Review summary

New Years was the best time to cruise great party atmosphere when you wanted it. Quiet when you needed it. Mardi Gras is a fantastic ship, my favorite so far.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
With so many people embarkation was actually fairly easy and organized. They let you in the terminal but called the letter and number on boarding pass and it went pretty smooth.

Ship tip

Go with the flow, sometimes it's better to go get ice cream instead of waiting for guys burger when they open. Bring your patience, lots of people from all over the world are vacationing.
