Our room steward Gede was very kind and attentive. Our MDR team was great! James, Caesar and Axel were very efficient and brought fun to every meal. Budayasa and Vladislav at breakfast were very interesting and seemed to really care about us. All of the restaurant teams were great

Ship Quality

Even though this was a mega ship, the flow seemed a lot easier to navigate then other Carnival ships. Extremely clean, always saw someone cleaning everything

Our city tour and lunch was one of the best excursions I've ever had due to our tour guide Carlos "Big Papa". He was very informative and lots of fun.

Always enjoy this port. Good place to lay back and chill.

Appreciate your details. What a great story about being on the original Mardi Gras and the newest rendition. Not too many people saying that. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.

A positive attitude is always a must for me. Glad you enjoyed the "newer" Mardi Gras! Thank you for your review.
