Carnival Cruise Line reveals food & drink in new exclusive Caribbean hotspot

Carnival has revealed the food and beverage options for Celebration Key, its new exclusive destination in Grand Bahama, set to open in July 2025.

Celebration Key food: What restaurants will be there?

Guests will have a wide selection of 30 different outlets, including four full-service restaurants, a food hall, nine food trucks, five snack shacks, two counter-service kiosks, and 12 bars. The offerings will include local Bahamian specialties, beachside favorites, seafood and barbecue.

One of the foodie highlights at the Carnival Cruise Line hotspot is Mingo’s Tropical Bar & Kitchen, located in the Calypso Lagoon area. This waterfront full-service restaurant will serve Bahamian dishes like fried fish and conch fritters, alongside classic burgers, seafood, tacos, steaks, and sandwiches.
