Mardi Gras Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Everyone had a great time, lots of food options and different activities to do during sea days.

Ultimately the cruise was beautiful and relaxing. Although, the food was not that great to me and my family it might be good to someone else. If you are not going for the food then this is a nice cruise to take.

The ship was immaculate. I loved that the Lido cafeteria is not just a big open chaotic room, it's divided into eating areas which is so much nicer. It never seemed overly crowded. The staff in the dining room (and everywhere else also) was great, but the timing of the food was very slow... at least 5-10 minutes between courses. One night we just left after waiting over 20 minutes for dessert. That being said, it was some of the best cruise food I've ever had. New options every night. Lots of free choices of where to eat, plus the specialty restaurants you can pay for. The live game shows were a lot of fun and laughs. Entertainment was good, but the options kinda fizzled out the last night. For being so large, we could still feel that we were on a ship. (My family loves the gentle rolling of the ship through the ocean.)

Carnival and our CD (Cookie) parted ways mid cruise…this was kind of upsetting as we picked this itinerary to be with him. There were many event not hosted but appeared on the app and we missed out on a lot of fun. Overall we were there with family and it was fine but it didn’t go unnoticed.

My family and I enjoyed the cruise but we were not pleased with the food seems like the menu never changed you were eating the same thing the whole time.

Never again, waist the money on a Havana Cabana, no plusses, just minuses. Not sure if Im ready for Carnival any time soon. Ship is beautiful. Entertainment was great. Food was good if you dont mind all the up charges. Specialty restaurant up charges are too high $48pp considering youve already paid for your dinner. Spa is great. Pools are small but you can usually find a lounge. Shade is at a premium. Lots of kids. Bars are slow. Drinks are weak, not sure they add any alcohol. Casino is big and nice with a separate non smoking area.

It was good, the food needs a upgrade it taste like mre's that you get in the field army.skip the stop in grand turk.

Great ship. I'd book another cruise on the Mardi Gras...going to different destinations in the future

I love cruising and this ship offers a great variety of stuff for everyone

I enjoyed my first cruise on the Mardi Gras might be too spoil to try the other ones

The food on the boat was not the best, in the buffets it was always the same meals few seasons for so many people, in the dinners in the restaurants the waits were long to serve the meals and the menu was not the best. The shows were repeated 2 times. Shops on different floors. In short, I don't think I'll travel with carnival again, it's my second time and I've already seen that it's not the best. I'm still traveling with Royal Caribean.

The ship was HUGE and nice. We took advantage of a cabana on Loft 19 and they treated us like royalty there. Our cabin Stewart (Mario) was awesome! I would do this again but remember to bring our passport next time. Fortunately Diane (our Cruise Advisor) walked us through getting by without it. Otherwise we would have missed the boat. Thanks Diane!!!

The mardi gras ship was amazing so much so do impossible to do it all...fully booked cruise and it did not feel crowded at all no lines ..always room in one of the pools..food amazing

We enjoyed everything, but what stood out the most was the personalized service. Being addressed by name by the staff was impressive considering the number of people on board.

The ship was awesome, the food choices and variety of shows were amazing. We are already planning on going again next year around the same time.

First time cruising with Carnival and we will forbsure be back!

The money spent was well worth it. Amazing experience. Loved every minute. Would definitely go again.

We have sailed on Carnival many times and this was one of our favorite as we love the Mardi Gras ship with the added food choices and the added shows with Center Stage.

Overall I was extremely disappointed in the food, entertainment and service on the cruise. I will not be booking Carnival again.

I'm giving the cruise an A+ and the cruise directory, Jacky Tang, an A+++++. He is off the charts fantastic and a great cruise begins and ends with the Cruise Director.
