A Miami-themed vibe pays homage to Carnival Cruise Line‘s roots on its newest ship Carnival Celebration.
A zone named 820 Biscayne, the address of Carnival’s original headquarters, will have vibrant colors and Instagrammable features like flamingoes on skateboards.
“Miami has been our home for 50 years, and in bringing a brand-new ship to its port, we wanted to show some extra love to the city that helped us become who we are today,” said Carnival Cruise Line president Christine Duffy.
On Deck 8– in the same location as La Piazza on sister ship Mardi Gras–820 Biscayne will feature a similar layout and venues but with influences and design elements that reflect the urban-meets-laid back vibes of Miami, perfect for relaxing and people watching or enjoying fresh sea air and ocean views. Miami-flaired food and beverage offerings include:
Bar 820 – a half inside, half outside retro-inspired bar that will feature a “vintage cool” design with grab-and-go Cuban and specialty coffees for early risers on their way outside for some morning sunshine, as well as Miami-inspired tropical frozen drinks and creative martinis day and night.
Deco Deli – designed as a nod to Miami’s Art Deco mecca with colorful fonts and signage, the space will serve more than the classic deli sandwiches with an expanded menu that also highlights Miami staples including the Cubano (pork, ham, swiss cheese and mustard), a croqueta sandwich (ham and cheese croqueta, shaved ham and pickles), and pan con lechon (slow cooked pulled pork, melted onion and mojo sauce) all on Cuban bread.
Miami Slice – continuing to give guests the 24-hour pizza they know and love, the always-popular walk-up spot will offer hand-tossed, fresh-from-the-oven slices amid a contemporary and vibrant décor reminiscent of the late-night eateries on Miami’s bustling Ocean Drive.
Throughout this zone, guests will experience a unique take on Miami, combining elements from its past with its present. From beautiful artwork to fun photo opportunities like posing with flamingoes on skateboards, guests will feel like they’re “truly walking around the 305,” the line promises.
Guests can still expect to find their favorites in the zone like Rudi’s Seagrill, which was introduced on Mardi Gras, and Cucina del Capitano, which will be redesigned with a new look and feel that reflects the sleek and airy restaurants often found in Miami, as well.
Carnival Celebration will be the second Carnival ship to be powered by a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) propulsion system, part of Carnival Corp’s green cruising initiative, and will include an award-winning roller coaster at the top of the ship
The Celebration’s inaugural sailing is scheduled for Nov. 21, departing from the redesigned Terminal F at PortMiami, the line’s third terminal at the port and its largest in South Florida.
