The second Excel-class ship, Carnival Celebration entered service in 2022 for Carnival's 50th anniversary. It is based in Miami year-round and alternates seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries. Like Mardi Gras, it is divided into themed zones and features the BOLT roller coaster, a water park, and numerous specialty restaurants. Miami's convenient airport access makes flights from Japan and transfers to the port relatively easy. Itineraries often include the private Bahamian destination Celebration Key, where Carnival facilities are also available. This is a key feature of the current Carnival fleet.
