Mardi Gras Cruise Reviews - Reviews

The cruise was good & the ports are still the same with no changes 🛳🛳

A great time had by all! Fun is what you make it!!

One of the best cruises to date. Great ship, great staff, excellent ports of call and overall a wonderful trip. A definitely must go on the Mardi Gras.

Overall this was a great cruise. The ship is full of so many options and places to explore. Try something new - the ropes course is so fun!

Not sure I’m going to use Carnival again unless they up the food quality

My wife and I have taken over 30 cruises - mostly Celebrity and Royal Caribbean with a few Norwegian and Disney in the mix. We have always been hesitant to try Carnival because many of their ships don't like that nice in port, and we were afraid of an over the top, hard drinking frat party type experience. Maybe unfair, but our impressions kept us off Carnival. When Mardi Gras came out, we did the research and felt it was a different type of Carnival ship that might work for us. We were still unsure if the experience was going to work for us as we boarded but we were ready to try something new. Are we ever glad we did! We had such a good time! We're in our later 50s and felt there was plenty about the experience that was a great match for us, with a lot of energy and fun. Many of the ships we've been taking seemed a little too sleepy, and this experience was just what we were looking for. We'll be booking the Carnival Celebration next.

It was just and excellent cruise the right temp and no rain

I would rate this ship 9/10..only reason for 9 was the buffet was soooooo small..hardly any options at all. Other than that, everything was perfect! Special shout out to Ravi (I think that’s the correct spelling) in the casino..after the first drink, I never had to tell him again what I wanted and he knew my name! Kyndall Fire was by far the best cruise director I’ve ever been on board with! I highly recommend this ship!

I love the Mardi Gras. There are so many free food options which makes the Lido buffet less crowded. Staff is great and friendly.

Rouse was great, there is a lot to do on the ship

This ship was so big never had to hardly wait in line for food or felt crowded at the pools. Would go down to the pool by the chicken place around 10ish and still had a chair available. Never had to get up early and run down to have a spot. Also i am not a sit in the pool person but they have it to where u can lay out and still be in the water. Its like an overflow from the pool. The Roller coaster however i did get to ride and it was cruise ship quality but was broke down all but one day. I loved this ship will be taking it again just hopefully i do better next time at getting around and not getting myself turned around the whole time. Great job on this ship Carnival it is my favorite!

Each port of call had their own unique flavor. We enjoyed all 3 ports.

Had a great time , definitely need to take another to experience everything the Mardi Gras has to offer

This cruise was filled with wonderful, amazing and fun experiences that we will always remember. The excursions at each port we chose were fantastic. Everyone on board from staff to fellow cruisers was a joy to be around. We were all there for the same reason, to have a great time.

My vacation was absolutely amazing. It was much needed. Next up, Celebration in July. Carnival never disappoints.

Can’t wait to cruise again! Might not be this ship however!

It was a very fun cruise. Cruise Director was amazing, Crew was amazing. 10/10 would cruise again!!

Overall we enjoyed our cruise. Our cabin steward was great. The staff was all great overall.

This trip was definitely needed. Having my entire family on this cruise is something that we look forward to every year.

Great except the movies under the stars. Carnival could not telltime and played the movie an hour too early causing us to miss the movie. My young son was very disappointed because no other kid movies were shown.
