Western Caribbean Carnival Mardi Gras Western Caribbean Cruise Reviews

We love Big Ships! We LOVE Port Canaveral! We LOVE no COVID restrictions!!! To be honest, we were a little leery of Carnival especially with our ages and the latest news clippings on the fighting etc. Our last few cruises have all been Royal and before that we were loyal to Celebrity. Both have been terrific and our last cruise on Carnival was more than 10 years ago and LOTS has changed in ...

Please read!! Me and my wife celebrated are honeymoon with the carnival family and it was by far the most amazing experience we have ever had. Not only is the Mardi Gras a very beautiful, Majestic., mind-blowing ship. The staff is what really made it special. Every single staff on this ship was happy with smiles on there faces. It didn't matter if it was 12:00p.m or 3:00a.m. they ...

So we finally made it on the Mardi Gras. A bit about me and my family. I am a gold cruiser and actually went on the original Mardi Gras on a high school graduation trip back in 1993. We were originally scheduled to go on the Mardi Gras in 2020, but y’all know what happened that year. 2021 didn’t happen as we elected to get past the mask mandate. I’m not a regular poster. I did leave a review ...

I will start with this is my 8th cruise and no stranger to the industry. I booked a suite for this cruise unlike all of my past were outside cabins. We arrived on the ship and were told our room was ready. Once on board the rooms were blocked off with a sign that stated no rooms would be ready until after 2pm. Ok, not the end of the world. At 3pm we went to our room to find out that we have an ...

After being on several Carnival ships, I had been dying to sail the Mardi Gras since it was under construction. It did not disappoint. Absolutley beautiful from top to bottom, but be very prepared for A LOT of people! Carnival did a fantastic job spreading the various venues out to distribute the people as evenly as possible, as there was truly something for everyone, but any way you slice it, ...

It began as a trip to spend time with the family,but ended up being an interpersonal experience. I would like to make a few safety suggestions 1. The pools and hot tubs should have safety handrails 2. The bathroom doors do not offer the privacy needed for individuals using the facilities 3. And children as young as 3 years old are unsupervised in potentially dangerous locations on ...

My wife and I, who are near 70, travelled with another couple and their daughter on this cruise. We have been on approximately 14 cruises in our life and we have two more scheduled, one on HAL and the other on Celebrity. We have so far cruised on Carnival, RCL, NCL, and Princess. We have sailed on 4 cruises since the restart from the pandemic - 2 Carnival, 1 NCL and 1 RCL. We have always ...

Due to delays in building and then of course Covid, after 5 rebookings we were able to get onboard the new Mardi Gras in Port Canaveral the day after the port opened due to Nicole. I don’t remember how much we paid for this cruise but it was not rock bottom due to initially paying for the maiden crossing. We had a spa balcony on deck 17; in what turned out to be a great decision. Let’s review ...

How amazing was it to get back to cruising!!!!! As Gold VFIP members with Carnival, it had nearly been 7 years since our last cruise. Having a child and then the seemingly infinite pandemic shutdown, I work in healthcare — so it was comprehensively taxing, made cruising more than a little bit difficult. Living in the eastern Canadian Arctic, lockdowns, duty to the healthcare system and an ...

We chose this as a family cruise--grandparents, parents, and three teen girls. Our experience was greatly overshadowed by having all of our cash (a substantial amount all in 20 dollar bills so quite visual and evident) stolen from our locked safe. It happened between the first and third day of the cruise. When I opened the safe on the third day, our passports, vaccination cards, and car keys ...
