have deck by deck plans with markers indicating venues, but its nothing special.
It’s that whole starboard outside area from Bar 820 forward to the “hump”. 9337 is on the other side of the hump, exactly above the center of the Havana Pool. You can see part of it at 25:29
I just on this ship for three weeks well the food is shit and too many people on this ship if you would like to get in a hot tub need to get in one at 8:30 am .
The screens retract down into the floor and during the day its 3 stories of beautiful ocean views! But the seating for the shows still is poor if you don't snag a good spot.
All the plexi glass on the arcade games so you can’t play them right was so annoying. Like they put it right where you’re supposed to throw the balls. So what they bounce back, it’s how it is. I wish they’d take them off.
I really liked your video. Except I could not watch very long as the constant swinging around and jerking side to side of the camera made me dizzy. FYI
You and me both, imagine producing this long thing!! Seriously though, it's a big ship and all our other ship tours we keep under an hour. This was the best we could do and despite its length I'm confident its the best one out there for the Celebration. You can always watch it in pieces as needed 😁. Thanks for the feedback either way!

Thanks! Yes my fitbit overheats on these trips!
That was a 5 star tour!!!! My son loved watching the tour of the Cirlce C and arcade! Can't wait for our Celebration July cruise!
Thanks, yes their area is really cool on this ship!

Thanks for watching. Y'all have fun!
Best tour I've seen so far! I sail at the end of May 2023.
We agree, happy sailing!!
The best tour video. It really gives you perspective on where things are in accordance to where major points of the boat are. Great job!!
Nailed it! Thanks for watching!
This was my first time watching your videos and your ship tours are phenomenal. Please keep these coming in the future!!
Thanks so very much! No stopping, we have a few in the chamber 😉

Just like Mardi Gras mmm
I would say the similarities and differences are no same nor different than comparing any prior sister-ships of older classes of ships (Breeze to Magic or Vista to Horizon, for example). The Gateway and 820 Biscayne obviously really stand out as different than what you get in those same spots on Mardi Gras (never sailed, but watched enough vlogs to see).
@@NogVlog I’ll be celebrating on august!
When we were on the Mardi Gras last March i was shocked, neither of the pools we got in, nor the one hot tub we checked out were salt water!
Interesting
Planning for Dec 2026 on the celebration
Hi Lance, any idea if there is a deck on this ship that allows you to go all the way to the front of the ship enjoy the outside forward view without the protective windbreaker glass panels as you have shown on decks 18 and 19?
great vlog!! how are the elevators on the celebration different from ships with the touch screens? i couldn’t get a good look
Pretty standard, nothing special outside they have glass doors so don’t be doing anything you shouldn’t while waiting for one 😉 😂
@@NogVlog gotcha!!😂😅
whatever Carnival Do in the future I hope they never re-create the Vista class ships again☹️😢 That was the worst and so is the elevator system
Will be on the Jubilee Feb 3-10 2024, when is Nog Vlog sailing on her?
We were originally on Thanksgiving week 2023 but that was canceled due to the ship delivery delay. We haven't decided yet on what to reschedule to but it won't be the new first sailing 😢. We are eyeballing the Valentine's day sailing week actually and just Brandy and Lance going, but we will wait for a good offer from Carnival this spring to up the OBC before rebooking (we used the cancelation credit towards another sailing already).

is there a coin pusher machine in the casino?
Not that I saw or can see from any of our raw footage. Two cash grab claw machines, but no coin pushers.
The party doesn't start til the Mickey hand comes out!
🎉👆🥳
i was at the carnival vista some years ago, do you know if the pool of the havana, still allow all guest at night?
No, only Havana stateroom guests can enter the Havana pool deck area now. They no longer allow non-Havana stateroom guests to use that area at nighttime.

39:50 to help pass the time your on a cruise come on
Lol it aint that deep
How big of an area is the smoking section off deck 8. We are in 9337 and afraid we will smell the smoke on the balcony.
It’s that whole starboard outside area from Bar 820 forward to the “hump”. 9337 is on the other side of the hump, exactly above the center of the Havana Pool. You can see part of it at 25:29
There is no smoking there though!
Oasis of the seas.
Wendy’s drive thru.
5:40 I'd call them broken eggs
It’s gotta be ocean-themed 😆
I enjoy a cigarette, good to see the smoking sections. I'm hoping there are smoking cabins too 🙏🏻
I just on this ship for three weeks well the food is shit and too many people on this ship if you would like to get in a hot tub need to get in one at 8:30 am .
Deck 12
The meaty part of the ship!
The adult area should be change to 18 years and older. On carnival ships.
Sailing in June 2025.
Great tour. nice ship with very bad design. how dumb to put a loud entertainment venue in the atrium of the ship... block the windows with a stage.
The screens retract down into the floor and during the day its 3 stories of beautiful ocean views! But the seating for the shows still is poor if you don't snag a good spot.
@@NogVlog they should have a nice peaceful place mid ship like the atrium to relax. Such a bad idea all around.

I really liked your video. Except I could not watch very long as the constant swinging around and jerking side to side of the camera made me dizzy. FYI
But that is what it feels like at sea, so...
Too long!! I would have enjoyed it more if it were about 30 minutes shorter as my attention kept drifting away
You and me both, imagine producing this long thing!! Seriously though, it's a big ship and all our other ship tours we keep under an hour. This was the best we could do and despite its length I'm confident its the best one out there for the Celebration. You can always watch it in pieces as needed 😁. Thanks for the feedback either way!
It’s a great video especially with having the short cuts to the different chapters/decks which made navigating easy
