Review summary

This was my second time on the Mardi Gras. I was able to watch shows I had missed the first time around. I made sure I picked my time dining so I could take advantage of the free specialty restaurants.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Port Canaveral has the best embarkation at this location. Pull into the garage hand porters your luggage then park in the garage.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Since the ship is still fairly new everything was great!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

This was my second time on Mardi Gras there was so much to do that I didn't have a chance to see all the shows the first time around so booked a second cruise different ports. Loved the serenity area.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Never a dull moment. Cruise Director was Chris the Scotsman. He kept everyone dancing at the parties. Great time at the 80s rock and glow party.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

Though I don't have young children I can see families enjoying their vacation. The ship offers a beautiful miniature golf area which we used along with a small water park with slides. Also used the slides. This area was on the opposite side of the ship. I loved that they separated the kids area from the serenity area.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I didn't encounter any problems with staff. Everyone was helpful and friendly.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

As I stated before loved the design of the outside of the ship. I wasn't a fan of the grand stage area.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Had an inside cabin this time around. Nice and quiet. Bathroom is tight. But shower has a door and not a curtain. Room had lots of storage space.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5

Been to San Juan many times and have family there. My sister met us and we spent the day with her. We walked around and went to the pigeon park and the Fort.
