Our family three weeks ago got off the Mardi Gras ship. We had a blast. The food was wonderful. The service was tremendous. There was stuff to do everywhere. We love the carnival app. It allows you to keep on top of what is going on during your cruise. We ate at the Palm breakfast and dinner. We love our time dining. We fell in love with our waitress from the jump. She took care of all of our needs and we even had our 2-year-old grandson with us. She brought us more food for him than any two-year-old could possibly eat. We ate at ChiBang a Mexican/ Chinese food restaurant. We loved deck 8 at the aft. Guys flavor town. The pool area was great for our family. The bar area was fantastic as well. Guys burger joint, shack chicken sandwich, the pizza shop and Guys BBQ were our go to lunch options. We didn't eat at the buffet, not because we didn't like the food. For drinks, the brass magnolia, the alchemy bar, the Havana bar, and the center stage bar were our go-to places for drinks. The shows were top notch productions. Everything we saw was incredible.. our trip consisted of, Costa Maya, Cozumel and Honduras. Our room was bright and cheerful. We had a balcony room. That was wonderful. We had a wonderful time and will definitely board the Mardi gras again wherever it may take us.
Na, watch the Nog vlog. They give you a walking tour to actually show how to navigate the ship. Even going as far as finding hidden stairwells and “mini decks” or breezeways to hang out in. They haven’t sailed Mardi Gras yet, but they have done a ton of others. However, I give credit where is due and this video does go into detail about what each place has to offer. So that’s good.
Normally we cruise on Royal, but figured we'll try Mardi Gras. I'm looking forward to a good time at the end of this month, this video was very helpful. Thank you.
Great Tour of The Mardi Gras, One of the best video's to date. Packed full of information, My wife and I are going on it September 2023 and are looking forward to it.
Took Mardi Gras in April. On Wonder of the seas as I type this. Both beautiful ships from great cruise lines. But.. oasis class ships are a league of their own. Wonders top deck is just on another level.
@@s.s.5376 thank you! I saw Mardi Gras in port when I left! Our cruise got re routed from St Thomas / St Maarten to Cozumel / Roatan because of the hurricane but the ship is amazing!
I just got off Harmony of the sea last Sunday, i enjoyed it so much I booked Wonder of the Sea while I was on board, i can’t wait to go on Wonder, I went on Mardi Gras in 2021 very nice ship I may go on her next yr again
Guy’s burger joint is located up on deck 17 near club (ages 15-17) C02 and the Warehouse Arcade. Not on deck 16 as you stated. Sailing on this ship in Nov.2024!
I've never sailed on the Carnival Mardi Gras before, but I did go on the Carnival (Victory) Radiance, Carnival Sunshine, and Royal Caribbean Independence Of The Seas cruiseship. I would love to go on the Carnival Mardi Gras cruiseship.💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
The rope course on board is so much fun! Out of habit, I repeated to myself, "I am one with the Force, and the Force is with me." Helps me focus and not misstep.
My brother is taking me on my very first cruise. We leave port on August 17, 2024 coming back August 24. I’ve never been on a cruise before and I’m excited I’m learning I still have to learn all that’s included in my package. he got the drink package the cheers. VIP. I’m not sure what that means. He said we can eat anywhere we want. I’m wondering if that means the special restaurants also
Thank you. Can you remember if the poker is a semi-circular table where you are really playing against the house rather than a rectangular table where you are just playing with others?@@kennywalker4091
Blue Iguana? Don’t think so. I remember it being on the Jubilee but can’t say with certainty. They are basically the same layout, but subtle differences.
I have some concerns about taking a cruise on this ship. Mostly shade related! Are there areas near the pools with seating underneath covering/in shade? and by chance did you notice where the smoking areas are...and if they are in shaded areas?
I don't know, and I don't smoke, but on the few Carnival ships I have been on, I believe those were in the shade from what I had seen. I hope this one is the same, for your sake.
