The Grand Celebration had an extensive refit before re-entering service. The refit included new hull artwork. Unlike her sister ship, retired Carnival ship Jubilee, the trademark whale tail funnel on Grand Celebration was not altered or removed, but only painted over. The Grand Celebration entered into service for Iberocruceros in the summer of 2008. She will be transferred to Costa Cruises in November 2014, as the Costa Celebration.
