Review summary

Mardi Gras is a great ship! It’s huge and it has a lot to offer. Had a wonderful time with friends and family. The food could have been better (both selections and taste) but it wasn’t anything to complain about. There was a pretty big fight on the ship the second to last sea day so that was annoying, but other than that, all was well!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Easy, simple process. Not a lot of standing around or waiting.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food wasn’t as good as it’s been in the past and the options were limited on the Lido.

Onboard Activities

So, so much to do….

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Comedy shows were hilarious! Percy Crews 2 hit home with his Old School Parenting show.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Staff was pleasant and welcoming as always. Some staff came off a little short, like in the dining hall, but not too many.

Great Port. There was a free beach right off the ship but of course, it wasn’t really free because you had to pay for mainly everything else. The food was good and the stores were decent.

Unless you do an excursion you’re stuck on this really small part of the island when you get off the ship. There are quite a few stores for shopping and a hand full of restaurants to eat and drink at but that’s about it. Flamingos there were beautiful!

Same as before. Full of fun and simple entertainment. Went to a different Señor Frogs this time around but it was still a lot of fun. Nothing has really changed since I’ve been here a few years back.
