It is very helpful from your recommedation/ review since I am about to book room on the Mard Grad (1st time). Thank you so much for your great work and research!
Thanks Kelly and Jason.
Love this new ship from Carnival,
We cannot wait to sail on her!
Found your site. Really enjoy your presentation style. Looking forward to catching up on some older ones and have subscribed for the new ones. Looking forward to all things about the start up.
Thank you so much and we are glad you are here! :)
Great job! It'd be nice to see such reviews on every ship. We've had a couple noisy cabins in our time.
Great video as always Kellie! Great info on the Mardi Gras cabins and what ones not to book! - Tyler -
Thanks so much Tyler!
Thank you for sharing the information I was looking for PDF
Thanks for the information. We are planning to take our daughter on her first cruise trip on this ship next year. Love your Channel!
Aw, that is awesome! I am sure she will love it! And thank you for your kind words about our channel! We appreciate you watching!
Great information! We just booked for November 2021 and can’t wait ⛴🏝
We are sailing Nov. 2021 too! :D Thanks for watching!
we're booked dec 11th
great information, Thanks, we are scheduled to cruise the Mardi Gras in Dec.
Hi Sonic! Glad it was helpful! Hope you have the best cruise ever!
So happy I came across this video! I was booked directly below the pool deck, but had no idea. I just switched to deck 12!
Oh yay! Glad it was helpful to you! I think you will be happier on deck 12 :D
Thanks for information.
This was a super video Kel!
Thank you so much Jason!❤
Very informative video Kellie, we worked booked on the mardi gras for the 14th floor. Unfortunately not going on that trip now but we will be getting on the ship in the future. Been missing you and Jason's videos. Have a great day...
Hi Joe. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! We cannot wait to get back to cruising! Hopefully, soon! Hope you have a great day as well!
Booked on 15 underneath the bridge: any cautionary advice?
very helpful thank you
This is really helpful information. Thanks for putting it together. We’ve been in a room near the anchor on other ships, but we tend to get up earlier so it didn’t bother us too much. If you like so sleep in, I agree those rooms should definitely be avoided.
Thanks Cathy :D Our room on the Ecstasy was at the front and it was super noisy! haha. However, we have been on others and it wasn't so bad. It probably really depends on the ship but better safe than sorry! lol
I’d rather be by the anchor than under the pool deck, above a show lounge, or by busy elevators. Another bad spot is by a passenger laundry or any area where doors are frequently opened and closed like perhaps a pantry or housekeeping locker. I worked on board ships many years ago and Kel’s videos are making me nostalgic!
This was awesome! I hit subscribe!
Thanks so much Anna :D
Shew... glad my room isn’t on the list! Can’t wait to get on this incredible ship!
Us too! :D
Thanks for your awesome videos. Quick question. I just missed out on a corner aft suite by an hour. Ugh. I have an aft extended balcony ATM. Room 9505. I am thinking about a forward corner Excel suite. What would you pick? I love the Excel perks.
I'm booked. November 13 2021. Can't wait
We hope you have an AMAZING cruise!! :)
Hi I just came across your video. Thanks for this great review! I’m looking into booking a room in the Havana cabanas on the Marci gras. I would definitely need a room to avoid noise as I am a light sleeper and we go to bed around 9pm. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the info, I was on deck 5, 5366 - in your highlighted area, I heard a huge amount of noise each day/ and from 6 to 10:30 each night mostly coming from deck 4 "Camp Ocean" it was very loud, lots of screaming, mic'ed voices, lots of kids. They have a party every night when the parents are at dinner's and shows. I complained and was able to get a credit of ~$150. I had my wife and 2 older teens who all noticed it. on another note, this room was also middle of the ship and had very little ocean movement.
Going to save the plans and use as reference!! Thanks!!😁
Since we have been on the ship now, we have a better idea of cabins/layouts so if you have any other questions about cabins, ask away :)
@@TheTravelScouts
Thank you!😁I looked at a Spa suite for the lovely wife and wanted to know does it fit 3 people? Just curious.
My friends and I are booked on the Mardi Gras for 3/19/22 !!! We are so excited!
It will be great!!!!
I book on the Mardi Gras for the 2th of april! I book the 8201 cabine! Cannot wait to be on a long chair and relaxe!
Nice! Hope you have an AMAZING time!
I’m glad our cabin isn’t on the list & neither is my friend’s cabin. Thanks for sharing!
Ah great! Thanks for watching :)
Hi . I like your videos. When you cruise on mardi gras can you make note entry into the different pools. I hate the few ladders on the 2 ships I have been on. Thanks .I am on MG 1/22/22
Hi Sallie. I have actually had several people ask about the ladders so we will definitely cover that on a video.
I'm deck 5 right under the comedy club for Sep 3rd coming up. It was kinda lame to learn the life boats would be dangling above my balcony but the comedy club won't bother me. I would be 13-14 drinks into my package for the day and I'll just pass out thru it all LMAO!
