Review summary

This cruise was filled with wonderful, amazing and fun experiences that we will always remember. The excursions at each port we chose were fantastic. Everyone on board from staff to fellow cruisers was a joy to be around. We were all there for the same reason, to have a great time.

Embarkation

Everything during the embarkation went smoothly and the wait to actually board wasn’t terribly long.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Every member of the staff was courteous and helpful. The greetings everywhere made us feel like rock stars. A special shout-out to Daniel, our room steward. He is full of energy and made sure our every want or need was attended too. He is a true asset to Carnival.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I was amazed at the cleanliness of the Mardi Gras. Everywhere we went on the ship we saw constant cleaning. Especially surfaces like elevator buttons , all doors and hand rails. Our room was kept nice and tidy every morning.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Although small, it’s what I expected from previous cruises. There was still plenty of room to move around and a nice couch to sit and rest on. I was amazed at all of the storage for clothes, luggage, shoes etc. The balcony was a nice touch to be able to sit and see all of the views.

Ship tip

Drink plenty of water. We ordered the 24 pack of water before the cruise and ordered another 12 pack before the end of our cruise. We drank it all and we’re glad we had it.
