pblack Posted May 20, 2019 #28 Share Posted May 20, 2019 We officially have a courtesy hold on a balcony room for the Nov 14th sailing! Think I'm going to go get a carnival giftcard to earn cash back so I can officially place our deposit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoperDK Posted May 20, 2019 #29 Share Posted May 20, 2019 We have 2 cruises booked on the Mardi Gras. The one before the Halloween cruise and one in Jan 2021. I have a feeling we are going to cruise on this class ship many times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the NAVY and my boss told me to take a weekend off and take a cruise. I told him he was nuts. He finally got me and my wife to go. Did we love it? Well in 2 months we took 3 cruises on the same ship. Now 70 cruises later. We still love it and look forward to each one. So how was that cruise on the original Mardi Gras?

Wish Halloween was not the first day. Now we always do Halloween every year on a Carnival ship. The others are not that great. This year the Magic.

hotsauce126 Posted May 27, 2019 #37 Share Posted May 27, 2019 The only thing that worries me on the mardi gras is that it will have almost 2x the passengers without 2x the open deck space. After cruising on the breeze for the first time this past week I loved the ship itself, but never felt so crowded on a ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacher34 Posted May 28, 2019 #39 Share Posted May 28, 2019 We are booked for Dec. 6, 2020. It is so far away, but I retire in June of 2020 and this will be the first time we can cruise when the ship is decorated for Christmas. I am excited to see all the decorations, but especially to be in one of those new cabins. They look so different from the other ship cabins !

Hose A De RR Posted May 28, 2019 #42 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Our first cruise was on the original Mardi Gras. The on board amenities were, let's say limited but I did win $100 on the slots. When we heard the name for the latest Carnival ship, we decided that we had to book it. Our PVP called us to let us know the booking were open and we booked on the spot. We will be doing the 15 day repo from NYC to Port Canaveral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnivals Mardi Gras will be the best looking one of all. Not as mega as some of the others. But I think it will be one of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also going to make the older ships look kinda shabby and outdated! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