Something to note about cabins above and below the theater. Don’t think just because shows are at night that you’re scotch free in the afternoons/early evening. You have other events in the theater (bingo, presentations, etc) and also they rehearse in the afternoon as well.
GREAT point! Thanks for sharing :)
I'd like to add something I heard from other longtime travelers: the fitness center. Naturally, you don't want the room next to it but even the second room after that is surprisingly loud too. You will still hear the clack-clack of the weights or feel the floor thump when people are jumping up and down. Try staying at least 4-5 rooms away from it. Oh, and don't get the last room in the hallway. That door facing you is usually the crew access so it's going to be very very busy and you'll be bumping into staff a lot if you go to your room even at night. Remember, a cruise ship never sleeps.
😮thank you!
I stayed in 10377 and I have to say the main issue with that room was the smell of the cigarette smoke from the deck of the Havana lanai. The entire extension of the Havana lanai on the starboard side is smoking section and the smoke went up to our room. We were one room over to where the extension ended and the smoke on port days came right up and so we never used our balcony. We would go outside in the morning on sea days and then when a lot of people were outside, we weren’t able to be there cause it was just too much. So make sure you stay clear of that side!
We just got off the Mardi Gras this past Saturday. We had a Cove balcony on deck 5 (5251). There was very little noise, no issues whatsoever.
We always book near the stairs and elevators, usually 1 deck below the lido deck and never have had any issues, also makes for quick access to the lido.
Thanks for chiming in :)
Same here, we specifically book close to elevators and lido deck
We were deck 5 middle of ship by elevators & never heard any people or music noise & nothing from the atrium above either. This was also during Spring Break with a sold out ship. I didn't drink and never heard anything. Except the horrible creaking the ship structure makes walking down level 5 hall & in my room. I've never heard that on any other ship I've sailed on. It was very scary. I was Not impressed with the Decor Design in the dining rooms it felt like being in the 80's eating at Ponderosa (Cheap Buffet restaurant) they definitely didn't go all out with Decor throughout the ship not fancy at all the Theatre is tiny along with the other rooms they do shows in. You can never see a show because there isn't enough room for the 6,000 people it holds. Couldn't do my hair all week their plugs didn't work took them 2 days before they even came to look at it they tried to blame my curling iron until I pointed out that Carnivals hair dryer would Not work either. Carnival double & triple overvooked booked Spa appts so I had to reschedule mine even though I prepaid for it 11 weeks beforehand. Then they charged me again for it which they later refunded. Their wifi plan was extremely Spotty didn't work well. Don't buy their chat plan. Using Facebook messenger is free. I won 6,000.00 in Casino slots & while waiting 30 minutes for the Casino manager my machine went to an error message so they never paid me my winnings. Don't gamble in their Casino. I won't ever go on a Carnival cruise again they did nothing to rectify anything for 7 day cruise that we spent 5,000.00 on
I was booked on the 29 may cruise but its been canceled. I intend to book again just not sure when. Thanks for the info.
Yes, we aren't booking anything again until cruises start sailing :)
I am on deck4 near the anchor. I suppose I will know when we docked if I am not able to upgrade
I just spent last week in 9327. I was so worried after watching this video because I'm an extremely light sleeper and I go to bed early...like before 9. I never heard a sound in this room! I'd pick it again every time!
I'm booked in 9337 next month and this sounds good to me! :)
@@aliciakathreine7003 have s great time!! You’re going to love it!
@@courtney7546 Thank you so much! I can't wait!
Thanks 😊
Love your channel ... I have a question? My sister gets a scooter on all her cruises will she be able to fit a scooter in a interior or balcony cabin
It depends on the size of the scooter. I think it would be very hard to get a scooter inside an interior (it would fit but then there would be very little room to manauver) Check out our video we published on interior cabin so you can get a feel for size: th-cam.com/video/b0BJ8d6RfpM/w-d-xo.html
I just changed by cove balcony on deck 5 to deck 16, on both the Mardi Gras and the Celebration.
I always book interior around midship most times and away from the elevators. My TA knows this so when I book she knows. What floor doesn't really matter to me but I try to stay up around deck 6 or so
On Deck 8 the Havana cabins actually have a door going to the cabin area. So the elevators and stairs will not have a congregating crowd. May hear some music from the bar when the band is playing.
Thanks for chiming in
Thank you for that helpful information. Do you also have any recommendations based on balcony over-hang areas or where the sides of the ships dip in and out? Good/bad/wind issues/privacy issues maybe?
Hi Travelin. That is actually a great question! Let me do some more studying and maybe I will make another video specifically about balcony cabins :)
@@TheTravelScouts That would be great!
