Mardi Gras

7 Night Eastern Caribbean (Port Canaveral Roundtrip)

Sail date: August 06, 2022

Ship: Mardi Gras

Traveled as: Large Group

Reviewed: 2 years ago

Review summary

Beautiful ship. Small accommodations… state rooms, theaters, pools, elevators, etc. Good staff. Ok food with a decent variety. Stunned that a breakfast staple like bacon was NOT available daily at the buffet, instead only every other day! Great restaurant dining options. We especially loved the hibachi. Loved the comedians as always! Thoroughly enjoyed the 24 hr ice cream. Disembarkation was pretty awful. Stuck in hallways, stairwells, and elevators for like 45 minutes or so when disembarking.

Thanks for the review. I have seen many comments about the venues being too small and poorly designed. Carnival began serving bacon only every other day at the buffet due to supply shortages, but it appears to be a permanent change to save money at this point. It is better now to let Carnival take your luggage the night prior to debarkation than to do self-debarkation, since it seems most take their own luggage now.

I’ve noticed the same with people taking off their own bags who can’t really carry their own bags. Happy you enjoyed your cruise!

Things are different now for sure. A lot more people have now decided to step off the ship with their luggage and the lines are long and slow.
