Review summary

Overall, we enjoyed so much of what Mardi Gras had to offer. They have a lot of places to eat so there were not long wait times for food. You have to get used to the layout of the ship and how its different from traditional carnival ships. For those who are first timers on the Mardi Gras, I would recommend watching a youtube video of the ship.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship is beautiful but passengers have stained the carpet in the hallways by putting there food and drink containers in the hallway.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Balcony cabin. It was spacious and freezing at night.

Ship tip

Be prepared for the elevators, they are small, always packed, and you will wait forever for one with space going where you need it to go.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We shopped and went to the casino at BahaMar

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5
We shopped and went to Margaritaville. The usual DJ was not there, and the new one was not as good. Very little crowd engagement compared to before.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Very congested if you get off early. Port staff yelled ALOT.
