Grand Celebration

"Grand Celebration" is a "Holiday" class cruise ship that is operated by Iberocruceros. She was built in 1986 by Kockums Varv in Malmö, Sweden for Carnival Cruise Lines as "Celebration". The "Grand Celebration" has 2 sister ships. The "Holiday" operates for Carnival Cruise Lines and the "Pacific Sun" operates for P&O Cruises Australia. The "Celebration" was retired from their fleet in April 2008. The "Grand Celebration" had an extensive refit. This refit included the addition of more than 12 suites, many with private verandas.

Incidents ("with Carnival Cruise Lines")

On August 16th, 2006, Carnival's Celebration struck the harbor floor in Nassau, The Bahamas as the ship with over 1100 passengers onboard was preparing to dock.The ship's propeller was struck, causing vessel damage and the release of 53 gallons of lubricating oil into the sea. The Celebration canceled its Port Of Call to Nassau and returned to its Jacksonville, Florida homebase, giving passengers an extra day at sea. All passengers received a 20% discount towards their next cruise.

On August 25, 2007, Carnival's "Fun Ship" "Celebration" was on its normal embarkation schedule in Jacksonville, Florida, when Carnival's sniffer dogs detected something suspicious in the luggage. The terminal was closed at approximately noon, and reopened around 8 pm. It was later detected that heart medication set the dogs off, according to Jacksonville City Police.
