For the First Time, Three Carnival Cruise Line Ships Visit Celebration Key in a Matter of Hours
Friday, Nov. 21 marked an exciting milestone for Celebration Key. Three Carnival Cruise Line ships visited for the first time, all docking within six hours of each other.
Carnival Pride set the tone early, basking in the Bahamian sun for the first half of the day. Mardi Gras sailed in shortly thereafter to enjoy its own time in the sun for a couple hours that day. As Carnival Pride departed the island that afternoon, setting sail for its homeport of Baltimore, Md., Carnival Elation coasted in to port to keep the party going. It was a perfectly choreographed dance of ships!
With multiple ships now able to call on the same day, we’re opening the door for more cruisers to discover the beauty of Celebration Key – making those special moments in paradise possible for even more Carnival Cruise Line guests.
Celebration Key opened on Grand Bahama island in July 2025, after years of excited anticipation. From its mile-long white sand beach to its towering Suncastle with racing waterslides, the destination is redefining what a day in paradise looks like.
