Carnival has revealed a new Miami-themed zone onboard Carnival Celebration!
Named after the address of Carnival’s original headquarters, the cruise line said that 820 Biscayne will celebrate the culture, architectural styles and flavours of the home city where the line was founded in 1972.
820 Biscayne will feature a similar layout and venues to La Piazza on sistership Mardi Gras but with influences and design elements that reflect the urban-meets-laid back vibes of Miami.
Bringing Miamian food and beverage offerings to the fleet, 820 Biscayne will feature:
- Bar 820 – a half inside, half outside retro-inspired bar with grab-and-go Cuban and specialty coffees, Miami-inspired tropical frozen drinks and creative martinis day and night.
- Deco Deli – a nod to Miami’s Art Deco mecca serving classic deli sandwiches and an expanded menu highlighting Miami staples such as the Cubano (pork, ham, swiss cheese and mustard) and more.
- Miami Slice – a 24-hour pizza joint with authentic, fresh-from-the-oven, hand-tossed slices amid vibrant décor reminiscent of the late-night eateries on Miami’s bustling Ocean Drive.
Throughout this zone, guests will experience a unique take on Miami, combining elements from its past with its present.
From beautiful artwork to fun photo opportunities like posing with flamingoes on skateboards, guests will feel like they’re truly walking around the ‘305.’
Christine Duffy, President of Carnival Cruise Line, said: “Miami has been our home for 50 years, and in bringing a brand new ship to its port, we wanted to show some extra love to the city that helped us become who we are today.
“Carnival Celebration will celebrate all things Carnival, intertwining where we have been with where we are going, and we can’t think about where we started without thinking about Miami and all of the fun that it represents.”
Ben Clement, Senior Vice President Of New Builds, Refurbishment And Product Innovation, said: “We wanted to continue to give our guests the delicious and fun offerings they know and love from Mardi Gras but with new identities that pay tribute to the rich culture of Miami, a city that is so special to all of us.
“Miami is a one-of-a-kind city with many different sides to it, so we tried to capture all of that in 820 Biscayne – from the tropical feel and original Art Deco designs that can still be found on Miami Beach today to the modern city look of Brickell – and of course, with a huge emphasis on the delicious flavours throughout.”
Guests can still expect to find their favourites in the zone like Rudi’s Seagrill, which was introduced on Mardi Gras, and Cucina del Capitano, which will be redesigned with a new look and feel.
Additional details and zones on Carnival Celebration will be revealed in the coming months leading up to the ship’s inaugural sailing from Miami on Nov. 21.
