It would depend. Being one who has been on multiple carnival ships, I would not recommend the Mardi Gras. The carnival breeze and Vista by far have been the best ships I’ve been on.

If you don't like to be with a lot of people and wait a long time to eat, this is not the ideal boat.

Great appeal, but lacks the space for the number of people.

It's really big and really use your app to find what and where your going!

Try a different restaurant every night.

Please be patient with the staff they are short handed and doing the best they can.

Take the stairs as much as possible....you will wait forever for elevators and they will be stuffed with people. Try to get a mid ship cabin. Pay attention to your carnival hub app...it's your life line!

Go late in the afternoon to the pool and slides. Everyone is getting ready for dinner and its nice and quiet.

big big issue is the small, slow limited elevators. I had to use a scooter due to a recent injury and i would have to wait sometimes 25-30 minutes for an elevator.

Plan a second cruise. This ship is magnificent. It is vast and you will not get to see everything.

Have a drink at the fortune teller bar and Ride the roller coaster. Both were super fun.

If you have early assigned dining, you cannot make any reservations in few of the non pay food venues until after 745 pm. Need hub app for everything including food menus.

Steakhouse and seafood grill not worth the money. Do the zip line and ropes course it was awesome.

Familiarize yourself with the layout of the ship. Expect certain elements of guess to not have cruise etiquette in different venues. Arrive early for Center Stage shows for best seats, remember, there are almost 6k guests.

It is different than the older smaller ships. Know that when you get on board. Larger ship, more people. But the Carnival staff was, as always, superb.

Wait a little while, three are quite a few kinks to be worked out still with the ship.

We like this ship..a lot.

To be blunt. If you are in your 50’s and above, such as we are, then this may not be the cruise for you if you are looking for an enjoyable & relaxing cruise experience. If you’re into an all-out party atmosphere then disregard my previous statement.

Change ships and don't pretip expecting better service, you may be disappointed.

Go to Harmony of the Seas so your expectations are exceeded.
