Review summary

We were surprised at the # of people on this cruise. The ship holds 6,000 and there were about 2,800 people on this cruise. When we pulled up for embarcation we were very surprised at the length of the line but it went very quickly and we were on the ship in about 15 min. The ship is basically new and it felt like we were the first to sail. Our room attendant was Jaya and he was always on top of things to make sure our room was always clean. We had Vincent, Kim and Milah in the Palm Dining room and have never had better attendants. It was like they were part of your family. Because of the low # of guests there were no crowds and even in the Marketplace there were plenty of tables. One negative thing we found that the Street Eats restaurants were only open about 3 hours a day and always during the dining hours so never got to try them. Debarcation was a breeze off boat in about 10 minutes with no problems. Would highly recommend the Mardi Gras. We sail RC most of the time but this ranked right up there with them.

I'm not sure where your numbers came from, but John Heald, Carnival's brand ambassador, stated there were 4,062 guests onboard your sailing.
