Hello! It's so far away! I can hardly wait!

 

Gina and Chaz from Umatilla, FL. Super excited to board this brand new ship and explore!

Checking in...DH and I will be setting sail on our first cruise out of Florida! We're hoping to get 1-2 days in at Walt Disney World before the cruise. This cruise sets sail 3 days after my birthday. Booked a balcony cabin (2nd time for us, we usually book interiors) but since we're coming all the way from California I wanted to make it worthwhile. Can't wait to begin exploring the Mardi Gras!!

HI, Joining the Rollcall, DW and I are super excited to be cruising on such a LARGE Ship!  This is the earliest we have ever purchased a cruise.  We are from Virginia Beach, VA.

[cappy09]

We are Kenny and Joan from W. Palm Beach, Fl.  Just booked this cruise yesterday.  We are also in a balcony cabin.  There are so man places to eat and explore you never have to get off at the ports to find something to do.  Looking forward to talking to all of our fellow cruisers .

Hi Everyone

 

My husband, little baby girl, and I will be on our second cruise. Can't wait for this new ship ☺️

[Oompaland]

Hello!  My husband and I are booked on this cruise.  It is our 'last kid is off to college' cruise!!  

 

[Chardifer23]

My husband and I just booked this cruise along with 10 other family members. This will be our baby’s first cruise! We love carnival and are so excited! We will also be  arriving a day or two early to attend Mickeys  Christmas party in magic kingdom. 

[bdaddyiii]

The DW and myself just book this cruise.  Can not wait to sail on this grand ship.

LOOKS LIKE WE ARE THE FIRST CRUISE OUT.  FIRST 8 CRUISES BEFORE US HAVE BEEN CANCELLED.

 

[2Shoes2Go]

Hi, y’all! We’ve been booked for a few months, just forgot to join this roll call. Looking forward to seeing this new ship. Looks like it may be more than we bargained for. 😂 We don’t usually book first cruises on a new ship, but surprise! Hope to meet some new folks! Join the Meet and Mingle! 😀

[monsterl]

This cruise is now fully booked. So it may be that it has now been cancelled.

[tree.critter]

Well, this inaugural cruise is completely sold out. What a surprise to everyone that booked before the cancelations were announced. I'm booked for this cruise and really looking forward to brand new ship. Will probably be first and last time for this chance.

 

[Just1Wonder]

Hey all, just booked this cruise last month after the Inaugural out of New York was cancelled. Was lucky to get on this one, it was almost sold out.  In my experience, Inaugural cruises are always special due to the extra staff and attention you recieve (and sometimes freebies).  Looking forward to this cruise. 😎

Greetings all!

Gary and Christine, Viera (Melbourne), FL area. We are booked, ready, and already excited to go! We cruise quite a bit but this will be our first "Inaugural" cruise so the excitement is higher. Since we live close to the port, we already plan on being there to see her when she arrives!  🛳️🤩

[bigman3232007]

When is the ship do to arrive in port ? When the ceremony?

[a97falcon]

I don't have specifics,  but I am assuming a couple of days before the 14th. They need a day or more to do their VIP and corporate things like the christening and such.

[snowwhite813]

Hi everyone, My name is Sharon and I am traveling with 3 girlfriends; Kathy, Lori and Sheila.  We booked this cruise a while ago.  Will be flying in the day before I presume and looking for a great hotel in Port Canaveral that has fly, snooze and cruise from Orlando Airport.  We have stayed at Comfort Inn before, which has now changed names.  Where is everyone staying?

[kicia]

The first cruise now available to be booked is March 6, 2021. There were other available just a couple of days ago

 

Someone else posted about a blurb from Carnival's 8K filing dated today, March 19, 2020.

Here is the excerpt.

The Corporation also believes the effects of COVID-19 on the shipyards where its ships are under construction, will result in a delay in ship deliveries.

Interesting. The answer to the missing Mardi Gras cruises?

Has anyone heard if Mardi Gras is still being built amidst all the lockdowns and quarantines?  I see Carnival cancelling cruise after cruise and I think its just a matter of time before they cancel this one too.  Fingers crossed they don't....
