Martin Aquatic Team Experiences Celebration Key Firsthand on Company Cruise
Following the highly anticipated opening of Carnival’s private destination, Celebration Key, Martin Aquatic brought its entire team on a weekend sailing to enjoy the Caribbean’s largest freshwater lagoons, powered by the patented Blue Mar Basins technology.
This past weekend, the entire Martin Aquatic team embarked on a BIG company social event—a sailing with Carnival Cruise Line to its new Bahamian destination, Celebration Key. The team got to see some of the amenities that its designers and engineers worked on, from an entryway fountain to a children’s splashpad, and two tall waterslides coming from the iconic Suncastle. But of course the most impressive element at Celebration Key is the nearly 7 acres of water in the two largest freshwater lagoons in the Caribbean. Using Martin Aquatic’s award-winning system, Blue Mar Basins, both the adult-friendly ‘Calypso Lagoon’ and family-friendly ‘Starfish Lagoon’ have pristine water quality that glitters in the December sun.
Following a short tour where the team explored the back of house mechanical spaces and walked through the highlights of the island’s amenities, every staff member and their significant other spent the day relaxing in paradise. Renting four overwater cabanas allowed our sizeable group of 92 people to lounge on the sunshelves while having an exclusive stretch of the basin to ourselves. But with 7 acres of water, we never had to compete for pool space!
As Martin Aquatic has become a cruise industry expert consultant, this is the second cruise the entire company participated in. Last February, the team set sail for Royal Caribbean’s private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay, to take in that island’s amenities, including several pools and waterpark.
This cruise served as a wonderful chance for the team to get to know each other better—especially after the major growth that Martin Aquatic has seen over the last 18 months. The demand for more Blue Mar Basins, such as the lagoons at Celebration Key, has driven the company’s recent expansion, and more projects are also increasing our size.
