Mardi Gras Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This was a very relaxing cruise for my wife and I. We enjoyed every minute of this vacation. This was also her graduation cruise. She just got her bachelor degree.

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise. It would have been nice to have some more sunshine and less wind, but we still had a very nice time.

There is a wide variety of places to eat on this ship. We only ate in the MDR Twice during the cruise. The ship is large and requires quite a bit more walking than a smaller ship. The crew on this ship were very professional and friendly. This is a great ship and we had a great cruise.

This was our second time on the Marci gras the food was much better the first time They seem to be serving lower quality food also we missed having Keith in the piano bar he was the best.

We would sail Mardi Gras again. It was a great experience.

Even though we have visited the ports of call before we really enjoyed the ship. All cruise ships should be designed this way. Lots of places to eat, easy to get around, very beautiful settings, modern, convenient, comfortable, very enjoyable and entertaining

We love to cruise to see new places and have experiences. If you are a party person, the Mardi Gras is for you....we are not, so we will choose a smaller ship in the future.

We went another couple. Our goal wa to relax and be so busy we were tired at the end. The week went nice and slow. We enjoyed some shows and music and just had a wonderful time.

I would not want to be on a ship this big again. Too many people - an incubator for covid

Overall we had a great cruise. Large ship, lots of people. Carnival doesn’t promote hand washing the way other cruise lines do. For example, I didn’t even know there were hand washing sinks by the buffet until day 3. They are tucked away in the corner. Lots of people were sick toward the end of the cruise. I would definitely do this cruise again. Maybe take the stairs more often. The elevators are small and crowded.

The cruise ship was beautiful but very chaotic Many food options but not quality. Needs more soda stations thru out.

Free suite and free drinks so you won't hear a lot of complaints from me lol

Not to lie, very disappointed with food. Best restaurant on board was Pig & Anchor, and Guys Burgers. Steaks were sub standard, not tender, desserts were nil. Choices were cookies, sponge cake. They had a place that “sold” desserts, which I have never run into before on other cruise lines. Buffet was better than most of the restaurants where you paid and the foodwas only ok on the buffet. Half the time , coffee machines were out of coffee or hot water. I love cruising and have been on over 50 cruisers, this was a big disappointment. Entertainment was also only ok. Several in our party (over 20 of us) and others on board didn’t have great experience with employees at customer service desk or restaurant hosts. Bad attitudes as if they didn’t care. Now I know why I don’t do Carnival. Next family cruise will be on Royal Caribbean or Princess. Food quality is always great and entertainment is better.

The Mardi Gras is a beautiful ship but it’s big and busy

Loved Mardi Gras. Can't wait to sail on her again!

We are already looking for another one Hell yes it’s a must

I think I would like to shop around for different cruises at different times with different passengers. I think about all the best and worse parts of the last week and all of them have to do with fellow passengers. This would never happen on Carnival, but I would spring at a chance to cruise with 50 as an age maximum. Not everyone was bad, but there were motorized scooters EVERYWHERE on this ship. More than once, I had to help fellow passengers in a capacity that made me feel like staff - lifting, holding doors, walking to grab something for someone, etc. that it wasn’t a very relaxing week. This time of year I thought it would be better because I was dodging the spring break and teeny boppers and college frat stars. But be careful what you wish for, I didn’t get very much of that, and instead got a whole lot of folks that don’t want to come to terms with the fact that they are retired, getting a lot older and quite curmudgeon-y. This January cruise to the Caribbean was practically a trial run for assisted living. Or at least a senior citizen community. I had a good time. I did! But if you’re a millennial like me and you are in the service industry working mostly with folks older than you, well, it might not be too relaxing! You might feel like this is more work because boomers this week didn’t seem to want to allow me to relax.

It's been a cold January in Florida, so it was cold the day we boarded and rainy. However, we had sunshine for the remainder of our cruise. We have been to these ports numerous times and have participated in MA y excursions. This rime around we really took the time to just relax. We only did the one excursion in Ambee Cove. The ship itself is beautiful. It's big but not too big like the RC oasis class ships. There really isn't a cruise I don't like.

We had a good time, but probably the first and last time we do Carnival. We would definitely go back to Royal when we cruise again.

I have nothing to add, thank you but this want let me stop unless I have more words
