With its official grand opening happening in just over a week, the menus for the dining options at Carnival’s new private destination, Celebration Key, have been shared for the very first time.
Set to open on July 19, 2025, Celebration Key now has 13 available menus for guests to review ahead of their visit.
Unfortunately, only a small portion of these menus, labeled “Island Eats”, are redeemable for the one complimentary meal provided to passengers while at the destination.
Guests will be able to enjoy the different dining options located at the Snack Shack, food trucks, or in the Captain’s Galley Food Hall.
Now let’s get into the yummy stuff!
Beachside Burgers and More Menu
Starting strong, this burger spot has a menu that is all Island Eats, so guests can choose from any option without being charged extra for one meal.
Passengers will have the choice between cheeseburgers, hamburgers, a fried chicken sandwich, an island-spiced grilled chicken sandwich, fried chicken tenders, and a Caesar salad.
All of these options also include a complimentary chocolate chip cookie.
For guests looking to enjoy some Asian inspired cuisine, Streatery Sushiva is a great choice — but there are only two Island Eats options.
Included are the orange chicken roll and the crazy California roll, again with a complimentary chocolate chip cookie.
The rest of the menu includes fusion rolls, such as the Kamikaze tuna roll, the honey sriracha conch roll, the Ingrid roll with tempura shrimp, the spicy salmon and crab roll, the veggie planet roll, and good old pineapple teriyaki chicken.
There is an option to get keto cauliflower rice as a replacement for regular rice if requested.
Beyond that, there are also chicken and veggie egg rolls, as well as desserts including wonton cheesecake and matcha brownies.
As the name may suggest, this menu features none other than chicken!
The Island Eats at this spot includes either four pieces of bone-in or boneless chicken wings, which both come with complimentary sauce, French fries, and again a chocolate chip cookie.
The other paid options include six and ten-piece chicken wings, again either bone-in or boneless, with six sauces to choose from. There are also fries, loaded fries, and loaded nachos available.
For passengers seeking out a sweet treat, Mini Donut King offers four mini donuts as part of Island Eats.
Guests will get to choose between two classic donuts, such as plain or glazed, as well as two specialty donuts, such as s’mores or guava cheesecake.
Additional regular menu options include a half dozen classic mini donuts, a half dozen specialty mini donuts, shaved ice with eight flavor choices, and beverages, which are either soft drinks or bottled water.
Because one chicken place was not enough, there is a second — but this one is all Island Eats!
Calypso Chicken Co. offers guests the option to order a fried chicken sandwich, a Bahamian fried hot chicken sandwich, and fried chicken tenders.
Also included are the cheesesteak sandwich, the grilled chicken & cheese sandwich, and a Caesar salad.
Of course, all of these meals come with the coveted chocolate chip cookie.
Seaside Shack Subs & Tenders is yet another dining option that is exclusively all Island Eats!
Passengers can choose from a cheesesteak sandwich, a grilled chicken & cheese sandwich, fried chicken tenders, fried mozzarella sticks, and a Caesar salad — all coming with a complimentary chocolate chip cookie.
Again, another Island Eats only menu, this time with options for a hamburger, cheeseburger, a quarter-pound beef hot dog, and again a Caesar salad. This location also provides complimentary chocolate chip cookies.
Grand Bahama Taco Menu
Surprise — another menu filled with Island Eats, only this time there are more new options.
Grand Bahama Taco Co.’s menu features three kinds of tacos, including jerk chicken, fried fish, and steak.
There are also three quesadillas to choose from, which are jerk chicken, steak, and cheese.
Oh, and of course, the chocolate chip cookie that comes with each meal.
The Flippin Fritters menu has the smallest selection of Island Eats out of any menu, offering a six-piece fritter meal.
This option comes with two conch, shrimp, and corn, along with sweet potato fries, Caribbean coleslaw, and a chocolate chip cookie.
The rest of the menu includes an eight-piece savory fritters option, an eight-piece sweet fritters option, sweet potato fries, soft drinks, bottled water, and beer.
Dipping sauces are only included in the paid options on this menu.
According to Carnival brand ambassador John Heald, this full menu, along with the Taco, Burrito, or Bowl menu as well as the Mediterranean Flavors menu, are all complimentary — but the addition of Island Eats sections suggests otherwise.
For Island Eats on this menu, guests can choose from cheese or pepperoni pizza, both of which come with… a chocolate chip cookie!!
Other options include an Italian sub, a meatball sub, a chicken parm sub, an Italian sausage sub, and a vegetarian sub, all of which come with potato chips.
One final choice is lasagna, which is served on its own.
While it is still unclear if this option is complimentary or not, passengers will get to build their own taco or burrito bowl.
This dining experience is fully customizable with four bases to choose from and 14 additional choices for toppings, protein, and sauces.
This dining option has also been hinted at as complimentary, but the menu lacks the Island Eats verbiage, so it is safe to assume, for now, that it is not free.
Similar to the taco & burrito bowl option, guests will get to fully customize their Mediterranean meal with three bases to choose from.
Additionally, passengers will get to choose five of the 12 toppings available, as well as choose one of four proteins, and one of seven sauces.
The final menu shared was for none other than the Snack Shack, which has quite an interesting setup.
Island Eats options include a Caesar salad, hot dogs, a chicken Caesar wrap, a turkey club wrap, and a hummus vegetable wrap.
All of these options include potato chips and a chocolate chip cookie.
The regular menu is exactly the same as the Island Eats menu, just without the complimentary chips and cookies.
Why is there even a separate menu? There is no good answer for that!
Choose Wisely or Pay the Price
With so many dining options available, the thing guests should look out for is the best use of their one free meal, as not all of the options are created equal.

For example, instead of getting free donuts from Mini Donut King, consider using the voucher for all of the other meals that already come with a free cookie.
With beverages not included and more limited Island Eats options, guests headed to Celebration Key soon are surely in for some unavoidable extra spending.
But hey, at least it is a vacation, right?
