Say Goodbye to Carnival's Celebration
Or should we say hasta la vista?
Carnival says that after many years of faithful service, its second oldest ship, the 1,486-passenger Celebration, finally is leaving the fleet, though it isn't going away completely.
It's new home: Spain. The 20-year-old vessel will join Madrid-based Iberocruceros, which is a joint venture Carnival has put together with a Spanish company to bring cruising to the Spanish-speaking masses.
Built in 1987, the Celebration is one of just two ships left in Carnival's fleet that date back to the 1980s, when mass-market cruising was just getting going. The other: The 22-year-old Holiday, now sailing out of Mobile, Ala. No word on that one, but if you're a big fan you might want to book it soon.
