Notes on these figures
No ship-specific slot or table count found. Cruiseline.com shows a generic 'over 180 slot machines / 18 gaming tables' blurb that is identical on its Carnival Celebration page, so it was not used.
Cruise Critic: casino was 'supersized' and takes up a huge amount of Deck 7; the non-smoking side is the bigger side and has windows. CruiseMapper: casino was expanded with additional slot machines during a dry dock. On John Heald's Oct 2026 list of ships with non-smoking casino areas (Excel class has a large, closed-off non-smoking section per Cruise Fever).
