Mardi Gras Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We will try a different cruise line next time. We had a wonderful time with our 13 person family group. People had told us before that Carnival is a "Party Ship" and we had always responded that we had not noticed that and were not bothered by that. This time we did notice it and noted that the sound levels were always terribly loud. The other thing we noticed was the extra costs for everything.

We were on the first Mardi Gras in 1981 and were thrilled to be able to be on this ship now. It was a great cruise. Memories were made!

It was a great cruise! Loved the ship, especially loved the crew, loved the entertainment, all the trivia games, the fun ship people that did all the games and trivia, especially Clint! It was really great! Only complaint was Seafood Shack and Emerils.

Over all, we had great time on the Mardi Gras. We had 1 day of motion sickness due to the waves. But we brought dramamine and scopolamine. I would do another cruise. May be try a different boat next time.

Mardi Gras is a huge ship and is well staffed and very clean. During spring break time there were over six thousand people onboard. The ship handles the crowds very well for the most part. Pool areas and water slide areas do not have nearly enough chairs. Need a better policy/enforcement of those who throw a towel on a chair and expect it to be theirs for the whole day and aren't even there most of the time.

Overall, a great family vacation with the children, grandparents and friends.

Overall we had an amazing vacation but differences were noticed cruising post covid.. We still had a great time and so did our kids!! Can't wait to be cruising again.

Do NOT USE This travel agency...Tina was aweful! Didn't give us great options. Absolutely no follow through on what she told us and literally told me 'i don't know' when I asked questions.

It was Okay Fun for only a Few Days The Ports were Cool But Being on The Ship For More than a Few Days Got Boring

Smoothest ship we ever sailed on. The staff was friendly. The food was awful. I’m glad we brought snacks. Even on the formal nights the steak was terrible. We all got sick one night so pretty sure we had food poisoning. If you cruise to eat don’t go on this ship.

Great cruise and stops. Too crowded and over worked crew, but we still had fun.

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.

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

I was so disappointed. The was looking fwd to the Hero lounge and ws greatly disappointed why was the tv only showing women's softball and women's cricket?????? A little NCAA basketball WAS OK..BUT JEESH. What happened to the food? It wasnt nealy as good as the Panorama.... the mardi gras is too big IMO....The pig and anchor was grossssss. Room service menu is lame! wtf happened??

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.

little by little carnival is takeing things away verylittle shrimp no bread baskets o n table they give you one piece of bread.you have to ask for more you have to ask for coffe at dinner all moast all the shows are by the same entertainers

did not enjoy this cruise I have cruise with Carnival for many years this is the first time come i come back happy.

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!!!

The cruise was great and will do it again but benches by the elevators would be great to sit on while waiting on the elevator

This was a girl’s trip! We laughed from the time we got up until we went to bed! We met the most amazing people and made life long friend with them. Truly an amazing trip full of wonderful memories!!