@@TheTravelScouts hi great help. I am offered a balcony upgrade on 15471..good or no in your opinion? Thank you
I recommend being very careful picking a balcony room. We sailed in November in a Junior Suite balcony and thought we had chosen wisely. But the upper balcony rooms stack up receding so every balcony above yours can see down into your balcony. Also discovered our balcony looked out onto the roof of the bar next to the smoking area. It was blindingly white during the days when you walked out. We booked a Cove balcony for our next cruise on this ship.
@@timmason5667 thanks for the info. Were you on 15 aft starboard side?
Are some extended balconies larger or smaller depending on where your room is on the boat?
We just was on Carnival MG 10/29/22 and 9387 is directly over the smoking area. We weren’t able to enjoy our balcony which you paid to enjoy. It should be noted when booking a room.
15495 was an aft excel suite . It wasn’t awful but I didn’t realize I would be booking an aft suite right under Shaks kitchen/rear pool area.
Hi, thanks so much for this vid! What do you think about room 10216?
I think you will have an amazing view off the balcony! Might be a little windy at times on the balcony. Noise wise, you shouldn't have any problems! Deck 10 is a great choice!
What about deck 12... 🤔
Dee & Jay from ParoDeeJay booked a Havana inside and they can hear the music from the theater. I'm sure they're glad they'll be moving for their second leg.
Yes. I talked with them about it. I am going to do an update of this video soon and add some new cabins to the mix! 😀
Im going on the Celebration in the family Harbor rooms. Are the room sound proof so we wont hear all the kids running up nd down the hallway?
i took about 599 cruises in my life , i was a child when i went on the real Tss Mardi Gras Carnivale Festivale, and then worked aboard 1988 2002
Wow!
my first cruise was the Carnivale, the second was the original Mardi Gras
@@maryroberts2099 me too.
What about cabin 9504 which is above pig and anchor??
Great information.How about room 12334? Hopefully not near stars/ elevator.
I looked up that cabin. Great location. You should have no sound problems at all :)
Deck 8 are Havana Cabins with the exclusive bar and pool
Deck 8 room 8211 extremely noisy loud bangs all throughout the day and night also when leaving and pulling into port the entire room was vibrating/shaking . I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't stay here myself. Currently on the cruise now.
I know this video is a year old, but looking at cabins and we love the family harbor view room but we really want a balcony, do you know if they have the pull down bed from the ceiling making a bunk bed in any balcony rooms? We have twin boys age 9. Thanks for any help!
I saw a video on a family channel where they had a balcony and the bed that comes out of the ceiling and the sofa bed
How is cabin 11275 deck 11 interior room? Noisy?
YES! Jan 2.22
Hope you have a wonderful time :)
Does cabin 10210 have a hot tub on the balcony? Is it an obstructed view?
Yes it does. Wonderful view!
Were on the first cruise we got the atf excel suit cant wait
Ahhhhhh! That's awesome! We will see you on that cruise as well! Of course, we will be jealous of you in your aft excel suit! lol
@@TheTravelScouts think we wasted alot of money we could of went on a couple of cruises for that
@@benblevins2727 Lol- But at least you can say "been there done that" :D
@@TheTravelScouts true
Yes we sail November 2021
Have a wonderful time and thanks for watching!🚢😊
I was just on this cruise and was in room 10399 and it was tiny but it worked
in port the anchors are not used ,only in the port of calls where tender service bring people to shore otherwise the noise of mooring decl ,rope decl only lasdts about 15 to 20 min
True. But with COVID, they may end up at their private islands like Half Moon Key in which case requires tender. And of course, I am sure you know itineraries get changed last minute sometimes
Will this be more or less the same for the celebration?
Hello, You now have me worried, I am booked on the Horizon April 29 2023 and I have a room 4A interior deck 1 forward, three or four rooms back from the very front, your video of the ships anchor lowering every morning would be a bummer. Can't go any lower then level 1 so that chain would be right beneath the room.☹
This is a general question. Are first deck okay?
cabin 5450 cove balcony is that good? is it obstructed view?
Hi Kathleen. After looking at the actual Mardi Gras, I don't think the cove balconies will be obstsructed at all! :D I think you will have a wonderful cabin with an amazing view!
I'd add the top balcony cabins where the ship extends over the top of your balcony, you'll never get sun, and its a little claustrophobic.
Also certain balconies on dk 9 where you have no balcony roof and the balconies above you can look down into your balcony!
Hi I know this has this has been 4 months ago but we booked a cruise for this big ship for November 2022 .my husband is retiring and want a balcony room.So the room is 8B I think on the tenth floor .can you tell me a little about that room.you think it's bad if you get sea sick.
We will be on the Mardi Gras July 31st. Our cabin is on deck 10 as well. AND we will also be touring an 8B cabin. We will give a review once we are on the ship so make sure you are subscribed with the bell notifcation on so you don't miss any Mardi Gras reviews :)
I will one day sail on this ship but I still think the smaller ships such as the Fantasy class have a place in the cruise market.
