Behind the scenes on Carnival's new $600 million private cruise island

The countdown has begun to the opening of Carnival Cruise Line 's latest private island.
Celebration Key, based in Grand Bahama, will welcome cruise passengers with an inaugural visit from Carnival Vista on 19 July.
The development of the island cost $600 million (£474 million).
To mark the five-month countdown, Carnival Corporation chief executive officer Josh Weinstein and chief maritime officer Lars Ljoen joined Carnival Cruise Line president Christine Duffy to tour the final stages of the construction.
During the visit, they placed commemorative keys into the 10-storey Suncastle, the centrepiece of the destination's five 'portals', or areas of the island.
Other 'portals' include the Paradise Plaza entrance to the island and the Starfish Lagoon waterslide and sports area.
There is an adult-only Pearl Cove Beach Club featuring daybeds, private cabanas and villas, as well as Calypso Lagoon, which has a large swim-up bar.
Passengers can even get their retail fix at Lokono Cove, a shopping village celebrating Bahamian culture through local art and handmade goods.
Carnival representatives also planted palm trees from its Plant a Tree community engagement programme.
Ms Duffy, who participated in the ceremonial filling of one of two freshwater lagoons – described as the largest in the Caribbean – said: 'Celebration Key represents a new chapter for Carnival and its construction builds on our close partnership with the Bahamas, so seeing it transform from vision to reality is incredible.
'We broke ground on this site less than three years ago and now in five short months we'll see our first guests enjoy the many experiences we created just for them to celebrate and enjoy this gorgeous place on Grand Bahama.'
Celebration Key will be an exclusive port of call on more than 500 itineraries, across 20 ships sailing from 10 US homeports.
Mr Weinstein added: 'This destination will serve as a tribute to the rich Bahamian culture and Grand Bahama's natural environment. It is clear Celebration Key will be a game-changer for our flagship brand and its loyal guests, with endless options for relaxation and recreation, but it's also truly great to see firsthand how we're implementing our company's robust sustainability initiatives on land.'
Carnival Key will become the cruise line's second private island. The destination joins Half Moon Cay, which Carnival Cruise Line shares with sister brand Holland America Line.

Carnival Cruise Line's loyal customers could lose their VIFP status by 2028 due to a new rewards scheme

Carnival Cruise Line has unveiled plans to overhaul its reward scheme in a move that has raised concerns among some loyal passengers. The cruise brand, which is mainly targeted at the US market but has regular summer sailings from Dover in the UK, currently lets passengers earn points under its Very Important Fun Person (VIFP) scheme based on the number of nights sailed. However, a new Carnival Rewards programme will shift the focus to spending and could eventually reset the position of loyal passengers. The change by Carnival Cruise Line is similar to how British Airways changed its tier status last year. The cruise line said Carnival Rewards will offer more opportunities to earn rewards and achieve higher status levels based on spend, including cruise fare and on-board activities such as spa treatments and speciality dining. Rather than focusing on the number of nights travelled, from 1 June 2026 passengers will be able to earn three points for every $1 spent on eligible Carnival purchases, which provides access to rewards such as drinks packages and internet plans. Points will also be earned through everyday spending on the co-branded credit card with Barclays – the Carnival Rewards Mastercard. This is only available in the US, though. All guests can also earn tier status based on a star system. Guests will earn three stars for every $1 spent, which lasts for two years and provides extra perks based on their level, ranging from a bottle of water for the lowest status to early check-in and complimentary laundry at higher levels. Passengers will need a minimum of 10,000 stars to move from the basic red tier to gold, and then 50,000 for platinum status and 100,000 for diamond. But concerns have been raised as the scheme will eventually reset the current status among loyal passengers after a transition period. From 1 June 2026, VIFP members' existing status will carry over and serve as a new entry point into the programme for two years until 31 May 2028. Diamond members will retain their status for a six-year period until 31 May 2032. This essentially means all passengers, regardless of their current level, will eventually have to monitor their spending and stars to maintain their status. Guests have raised concerns to Carnival Cruise Line's brand ambassador John Heald. Defending the changes on his Facebook page, he said the current scheme was becoming 'top heavy' and highlighted that passengers have been given time to prepare, while there is still a year to 'fine tune' the offering. He said feedback has been passed on to management. Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line, said: 'Our current VIFP programme has served us well for many years and while we've enjoyed truly extraordinary growth in our loyal customer base, it has become challenging to deliver the exceptional experience our diamond and platinum members deserve. "By introducing a points-based system, we're enabling greater flexibility so guests can personalise their rewards in ways that matter most to them.' Carnival Cruise Line said it recognised that passengers would be concerned that their status is being removed but said there were still opportunities to maintain their position, adding: 'It will, however, be tied to spending activity, consistent with loyalty rewards programs across the travel sector. We recognise that change can be difficult, but the current programme based on cruise frequency makes it difficult to properly recognise our loyal guests.'

