Mardi Gras Cruise Reviews - Reviews

overall it was a great cruise, the staff was great, the food was plentiful

Relaxing, great food, wonderful staff. We really have no complaints

For wheelchair accessibility I will reconsider a different option for my next cruise.

Overall, not a bad experience considering I don’t particular care for Carnival ships. I view Carnival as the “economy class cruising”.

We waited over 2 yrs for this because of COVID, wish we had taken out deposit back and gone to Disney world.

We were really looking forward to this ship but overall we were very disappointed. The crowds were crazy! It was not relaxing at all. Thankful we got the thermal spa package so we did get some relaxing time. Our cruise director was Chris Williams (the flaying Scotsman). He was wonderful. A 10 out 10. We've been on many RCC Oasis ships that are large like this ship and have never experienced lines and crowds like this. Not sure how Royal is doing it differently??

overall a good experience. hard when you have 10-18 people to get seats together on the lido and by the pool - but we survived.

We had a great time and really had very little to find wrong with the ship, food or destinations. Only disappointment would be the entertainment and activities. They have been the same for every cruise.

Great ship and crew throughly enjoyed every moment I will book another cruise on her

Very disappointed in the smoking of marijuana in the smoking area. That's basically all you smelled when walking through.

Was not impressed with entertainment or food that cost extra

Definitely worth it. Exceeded expectations. A little bit annoying with people bringing Bluetooth speakers to the private pools. Food was great. Some of the specialty restaurants were overrated on other reviews.

The cruise was nice and relaxing. It was my husband's first time cruising. He said he really enjoyed the experience and would like to go again.

We love the Mardi Gras and look forward to sailing on her again in the near future.

Overall it was a decent enough trip. Needs improvement though.

Mardi Gras was worth the wait. We’re we’re supposed to sail her 11/2019 and it was postponed, then Covid happened. Can’t wait to sail her again with different ports.

This was our eighth cruise with Carnival. Passengers were out of control by fighting and pool having to be shut down first day from a kid in a diaper that spill sewage in the pool. Carnival standards have lowered from the 5 star treatment my wife and I have been accustomed to. We are seniors now and this was the first trip we've ever felt bullied by other passengers. Very sad.

Not my best experience. A fight broke out on the lido deck one day so half of the lido deck was closed for a while. To many people in one ship.

Overall great experience, everything from cabin expectations to dining was great. Shore excursion planning is important, make sure to book early as they fill up quickly.

My husband and I had a great time on the Mardi Gras. The ship does feel closed off though which is surprising at how big she is. However, it rarely felt like there were over 6,000 people on board! We would do it again.
