Review summary

Went to celebrate me and my husband's birthday. This is my second time on the Mardi Gras but his first. He was like a child at play. Eyes big like diamonds with all there was to do and see.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We had a 10:30-11 boarding time and getting on the ship took less than 30 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Main dining, Lido Marketplace, Fahrenheit 555, Chibangs and Tepanyaki were amazing. Also enjoyed Shaq's Big Chicken, Guy's Burgers and Lig & Anchor and Blue iguana were convenient and satisfying.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Pools/Spa were nice and enjoyed them even in the evenings. Bolt coaster was awesome just wish it was a free ride.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Best cruise director Kyndall Fire!!! Best DJ was DJ Clark's, comedy shows were gut bustling hilarious and the shows at center stage were great.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All the staff made it hard to want to leave. Made me feel like the only passenger on board.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Clean and were constantly cleaning. Sanitizer stations and wash basins everywhere along with touch less public area doors.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was clean, balcony was nice size and beds were very comfortable

Ship tip

This ship is huge and you will get lots of steps in. Bring a sweater or light jacket for the evenings. Make sure to due the verifly because it makes the entire embarkation process smoother. Also do your muster station as soon as you board since it only takes 5 minutes.

Easy as long as you have a passport. Those using birth certificates had a much longer process

We are sailing over Holloween, can’t wait. Cruised Mardi Gras last year November, food was awful in the main dining room at dinner. I’m hoping it was because of the newness of the ship. We love Carnival normally. Even the steak house and seafood, paid dining was not great, food was ok service was struggling to survive. Hope to see some people onboard