The most stomach-churning photos from the infamous poop cruise stuck at sea for days on end

Carnival's 'poop cruise' that saw thousands of passengers stuck at sea for five days as sewage flooded the ship is set to be featured in a new Netflix series. Due to stream on June 24, episode three of 'Trainwreck' - the series that looks at several disasters, will focus solely on the trainwreck - or shipwreck - that was the voyage of the Carnival Triumph in February 2013. The ship was meant to embark on a four day sojourn out of New Orleans, Louisiana throughout the Gulf of Mexico. But, on day four, an electrical fire broke out and turned the entire trip on its head. The accident engulfed the ship's electrical cables in flames. Those cables powered the Triumph's entire electrical system including the power, refrigeration, propulsion, air conditioning and the power to flush the toilets. While at sea they were impossible to repair and the entire cruise ship had to be sustained by a singular generator. As a result, the boat powerlessly drifted in the Gulf of Mexico for four days, completely unable to accommodate its nearly 4,000 passengers with basic needs like food and operational toilets. To make matters worse, with just one day left on their trip, Carnival Captains found themselves unable to steer the ship at all thanks to the power outage. Passenger Tammy Garcia said at the time: 'It wasn't vacation anymore, it was like survival mode. Eat what you can. Snack when you can. It was awful.' The ship was meant to embark on a four day sojourn out of New Orleans, Louisiana throughout the Gulf of Mexico. But, on day four, an electrical fire broke out and turned the entire trip on its head. Pictured: passengers set up camp on the decks of the boat to avoid the foul smell of their cruise-mates' plumbing Since the cruise was spontaneously increased by four days, staff also quickly ran low on food. The lack of refrigeration made dining limited, passengers documented the slivers of ham on mustard-soaked stale bread that they were served to survive Carnival Triumph (pictured) powerlessly drifted in the Gulf of Mexico for four days, completely unable to accommodate it's nearly 4,000 passengers with basic needs like food and operational toilets Because of the fire, passengers operated completely in the dark and were forced to poop into red biohazard bags and pee in the showers. One passenger, Rian Tipton, told People at the time that some people snubbed the biohazard bags altogether and continued to use the out-of-order toilets. 'Toilets started to overflow and so were the trash cans! People were literally peeing and pooping in the trash cans. 'The worst that I've heard is people going into the public bathrooms and seeing feces on the wall,' she said. The sewage system became overwhelmed by the outage and even began leaking thousands of people's excrement into the floors and hallways. Passengers set up camp on the decks of the boat to avoid the foul smell of their cruise-mates' plumbing. Passenger Robin Chandler, who boarded the cruise to celebrate her birthday said: 'The stench was awful. A lot of people were crying and freaking out.' Since the cruise was spontaneously increased by four days, staff also quickly ran low on food. The lack of refrigeration made dining limited, passengers documented the slivers of ham on mustard-soaked stale bread, looking very similar to the legendary Fyre Festival cheese sandwich, that they were served to survive. One passenger said the food was one of the worst parts, but nothing could compare to the toilet situation. 'The worst thing was the toilets. Going in them little red bags and we just had to put them in the trash. It got to the stage when they said if you have to urinate go in the sink or the shower. 'I'm looking forward to getting to a flushing commode. The cold onion sandwiches were pretty bad too,' the passenger said. After days of ruined plans, rationed food and powerless nights, insanity started to creep in. Passengers made help signs, drew on robes and bedsheets to document the disaster. They had to rely on themselves for comfort and entertainment since the amenities they'd paid for were long gone. Help finally arrived on Valentine's day, February 14. Tug boats ushered the floundering ship for the Gulf to a nearby port in Mobile, Alabama, miles away from the cruise's original docking point. Because of the fire, passengers operated completely in the dark and forced to poop into red bio-hazard bags and pee in the showers 'I feel like I can survive anything now,' said passenger Kendall Jenkins after the horror story she endured on board. 'I just feel so blessed to be home.' Buses to take guests from Alabama the original port left early February 15. It took several hours to disembark the ship with only one elevator in operation. In a statement to Daily Mail this week, Carnival officials said: 'The Carnival Triumph incident over 12 years ago was a teachable moment for the entire cruise industry. 'A thorough investigation following the incident revealed a design vulnerability which was corrected and led Carnival Cruise Line to invest more than $500million across our entire fleet in comprehensive fire prevention and suppression, improved redundancy, and enhanced management systems, all in support of our commitment to robust safety standards. 'We are proud of the fact that since 2013 over 53 million guests have enjoyed safe and memorable vacations with us, and we will continue to operate to these high standards.' In the trailer for the episode, Netflix teases even more drama. Passengers and employees recount fights breaking out aboard the boat and dozens of people suing for mental distress.