My husband is handicapped, didn't notice anything in the review about elevators. I saw alot of stairs. I thought the food and non alcoholic beverages were included in the price. Any help with these questions would be appreciated. Were going APRIL 2025..
There are elevators on every ship. The speed and how quickly you will get to the deck(s) you need depends on time of day and how busy things are. Venezia by far has the best elevator system.
I would recommend Celebrity, Virgin Voyages, or a European cruise. Carnival and Royal Caribbean (even MSC cruises) tend to cater to more of the partygoing crowd.
I would rather not go to a Cruise owned island, myself. I would rather go to an island country and sample their culture. I would like to go see somewhere I haven't been, like Aruba.
Too many people, had to wait in line for everything. Multiple pools but they are all small and always full, you end up standing in the pool next to someone. It was really dark on the boat.
My wife Amelia and I have sailed on Mardi Gras twice this year and going back in October.. we love it!… we loved every eating venue except the chi bang.. we couldn’t figure out how Chinese people couldn’t cook decent Chinese food 😂😂😂.. it was horrible !!!
Wife and I have enjoyed a number of cruises that all have sailed out of Los Angeles with one exception. We went with friends who booked "cheap" cruise out of New Orleans. It is something we will never do again. There were more toothless tattooed inbreds than we would ever prefer to be around. It felt like we were on a "MAGA" tour.

Thank you for a very extensive tour of Mardi Gras. Hope to sail her again soon.
Took Mardi Gras in April. On Wonder of the seas as I type this. Both beautiful ships from great cruise lines. But.. oasis class ships are a league of their own. Wonders top deck is just on another level.
Just got off Sunday, when we arrived at the port Mardigrass pulled up next to us in the night. Enjoy your time 🎉

Great review, looking forward to our curise in 2024.
Thank you so much for the tour. We cruise in April and never cruised on a ship of this size . Can’t wait
Great video guys. The water was beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Sailing on the Mardi Gras next week. One week from today I will be in Cocoa Beach waiting !!!!!
Loved this... This was my second cruise from September 2022 to March 2023 I worked in as a Patissier...
The rope course on board is so much fun! Out of habit, I repeated to myself, "I am one with the Force, and the Force is with me." Helps me focus and not misstep.
I love this. I'll be doing the same!
I can't do, my fear of heights prevents me and believe me, I tried!
I love this ship. Can't wait to do it again. thanks BIG LIKE
I well be on there in February. Can't wait!
So will I.
I will be there in February, cannot wait.
That was very informative, thanks!

This blog should be helpful for you! cruise.blog/2023/05/10-things-know-you-book-carnival-mardi-gras
I will be on this beautiful ship, September 2024.
Me too…. Sailing next weekend.
I am going on this boat in December and I have been on the original boat
I love Mardi Gras! The elevators were small but other than that it’s a great ship!
?? are there any live poker tables in the casino?? Thanks for the beautiful tour. I am drooling.
Yes, poker, blackjack, roulette etc.
Thank you. Can you remember if the poker is a semi-circular table where you are really playing against the house rather than a rectangular table where you are just playing with others?@@kennywalker4091
Carnival is the BEST! Get yer PaRtY oN ! 🍹👙🕶
yo im going on the 6th of july in port canaveral
Thank you for this video. I’m going in Aug 2023. What’s the app I should get? A
So thank you again.
The Carnival Hub
Carnival mardi gras next cruise September 2024 I'm going to airport southwest airlines to florida
So the only way to make a reservation for the bolt Rollercoaster is through a app? No other options 🤷🏼♀️
Going in May..8 family group
How do you know which restaurant is included and which isn't?
It's on their website and on the Hub. Some are free for lunch but have a small fee for dinner.
No clubs on board Ig :/ I wish there was somewhere where people that aren’t yet 21 to hangout
Go on board this nov see yaa😉
I didn’t see it here, but did they phase out the other bar that would be on Lido across from Red Frog?