Totally agree with you! There is something special about the smaller ships. We have never sailed on anything as big as Mardi Gras so it will be very interested to see the difference in a mega ship vs a fantasy class ship :)
I agree purvis. We went on the fantasy 2 years ago and I was a little nervous about its age and condition. It was of my favorite cruises ever. I think a good cruise is more about the company you have with you and not as much the ship.
Have anyone stayed at the Carnival Mardi Gras balcony cove room 5414? Is below the Brass Magnolia. I want to know if is too noisy all night?
Could not locate anything in description
Is cabin 5349 noisy. Looks like it is not singled out on this video
why you highlight near stair and elevators? I stay by them with no noise problem at all
Yes on Oct 2023
is 15456 a good room?
we are in room 9481 hopefully it is a quiet area
September 25 2021 !
Awesome!
I don't see a link. Going on Mardi Gras in March 2023
We are in room 12298 on deck 12. Anybody know about this one? It is our first balcony room
We have cabin 5212 Is that good?
Hi Kim. The main theater is right above your cabin. Know that there may be the possibility of hearing some of the music from the shows in the evening.
How do you know if it’s connecting rooms?
If you look at the deck plans, you will see a little triangle between the 2 cabins if it is connecting
We have credits with three cruise lines, so we are not booking anything until we KNOW that we will really be cruising!
Think how much fun it will be booking all of those when cruising resumes! :D
I noticed our cabin 9357 was on the list of being a cabin not to book, because the atrium is directly below... I DON'T care... we use eat plugs anyway... but, thank you for your input... I absolutely love your videos... your videos are informative, simply explained, and thorough...
What rooms were those for Deck 9 to avoid?
I'm interested as well I'm on deck 9. I been reading its smokie and smelly. I'm just wondering is it true?
I need the pdf of worst cabins but dont know how to access.

Oh yea….. deck 17 under serenity, didn’t sleep 3 nights! Offered extended balcony for rest of cruise. They know it!
Hi Kim! Thanks for sharing from personal experience! Much appreciated!
What room you stayed in I have 17234 is that under the Serinty

We are booked for August but the closer we get, the more we think it won’t be happening for us. Especially if we can’t drive through the border. 😭
Ugh! It's so hard not knowing! Hey, did you see my message that you won a cruise car decal? :D
@@TheTravelScouts Yay! 😍 No I did not see that message. Thanks for letting me know. Where can I find that message? lol
@@luv_to_cruise LOL. I am wondering if anyone has seen that they are a winner because no one has responded! lol. I responded to where you wrote "give away" on our live video on The Summit Push channel. Just send me your mailing address and I will send it out to you this week :D thetravelscouts@gmail.com
@@TheTravelScouts sounds good, I will send you an email. I just went back to that video and still don’t see a message. I’m wondering what happened? lol 🤔
@@luv_to_cruise Ok, that is so strange! I am looking at in on the screen right now! What in the world TH-cam? lol
I booked cabin 12503 in October
Did you see our room tour? th-cam.com/video/eVknTBOkMCs/w-d-xo.html
We are in room 14498 can't to get in my own personal hot tub on the balcony
Jealous! lol
@@TheTravelScouts its a first for us we normally do a extended balcony. Just happens my wife fell into a open spot
if you dont like noise a cruise a confined space surrounded by ceiling speakers everywhere , bars disco clubs theatre people confined constantly walkin above your headbelow and on the 3 sides except the balcony of your room, remember the best is,,,,go with the flow and go out rill vlubs close around 2 am and then go to sleep , drink a tall glass of water between alcoholic drinks it will prevent your hangover and island tour dehydration in the morning ,use the toilettes before you walk out the cabin and before goin ashore
Thanks for chiming in the community
Forgot about the roller coaster
I don't believe there are any rooms directly under the roller coaster (or the boarding area)
Mardi Gras doesn’t have any tender ports on her 2 Caribbean itineraries and the anchor will not be used.
Very good point.
Yep good point! I think it's one of the reason's they are building a dock at Half Moon Cay as well so both the Mardi Gras and Celebration can port at a dock!
@@phrewilly8556 Mardi Gras nor the Celebration have Half Moon on any of there itineraries.
No cabin room is bad. I’ll on a 🚢, most people are just picky. Noise doesn’t bother me. The executive suite are not in a good position either.
Yes, its really a matter of preference. :) Thanks for watching and chiming in!
The balcony cabins on 10, 11,12 above the restaurants are awful. They leave the music on from the restaurants 24/7. There's also a light that shines all night.
I agree with the elevator because I was right behind it In a handicap room and princess decided to rape up the carpet In the middle of the night and kept us awake all night,
Thanks for the comment!
