JAYRAY1259 Posted September 23, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 23, 2009 The wife and I sailed on the Celebration on our 1st cruise which was our 25th Wedding Anniversary. We went with 2 other couples who were also celebrating their 25th Anniversarys all in the same week. We grew up together. As you can see we have fond memories of that cruise which was 8-10-91, San Juan, St Thomas, St. Martin's. We have since done a lot of cruising but We always think back to that cruise. Does anyone have any news of her whereabouts and any recent photo's? We are leaving on Nov. 1st on the Freedom of the Seas. Western Caribbean. That's about 4 times the size of the Celebration. We had a great time on that first cruise though. Thanks for any feedback Joe & Libby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As part of the refurb, they painted the funnel black. The Celebration was our first cruise back in 96, and only have very special and fond memories of her.

navybaby1113 Posted September 25, 2009 #7 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I was on one of her sailings in 2008. She was our first cruise. Loved the intimacy of the ship. Here's a couple pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjamxx Posted September 25, 2009 #10 Share Posted September 25, 2009 The Celebration in 1997, out of New Orleans, was our first cruise. We were told, get an inside cabin because" You never spend any time in your cabin" Well we went from inside to Ocean view to Balcony. And now 12 years later our next cruise is on the Carnival Triumph 11/21/2009 in a Balcony cabin. It will be our 6th Carnival cruise. We have also been on NCL Sun out of New Orleans. We have also cruised on the old Commodore cruise line out of New Orleans. Cruise to no where, western Carribean, etc, Anyone remember this ship??: JimmyJames PS> This picture is a scan from a postcard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momoftwins2 Posted September 25, 2009 #12 Share Posted September 25, 2009 My very 1st cruise I ever went on was on the Celebration (Oct 1, 1994). And to think, I thought that ship was huge!! LOL I never could imagine then how big the ships would have grown since then. :eek: But that cruise got me hooked, no turning back now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I never could imagine then how big the ships would have grown since then. :eek: But that cruise got me hooked, no turning back now lol My thoughts exactly. She was our first and as we walked up to her (we arrived 4 hours before check in), we were amazed by her size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearlyCruiser Posted September 25, 2009 #17 Share Posted September 25, 2009 This ship was my first cruise also and I still think the best out of the 12 I have been on. This ship had character that the other ships are so lacking of these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the Caribe, in an early version before they finally put the original funnel back on her. Lots of fun on these old ships....and adventure too.
