## About Celebration Key

Celebration Key is Carnival's private destination on Grand Bahama, built from the ground up for cruise guests. Ships dock right at the pier, so there's no tendering. The island splits into five zones: Starfish Lagoon handles family activities with waterslides and splash pads; Calypso Lagoon has a large swim-up bar and floating cabanas; Pearl Cove Beach Club is adults-only with an infinity pool and its own stretch of beach. A mile-long main beach runs along the front, and the layout keeps walking distances short between everything.

Food comes from local Bahamian vendors selling conch fritters, jerk chicken, and grilled seafood alongside the usual burgers and pizza. Lokono Cove is the shopping area, where Bahamian artisans sell handmade jewellery, rum cakes, and island crafts. Claim your spot by the lagoons early in the day. Murals by local Bahamian artists are scattered throughout, and the signage between zones makes it hard to get lost.
