Exceeded my expectations by dahlgrdm

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Mardi Gras

This was our first Carnival cruise but will not be our last. The ship was amazing and the crew were terrific. We did my time dining, which allows you to request a table starting about 15 minutes before the dining room opens. The three included dining rooms have different food and the menu is on the Carnival Hub app. All of the food was excellent. The shows and other activities were very well done. I haven’t a single complaint about our cruise.

Crowded and full of kids by vikilonsdale

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Mardi Gras

Wished I knew about winter break. There were many kids running amuck. Knocking on doors, running through hallways and playing with the elevators. This ship's elevators are small and crowded. We used the stairs to climb 8 or more decks routinely because of the wait for the elevators. Loved the complimentary restaurant choices. Beautiful ship. Great comedy shows. Lots of activities and lots of fun We enjoyed the soda package. Able to serve ourselves for soda is easy and quick

Average at best by tom88117657

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Mardi Gras / Destination: Caribbean - Western

Some things good but food just average, shows did not stand out and too much for a room they think is a suite with no benefit to paying more.

Some real +'s, a few -'s. by Rolretire3231

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Mardi Gras / Destination: Caribbean - Western

We've cruised with Carnival a lot, Platinum. Very disappointed in main dining, The Palms. Long waits, mediocre menu, food. The cell phone system just didn't work well for us. Many plusses, ship design, Lido, Deck 8, cleanliness, entertainment. Lost an important piece of luggage during debarkation. It had Rx's, my wife's wallet, some $$$. Customercare appears to care less. No personal response to urgent e-mail . A "Lost & Found" posting was not reassuring. "Lost & found items are sent to a central location. It may take 90 days to return items." Personal concern totally lacking!!!

it's a beautiful ship by kwayyis

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Mardi Gras / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

Cruised with two young kids. Staff was fantastic. Many of the people on board were not so much. A lot of rudeness and impatience. People arguing about who was waiting for the elevator first. Witnessed a lot of rudeness towards staff. For us we will likely stop choosing large ships and may stop cruising Carnival. This has less to do with Carnival, and more with the clientele Carnival seems to attract. The ship was beautiful, the food was fantastic.

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Mardi Gras / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

Really enjoyed this ship - The Carnival Mardi Gras. Lots to do! Did a cake decorating class that was a lot of fun! Entertainment everywhere! When you want to chill the Serenity Deck is wonderful with great bar service. The staff was wonderful and food great - lots of choices!

Very Sastisfied by bwtech

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Mardi Gras / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

Our trip was for my wife's 50th birthday. The staff was great and I didn't even have to mention that it was her birthday. I would like to see the schedule better organized but I do understand the reason for the overlapping in shows due to the number of people on board. I guess when the entertainment is that good you want to see it all...

Great Cruise, staff, food,entertainment by cerwaysr

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Mardi Gras / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

I have sailed with Carnival 9 times so am familiar with their cruises. Employees work tirelessly and should be commended. I suggest you book directly with Carnival as I have in the past with the exception of this time. Big mistake!!! is awful and to have to spend nearly 6 hours over two days on phone for a simple mistake on their part is totally unacceptable. I have been a Spirit card holder and frequent flyer for nearly 20 years and it means nothing to them. Such a terrible experience I might take to Twitter. Yes, that bad. Dont try to make a change because they screw u royally with pricing and there is fine print somewhere that a magnifying glass can't see it.