Blue Iguana? Don’t think so. I remember it being on the Jubilee but can’t say with certainty. They are basically the same layout, but subtle differences.
Is it really hard to find seating near pools and in bars?
Question:Does it depart from NYC? My husband and I, are taking our first cruise in 2024🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It departs from Port Canaveral, Florida.
That’s a cute car at the pizza place
I have some concerns about taking a cruise on this ship. Mostly shade related! Are there areas near the pools with seating underneath covering/in shade? and by chance did you notice where the smoking areas are...and if they are in shaded areas?

Thank you for taking the time to respond!
Smoking areas are on deck8 and deck 17 and the casino has a smoking section.
There are some shaded area in the Serenity (adult only) quite a few of those big roun cabanas.
Mind you, I haven’t been on this yet but I am learning it very well from these tour videos.
Sound like just a bigger version of their smaller ships. Just more food
My husband is handicapped, didn't notice anything in the review about elevators.
I saw alot of stairs.
I thought the food and non alcoholic beverages were included in the price.
Any help with these questions would be appreciated.
Were going APRIL 2025..
Contact the cruise company and they will help you out with your questions.
There are elevators on every ship. The speed and how quickly you will get to the deck(s) you need depends on time of day and how busy things are. Venezia by far has the best elevator system.
Is blue iguana and Guys burgers extra cost or included in the cost of the cruise?
Extra
They are included on other ships I'm not sure why it would change here.
They are included.
Tetap Semangat 💪💪
Hello. I was wondering if there was or is a ship that has or does have less events? Plus just your basic cruises?
I would recommend Celebrity, Virgin Voyages, or a European cruise. Carnival and Royal Caribbean (even MSC cruises) tend to cater to more of the partygoing crowd.
@@kj_loves_dogsVirgin definitely cater to a party going crowd as well!
Carnival conquest is pretty basic. Lots of fun but not as many events
Going on the Queen Mary is more of a trip across the Atlantic than an entertaining cruise....and coming into New York City must be fantastic.
Carnival elation is pretty basic
They need to upgrade their islands. I want to go to places I've never been. All the money they make, they should buy some Islands like RCC.
I would rather not go to a Cruise owned island, myself. I would rather go to an island country and sample their culture. I would like to go see somewhere I haven't been, like Aruba.
They have Celebration Key and they have Half Moon Cay
They also have a new island they are coming out with in 2025
Where does it sail out of
Orlando
Oke come Zadar
Does the pig restaurant charge
That carnival molten chocolate cake is horrific
It used to taste so good. They ruined it after covid.
Carnival, the ARMPIT of the cruise industry!
Too many people, had to wait in line for everything. Multiple pools but they are all small and always full, you end up standing in the pool next to someone. It was really dark on the boat.
Very cheap? How much. Cheap to me is $1.75- $2.00. Is "cheap" beer on here $4.00?
Please kanyu be! TU Apply! from housekeeping!!!Oke
My wife Amelia and I have sailed on Mardi Gras twice this year and going back in October.. we love it!… we loved every eating venue except the chi bang.. we couldn’t figure out how Chinese people couldn’t cook decent Chinese food 😂😂😂.. it was horrible !!!
Ayyy I’m going in October too
I didn't like chi bang either!
Who was Chinese?? The employees on this ship are not Chinese.
Maybe it was because it was a Chinese-Mexican fusion restaurant. Those 2 don't seem like they go together, to me.
I wish carnival had better islands....my fiance isn't feeling their islands
Coco Cay is amazing. They need something like that.
Half Moon Cay is beautiful. We've booked cruises to go there specifically.
Half Moon Cay is the bomb!
Like Epsteins island ?
More like Coco Cay
Wife and I have enjoyed a number of cruises that all have sailed out of Los Angeles with one exception. We went with friends who booked "cheap" cruise out of New Orleans. It is something we will never do again. There were more toothless tattooed inbreds than we would ever prefer to be around. It felt like we were on a "MAGA" tour.
