Celebration Key Drink Menu: Bahamian Cocktails, Beer & Prices
If you’re heading to Carnival’s Celebration Key in Grand Bahama, there are plenty of tropical drinks and cold beers available during your day ashore. The Celebration Key drink menu includes Bahamian-inspired cocktails, familiar classics, local Bahamian beer, premium beer, and six-beer buckets.
The menu photographed at Celebration Key lists Bahamian specialty cocktails for $14, classic cocktails for $13, local beers for $7.50, and premium beers for $9.50. Here’s the full menu and current prices shown during our visit.

Celebration Drink Prices
The menus show soft drinks around $3 at these locations, while bottled water is generally $2.
One thing worth watching is that prices can vary slightly between locations. For example, Sands and Sands Light beer are listed at $7 on several food menus and $7.50 at Paradise Pizza.
A separate photographed beverage stand shows:
• Corona – $9.50
• Michelob Ultra – $9.50
• Bush Crack – $9.50
• Sands – $7.50
• Sands Light – $7.50
• Local beer bucket – $37.50
• International beer bucket – $47.50
• Sodas – $3.50
• Water – $3
• Red Bull – $7.50
• Celsius – $7.50
• Souvenir Cup – $25
• Pineapple Cup – $25
Celebration Key Bahamian Specialty Cocktails
The Bahamian Specials are $14 each and focus heavily on rum, tropical fruit flavors, and Caribbean-style cocktails.
• Bahama Mama – Dark and coconut rums with grenadine, pineapple juice, and orange juice
• Bahamarita – Mango, strawberry, and melon combined with tequila and lime
• Goombay Smash – Coconut and dark rums with peach schnapps and tropical juices
• Rum Punch – White and dark rums with fruit juices and grenadine
• Yellow Bird – Rum, banana liqueur, triple sec, lime, and orange
These are the most destination-specific cocktails on the menu and make sense for anyone looking for a tropical drink rather than one of the standard cocktails available at many bars.
Celebration Key Classic Cocktails
Classic cocktails are priced at $13 each.
The menu includes:
• Long Island Iced Tea
• Daiquiri
• Margarita
• Mojito
• Pina Colada
• Sex On The Beach
The menu doesn’t specify flavors or customization options for these drinks, so those aren’t something to assume from the posted menu.
Celebration Key Beer Prices
Beer is divided into local and premium selections.
Local beer costs $7.50 each:
• High Rock Light
• Sands
• Sands Light
The local selection is particularly worth noting for visitors who want to try Bahamian beer instead of sticking with brands they can easily find back home.
Premium beer costs $9.50 each:
• Bush Crack
• Corona Extra
• Michelob Ultra
• Corona Cero (Non Alcoholic)
Corona Cero gives guests a non-alcoholic beer option on the menu.
Celebration Key Beer Bucket Prices
Celebration Key also sells buckets containing six beers.
• Local Beer Bucket – 6 beers for $37.50
• Premium Beer Bucket – 6 beers for $47.50
Based on the individual menu prices, the buckets effectively give you six beers for the price of five.
Six local beers purchased individually would cost $45, compared with $37.50 for the bucket, a savings of $7.50.
Six premium beers purchased individually would cost $57, compared with $47.50 for the bucket, a savings of $9.50.
For a group planning to have several beers during the day, the bucket is clearly the better value based on the posted prices.
Where to Get Drinks at Celebration Key
Celebration Key has numerous places to grab a drink rather than one single central bar. Carnival’s official destination information lists bars across several areas of the destination.
In Calypso Lagoon, options include Long Necks Swim-Up Bar, Sunshine Swings Bar, and Lagoon Bar West. Long Necks specializes in frozen drinks, beer, and Bahamian cocktails, while Sunshine Swings Bar serves poolside cocktails.
Starfish Lagoon includes Parrotfish Swim-Up Bar, known for frozen rum cocktails, along with Lagoon Bar East and another bar near the Aquabana Peninsula.
Several Celebration Key restaurants also have full bars, including Mingo’s Tropical Bar & Kitchen, Surf N’ Sauce BBQ & Brews, Gill’s Grill, and Captain’s Galley Food Hall.
Guests who reserve access to the adults-only Pearl Cove Beach Club have additional bar options inside that area.
Celebration Key Is More Than a Cruise Port Bar Stop
Celebration Key is Carnival Cruise Line’s destination on Grand Bahama, and the food and drink venues are spread throughout its different portals rather than concentrated in one small port area.
The destination includes Starfish Lagoon, Calypso Lagoon, Paradise Plaza, Lokono Cove, and the separate Pearl Cove Beach Club. Carnival lists more than 30 food and beverage venues across Celebration Key.
That makes it easy to combine drinks with a beach or lagoon day rather than treating the stop like a traditional shore excursion where you’re away from the port for most of the day.
Calypso Lagoon is particularly drink-friendly, with a freshwater lagoon, swim-up bar, bar seating with swings, dining, beach access, and entertainment areas.
Celebration Key Drink Prices: What to Budget
Based on this menu, budgeting roughly $13 to $14 per cocktail is reasonable for the drinks shown here.
Beer is less expensive:
• Local beer – $7.50
• Premium beer – $9.50
• Local six-pack bucket – $37.50
• Premium six-pack bucket – $47.50
Someone having two Bahamian specialty cocktails would therefore spend $28 before any applicable additional charges, while a couple sharing a six-beer local bucket would pay $37.50 based on the posted menu price.
Prices can change, so the photographed menu should be treated as a snapshot of the pricing available during this visit rather than a guarantee for every future sailing.

Final Thoughts on the Celebration Key Drink Menu
Celebration Key’s drink menu sticks closely to what works for a beach day in the Bahamas: rum drinks, frozen and tropical cocktails, cold beer, and several Bahamian options.
The $14 Bahamian Specials are the standout choices if you want something that fits the destination, with the Bahama Mama, Goombay Smash, Rum Punch, and Yellow Bird all leaning heavily into Caribbean flavors. Classic cocktails are slightly cheaper at $13.
Beer drinkers can save by ordering a six-pack bucket, and the presence of local Sands selections makes it possible to try something Bahamian rather than ordering the same beer you’d have back home.
With bars and restaurants spread throughout Celebration Key’s different areas, you won’t need to structure your entire day around finding somewhere to grab a drink. Whether you’re spending the day at the beach, beside one of the lagoons, or exploring the destination, there are multiple places to stop for a cocktail or beer along the way.