'I was on vile "Poop Cruise" where sewage ran into cabins - the smell haunts me'

The infamous 'Poop Cruise' - where passengers were left stranded without any power and had to poo in bags - made global headlines back in 2013 as the chaos unfolded Netflix documentary series Trainwreck explores some of the most bizarre, jaw-dropping, and at times downright revolting events in recent history. One particularly unforgettable episode focuses on a maritime disaster that made global headlines: the infamous 'Poop Cruise'. In February 2013, the Carnival Triumph cruise ship set sail from Galveston, Texas, with more than 4,000 passengers and crew onboard, bound for a leisurely four-day Caribbean getaway. But the holiday quickly unravelled into chaos. ‌ On the third day, a fire erupted in the aft engine room. Though the blaze was quickly extinguished and no injuries were reported, it critically damaged the ship's main power systems. The Triumph was left drifting in the Gulf of Mexico without propulsion, or basic functioning utilities. ‌ With the power out, vital systems failed, including air conditioning, refrigeration, and most importantly, the sewage and sanitation infrastructure. What followed was a nightmare. Toilets stopped working. Raw sewage began leaking into hallways and cabins, filling the ship with a stench described by passengers as unbearable. Many were forced to relieve themselves in plastic bags and red biohazard bags, as bathrooms became unusable. With the air conditioning offline, temperatures inside soared, making the interior suffocatingly hot and humid. Dozens of passengers chose to sleep on open decks just to escape the heat and foul odours. Food quickly became scarce. Without refrigeration, the crew did what they could, serving cold sandwiches and sparse meals often consisting of little more than bread and vegetables. Water was rationed, and tensions steadily rose. Although communication with the outside world was limited, word of the ship's grim conditions quickly spread. Images of the stranded vessel and its desperate passengers went viral, drawing international media attention. ‌ After five gruelling days, the Carnival Triumph was finally towed to port in Mobile, Alabama, bringing an end to the ordeal, but not to the controversy. In the aftermath, investigations uncovered troubling details. CNN obtained documents showing only four of the ship's six generators were functioning before departure, and that Carnival had prior knowledge of both fire hazards and fuel line issues. Records revealed nine separate fuel line incidents in just two years, raising serious questions about the company's maintenance practices and safety protocols. ‌ As lawsuits mounted and scrutiny of the cruise industry intensified, Carnival found itself in damage control. Then-President and CEO Gerry Cahill issued a public apology, saying: 'I want to again apologise to our guests and their friends and families. The situation on board was difficult and we are very sorry for what has happened. We pride ourselves on providing our guests with a great vacation experience and clearly we failed in this case.' Kimberly Townsend, a 54-year-old mother of two and grandmother of three, was among 31 passengers who sued Carnival, holding the company accountable for what they describe as a disastrous voyage. ‌ In her testimony, Townsend gave a vivid and emotional account of the harrowing days spent aboard the disabled ship stranded in the Gulf of Mexico. She described terrified passengers crowding the decks, worried for their safety, while foul-smelling toilets overflowed into hallways. There was no power, near-total darkness, long waits for limited water, and a severe lack of food. Townsend recalled finally managing to reach her mother by phone once the crippled ship was towed into Mobile, Alabama - arriving days late from what was meant to be a dream vacation. She told the court she had begged her mother to come get her right away. As she recounted the moment, her voice faltered, she looked down, and began to sob in the witness chair. ‌ She was one of several passengers from the Carnival Triumph who took the stand, some breaking down in tears, as they spoke about the ordeal and the emotional toll that still lingers a year later. 'I did not get physically injured. I got mentally injured,' testified Jean Cripps, a 74-year-old grandmother who suffers from Parkinson's disease. She went on the cruise with her husband, Alton, who has diabetes and a hurt leg that forced him to retire disabled. The elderly couple was on the cruise as a present from their son, David, and grandson, Easton, who went with them. ‌ 'It never ends, the whole experience never ends,' testified Cripps. 'It's over and over again. We had two good days,' she said, referring to the first days of the cruise. 'But that's not what I think about. I think about the smell, the stench and the bad things. All the memories come flooding back, and I can't stop them.' Among the worst memories, Cripps testified, was the fear that the ship, which listed severely after the fire, would actually turn over and sink. ‌ 'It was a horrible experience,' testified Michelle Key, 48, who went on the cruise with her mother, Fleda Key, 68. 'I walked through water and faeces and urine, no telling what else,' she testified. 'We would slip and slide through greasy, gross, slippery muck,' she said, adding 'it was very difficult' for her mother. Fleda Key described having terrible diarrhoea on numerous occasions and having difficulty finding any toilets that were not overflowing. 'There was lots of urine and faeces all the way up to the rim of every one,' she said, explaining she 'choked away the smell'. Like many of the witnesses, she testified that she lived for days in total fear that they might not finish the voyage alive. 'I was fearful, downright afraid and scared,' said Fleda.
