Carnival Mardi Gras

Carnival Mardi Gras

Overview

in 1972, Carnival's first ship, the TSS Margi Gras, made waves in the cruising industry by providing fun at sea everyone could enjoy.  Fast forward to today, and Carnival is still fulfilling that mission and bringing you bigger and better ships every year.  Launching in 2020, Mardi Gras is a revolution at sea offering guests an opportunity to escape to the blue waters of the Caribbean and enjoy the ride as much as the tropical islands along the way.

On Mardi Gras, experience six different and exciting "zones," specialty areas onboard with themed dining, drinking, and entertainment. Look up - you'll see the first ever rollercoaster at sea, BOLT.  This thrilling ride is like nothing ever imagined before and takes you on an adventure above the ship and over the ocean below.  Dedicated to created unique experiences at sea on their "Fun" ships, Mardi Gras offers guests an unparalleled experience with endless entertainment, delicious dining and beverage options, and activities for every age imaginable.

Entertainment & Activities


Bursting at the seams with entertainment, dining, and drinking options everyone in your group will love, you may never want to leave the brand new Carnival Mardi Gras sailing for the first time in 2020.  Experience a new Carnival experience onboard in one of the six explorable zones - Grand Central, French Quarter, Summer Landing, La Piazza, Lido, and The Ultimate Playground.  Each zone brings you a different style of architecture, food, and fun. 

Kids will love Mardi Gras for its personalized activities and kids clubs just for them! During the day, children can splash around in Waterworks, the onboard waterpark with twisting slides above the top deck, pools to play around in, and a giant 300 gallon dumping bucket that's sure to cool them off.  They'll also get to experience the first and only roller coaster at sea, BOLT.  This thrilling ride takes guests all over the ship with stunning 360° views of the ocean below - don't worry though, you can control the speed if you're looking for a more mild ride.

If you're leaving the kids at home, that's ok too!  Relax at the adults-only Serenity Retreat where the only sounds come from the bartender bringing you your favorite drink as you relax.  From here, the possibilities are endless.  Head to the Cloud9 Spa for some wellness treatments including massages, facials, body wraps, and more or get yourself ready for a nigh of shows and excitement.
