Review summary

Overall the Mardi Gras was a great ship .. There were no long lines and elevators we used in the Aft of the Ship were never busy .. We utilized all the different pool areas except for lido.and enjoyed all of them . Tried 10 times to change the title of this review. But for some reason it just won't change sorry
