Additional details
This was my second Carnival cruise.Boarded at Port Canaveral easy drive from Orlando so consider hiring a car if you have a few people in your group.
Loved the overall look of the ship the Mardi Gras but not as easy to get familiarized and find your way around. Many dining options included and loved the layout of buffet area in smaller rooms. Dining room experience less than I am used to different servers every day less connection and missed the tablecloths which adds to the decor of the room
Not enough seating for main entertainment shows which were mostly musicals Lots of game shows if you like that kind of thing, not my interest but fun deck parties when not rained out. Would have been better if there was a large place on the ship to move these to instead of just missing out due to weather
Cabin Review
Good lots of wardrobe space and nice size bathroom only missing a place to sit
