Mardi Gras Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We had a very enjoyable cruise taking our daughter and grandkids.

The 1st half of our cruise was amazing... the second half, was kind of bad, but to no fault to carnivals... we ended up catch Flu A. I got it 5 days in and the hubs got it 6 days in. Unfortunately, we were confined to the room. I wish people who were sick would either not cruise or wear a mask to protect those around them

First time on the Mardi Gras, first time on an Elite casino offer, first time in an Excel suite and it’s going to be hard to top this one.

Overall had a good time inspite of the bad weather

It was a very enjoyable trip of getting to just relax and rest. The boat offered up a lot to do but being able to just simply rest and not be concerned with the rigors of life is so refreshing. The staff was exceptional and I have nothing negative to say about any of them. They all rose to the occasion.

My favorite part of this cruise was we upgraded to a room with loft 19. We were almost always the only ones in the hot tubs up there which means we got to know our servers personally. They were phenomenal

It was a great ship, but it rained the entire time

The weather was horrible. Wave heights about 15 ft and larger at times winds,strong for a couple of days at over 60 mph but wow the ship handled those conditions beautifully. In our cabin we didn’t notice how rough the seas were. Cabin 8305 right next to the Havana bar and was totally quiet, we couldn’t hear any music or anything from the bar.

It was fine. No real issues the entertainment could’ve been better. They cancelled one of our stops.

Food sucked, condiments were watered down, liquor was watered down. At the cost of the cruise, and the additional $1000 drink package nothing should be watered down. Staff should be overflowing with enthusiasm and at least look happy to be there.

It was ok coffee and food was not available as we expected some people were very nice some extremely rude. The house keeper we had on floor nine was amazing. The chef cutting the meat in the breakfast buffet was amazing. Also on a carnival excelsior we had type amazing people in the Bahamas man and women they made the trip and we’re great the electors on the ship weren’t to good but I guess with so many people. But the coffee and food was an issue went for coffee at 4am no coffee in the whole shop and no cream/milk breakfast time was late nit untill 730. Things need to change with the food and deink

Drink package is worth it for 4+ drinks a day, try all the food, see the Love and Marriage show, havana bar is awesome. Serenity area is delightful for a relax moment.

The food options were amazing and diverse. The shows were hit or miss but Celestial Strings was the absolute highlight. Server staff were great and very personable. The ship lacks many engaging activities so we had to entertain ourselves for most of the day until the evening shows came around. Overall the ship was great, the food was excellent and we would enjoy doing Mardi Gras again.

Overall, I had a wonderful time on this cruise. Likely, I would travel on this ship again.

The Mardi Gras is a great ship, easy to get around on with lots of dining options!!

We experienced some difficulties during this cruise, we addressed the issues with supervisors. Mardi Gras is a large ship that holds over 6,000 people excluding the crew. There are going to be issues, but we enjoyed all of the ports and our stateroom. We will continue to cruise, but not with Carnival.

Thermal spa suite is worth it. We had a great time. Only issue was deciding what to miss out on because there were too many things we wanted to do that were happening at the same time.

The ship is very large, so should be aware of that. The view from lido deckwas great .The windows were always clear. The staff from all areas were outstanding!

Amazing cruise. From the easy process of using Go Port and shuttle services, Port Canaveral Terminal 3 check in process, beautiful ship, employees of the ship, culture I can go on and on, but I do hold very strong with the bed issue in our cabin. Felt a little sketch on the ride to Porta Plata city center with the surroundings. Those are my only two negitives. I will definitely sail her agian but with a different itineraries.

I really enjoyed myself. Nice Nice Ship!!!!!!!!!!!
