Carnival Celebration Easter Eggs Tour

Key Takeaways

• Most of the Easter eggs in this video are in the Golden Jubilee bar and lounge, so that’s the place to start looking.
• The curved, etched wall framed in brass and mahogany is a bulkhead that was originally on Carnival’s very first ship, the Mardi Gras.
• Look for the old telegraph that once sent orders from the bridge to the engine room. This one used to be on the port side bridge wing of the Carnivale, which was built in 1955.
• The polished brass and etched glass doors at the Golden Jubilee used to lead partygoers into a nightclub on one of Carnival’s early ships.
• If you sailed on Carnival Fascination, the tabletops may look familiar: they feature scenes from classic American movies sketched by artist Al Hirschfeld.
• The chairs at those tables are exact replicas of the ones from the old Riverboat Lounge.
• There’s a shipbuilder plate from the first ship to carry the Celebration name, the original MS Celebration, though it’s a little hard to find.
• The maple leaf design in the Golden Jubilee floor is a nod to the Mardi Gras, which started out as Canadian Pacific’s Empress of Canada.

Good to Know

Carnival Celebration launched in November 2022 and is one of Carnival’s largest ships. A lot of what makes it special for longtime cruisers are these small pieces of history, so it’s worth slowing down when you walk through the Golden Jubilee instead of just grabbing a drink and moving on.

Some of these are easy to spot, like the brass doors and the curved bulkhead wall, but others take a little hunting. The shipbuilder plate from the original Celebration is the trickiest one in the video, so keep your eyes open.

If you’ve sailed on some of Carnival’s older ships, you’ll probably get the biggest kick out of this. Have a seat at one of the movie tabletops and see if you remember them from Fascination.
