We had cabin 11480, exactly one level above 10468, and loved the larger balcony. Here are some pics: https://photos.app.goo.gl/1aFs4b1VjW7poKHu6.

This is Mardi Gras-specific, but both the short ribs and the grilled shrimp entrees on the complimentary Cucina Del Capitano dinner menu were so good I had each on two separate nights (portions are small).

...I often order the cheese platter dessert as an appetizer.

We do this too! Almost every night the Better Half and I each order an entree of our own, plus split an order of the Indian Vegetarian

we had 11480 - one of the corner balconies - and LOVED it. Didn't pay extra. Here are a few pics, including pics of the adjoining balconies / balconies below

51-y.o. fairly fit male here. In the last couple years I've twice slept on a Carnival sofa bed made up for one, and I'll warn you in advance it's NOT comfortable - hard as a rock, and I like a firm mattress. Granted, neither were in the newer Mardi Gras cabin style so theoretically it could be less unpleasant if the couches are significantly different from the ships I sailed. Your son is half my age so he may fare better. That said, I'd do it again if the cabin price is right 😛

Yes - same process. Log on one at a time, and spend the week arguing over when it's your turn to "have the internet" 😛. "I'm going to the bathroom." "OK, I'm going to grab the internet." "But I'll be right BACK!..." (still preferable to spending 2x as much)

I was on the Mardi Gras last week and was mildly disappointed that they never ran Bolt. The cruise director made announcements on embarkation day about making sure to check it out, etc but then it never ran. We never had horrible weather last week. It certainly didn't ruin my cruise - the ship is amazing! - but I was wondering if anyone knows what's going on or if it's running this week. Yeah, I could've / should've asked them while I was ON THE SHIP but I was enjoying too many other options 😉
