A: $15 but good luck. we just got off the Mardi Gras and we were canceled 3x's. too windy, it drizzled (apparently) so they have to close it for 4 hours. we finally got on after our 4th try.

Answer Question
Q: Is the Chibang restaurant on the Mardi Gras, like the other extra cost places on the other ships? Meaning lunch is free and dinner cost extra?
Thumbs Up
0
A: As of right now, it’s included as a free dining option but they are not open or lunch. WhenI sailed on Mardi Gras last New Years and again in April Cucina was also a free dining option but I believe they have since started charging a fee. Now would... I do either of them if I were paying? Chibang was a disaster. Twice. They could not keep up with demand as it was always packed and they did not have enough help at the time so probably not but Cucin, I would definitely pay a fee for. On Mardi Gras its far better than any of the other carnival ships I’ve been on. I do not know if they offer the free pasta lunch like they used to.See More

Answer QuestionA: Unfortunately no. Please set one with your teens and stick to it. We just got off the Mardi Gras and there was a very large teen population creating havoc. They were knocking on doors in the middle of the night, throwing chips on the floors, hanging... in elevators, running in the halls. Teens should not be running the halls at 2 in the morning.See More

A: hello, we just arrived yesterday from mardi gras and no there isn’t one. the 15-17 ye old club ends at midnight. we had curfew for our son but apparently not everyone else had the same rules for their kids. strongly suggest everyone to enforce this o... n their family and avoid any issues on your vacation. very big ship with lots of people and not a lot of staff which is busy running ship not babysitting. enjoy !See More

A: I just went on a back to back and it didn’t appear to have a curfew.
Answered by cruisejunkie09 on June 30, 2022
A: Yes. their is a jogging track. It's a bit smaller than most other ships, and if you are used to going to the gym in the morning like I am, you will find that is smaller also.
Answered by themouse11 on June 14, 2022
A: I have never been on the ship but I saw a deck plan that had a jogging track on it.
Answered by joleenwalther on June 14, 2022
A: You can when shops open but for best outcome you start wearing them a few days before cruising and then during cruise.
Answered by kelskazoo22 on June 12, 2022
A: no I don't think so. just buy some ahead of time

A: I just take Dramamine with me and take it after boarding
Answered by bateyrose on June 14, 2022
A: If you are prone to sea sickness don’t wait to board the ship. And don’t take Dramamine. It will make you tired. We use a product called Meclizine HCI Antiemetic. You can purchase this from a pharmacist as it’s behind the counter (at least at Targ... et) or I believe on Amazon. It is non drowsy. Its not a prescription and you take it starting 24 hours before you cruise and each day of the cruise. My husband is prone to seasickness and since we started taking this he has never had an issue. Talk to your pharmacy, they should be able to helpSee More

Answered by flparrothead on May 29, 2022
A: Google the ship name along with room legend and search images, it’ll show what all the symbols mean. Most of them are configurations of bedding and additional pullmans. Hope this helps or was related to your question.
