Why this trip is peak “Salty Sister”

​

Spring Break can feel… chaotic. But aboard Carnival Celebration, it’s pure choose-your-own-vibe. Want family fun? Done. Girlfriends’ getaway? Absolutely. Cruising solo and ready to meet your people? We’ve got you. Our Salty Sisterhood loves this ship because it blends big-ship energy (shows, waterslides, themed zones) with plenty of cozy corners for quiet coffee, spa time, and ocean-gazing.

Come with the kids, bring the girls, or join us solo — you’ll fit right in with the Salty Sisterhood!

The Itinerary (and what we love about each stop)

​

🏝️ Day 2–3: Sea Days

Ease into vacay mode. Sunrise stretch on deck, iced latte in hand. Hit the adults-only Serenity area, book a thermal suite pass, or get brave on the ropes course before we glam up for evening shows.

 

🐢 St. Thomas

Think turquoise water and postcard beaches. Our Salty Sister picks:

• Magens Bay for gentle waves and “float-and-gossip” time

• Coki Beach for snorkeling (bring a cheap reef-safe mask)

• Skyride to Paradise Point for a breezy photo-op with your besties

• ​

💃 San Juan, Puerto Rico

History, color, and salsa in the streets. Do a self-guided stroll through Old San Juan (blue cobblestones, pastel balconies), taste mofongo or a piña colada where it was born, and walk the El Morro fortress walls right before golden hour.

​

🌊 Celebration Key (Bahamas)

Carnival’s private paradise = stress-free beach day. Loungers, beach bars, and calm lagoon water ideal for Sister chats, kiddo splashes, or that blissful solo float. Upgrade to a cabana if your crew loves shade + snack central.

​

The Ship: Sister-approved highlights

• Serenity – Adults Only Retreat: Your quiet sanctuary, 21+.

• Islander-style eateries & street-food nooks: Quick bites between pool dips.

• Excel Suites & balcony bliss: If you’re celebrating something big, ask us about splurge-worthy perks.

• Nightlife sampler: Piano bar sing-alongs, comedy club laughs, and production shows with “how did they do that?!” staging.

• Waterworks & Family Zones: If you’ve got littles or grands, the slides and kids’ clubs are a slam dunk.

• ​

Traveling during Spring Break? Here’s how we keep it smooth

 

For Sisters bringing kids/grandkids

• Early bird wins: Hit slides right at opening; swap midday for nap/quiet time.

• Reserve shows and dinners where possible. Consistency keeps everyone happy.

• Color-coded plan: Each adult owns a time block—pool, snacks, showers—so everyone actually relaxes.

For girlfriend groups

• Theme nights: Pick two—Tropical Pop, Mermaid Metallics. Instant photoshoot energy.

• Group reservations: Comedy club and specialty dining fill up—book onboard Day 1.

• Walkie-talkie app plan: Agree on a group chat + meet points before cocktails hit.

For solo Sisters

• Join a roll call or our Salty Sister meet-up on Day 1. Instant friends.

• Choose shared table dining if you love conversation; opt for flexible dining if you’re in “me-time” mode.

• Curate your rituals: Same café, same time—crew and fellow regulars become your ship family.

• ​

Packing List (Salty Sister edition)

• Musts: Reef-safe sunscreen, wide-brim hat, polarized sunnies, mini first-aid, motion bands/meds

• Style: 2 swimsuits + a coverup that can pass as lunch-wear, 1 breezy day dress, 1 dressy night look, comfy sandals, one pair of “how are these so comfy?!” wedges

• Extras: Collapsible tote for beach days, waterproof phone pouch, portable fan, high-SPF lip balm

• Brand flair: Your Salty Sisters Cruise Crew tee or towel band for group pics!

• ​

Budgeting the fun (real talk)

• Gratuities: Prepay so it’s done and dusted.

• Wi-Fi: Choose based on needs (social vs. work). We can help you pick the right plan.

• Drinks: If you enjoy 5–7 beverages/day (mocktails count!), the package may save you $.

• Excursions: Mix paid experiences (catamaran sail, rum tasting) with DIY beach days to balance the budget.

• ​

Safety & wellness, Sister-style

• Hydrate like it’s a sport (electrolyte packets are tiny miracles).

• Midday shade breaks = more stamina for night fun.

• Shoes with grip for wet decks (cute and sensible exists!).

• Keep photocopies/photos of IDs and a mini essentials pouch in your day bag.
