Carnival Cruise Line is sharing more details about the food and beverage offerings at Celebration Key, its its new private destination on Grand Bahama schedule to debut in July 2025. 

Visitors will be able to choose from more than 30 food and drink venues at Celebration Key, including four full-service restaurants, a food hall, nine food trucks, five snack shacks, two counter-service kiosks and 12 bars. 

A wide range of cuisines will be available, from Bahamian specialties to seafood and more. Travelers can munch on fried fish and conch fritters at Mingo’s Tropical Bar & Kitchen, feast on slow-smoked meats at Surf N’ Sauce BBQ & Brews and chow down on lobster at Gill’s Grill, for example.

Guests 18 and older can dine at Pearl Cove Beach Club, Celebration Key’s exclusive, adults-only retreat. It has a full-service restaurant, bar and lounge, plus a swim-up bar at the infinity pool overlooking the beach.

Some of the eateries will offer free lunch options through the “Island Eats” program. Using their Sail & Sign card, guests can enjoy one free meal at the destination’s quick casual outlets, snack shacks and food trucks. Alternatively, they can save 25 percent off one entree at any of the full-service restaurants (except for Pearl Cove Beach Club restaurant).

“Great food and beverage options are essential to the Carnival experience, and we’ve designed Celebration Key with an array of dining opportunities, whether our guests want a casual snack, a quick meal or a full dining experience,” says Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “Just like there will be no shortage of ways to enjoy their day in paradise, there will also be something for everyone to eat and drink at Celebration Key.”
