Welcome to Day 1 on board the Carnival Mardi Gras as we set sail out of Port Canaveral, Florida for a 7 day cruise to the Western Caribbean with port stops in Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Mahogany Bay.
Day 1's big events are the Embarkation and the Sail Away party. I also ate at the Steak House called Fahrenheit 555, did a tour of my room, and ended the evening with the Carnival Show Rock Revolution. Come along for the trip and hopefully it will give you an idea of what to expect if you have never been on a cruise before.

We love the Mardi Gras! Been on her twice and will be back on her in November. Thanks for taking us along

@HangingOutWithMike 4 месяца назад

I'm jealous! I am going on her sister ship, the Celebration in January and am looking forward to it. I love the Mardi Gras theming, the New Orleans style is my favorite when it comes to the themes. I think the Liberty has similar theming.

Nothing beats a Sail Away party on a Carnival Cruise!!!!

I love them! Nothing better to get a cruise started than doing the Wobble!

Went on the same cruise and you can actually see me in the background of a clip that’s funny! Was definitely a fun trip!

I loved it. I could have spent a few more days no problem with all the entertainment.

Cruising is so much fun. At would try it at least once. There are shorter cruises you could try.

I was also on the cruise last week and it was epic. The sail away was so much fun. The whole ship was lit. This was one of the best cruises ever!!!!

I love the Mardi Gras! It is one of my favorite ships and I love the whole theming of the ship and bars. Was Jacky Tang your cruise director?

That's Awesome! I recorded all seven days, just need to get them edited and uploaded.

Jacky Tang was doing his Thang on our cruise too. I loved him as the cruise director.

We are thinking about going on the Mardi Gras. We been on Valor twice and loved it. We also loved our drink package. We love the specialty coffee and found a couple of wonderful cocktails we loved too. We’re old so getting drunk isn’t an option but we drank about three or four times a day but we went for the specialty coffee a lot more.

@HangingOutWithMike 4 месяца назад

I love the Mardi Gras! I also like the specialty coffee and energy drinks, but for me, paying for a drink package was not worth it for a seven day cruise. I'm happy with a ginger ale while I enjoy the shows and people watching.

@@HangingOutWithMike I understand what you mean, however we felt it was ok for us considering how much specialty coffee we drank. 🤪🤪🤪

If it rains, it usually doesn't last long. But there is so much to do inside that you might not even notice if it's raining.

I sailed on Mardi Gras January 13th, (my 60th Birthday!!) - January 20, 2024. 2nd time on the ship, first time was Halloween 2022. Splurged this time and got a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony, worth every penny. Didn't get to ride Bolt this time, it was down for maintenance or weather issues most of the time. Planned on eating at Street Eats every day. Only made it on Embarkation day, was too busy eating everything everywhere else. 😂 Looks like you had a great time. Keep up the good work. Retired USAF myself. 😊

@HangingOutWithMike 8 месяцев назад

You got on the day I got off! And Thank You for your Service! I had never seen so many dining options. I wanted to try the Seafood place and Bonsai grill, but never made it with everything that was going on.

@HangingOutWithMike 4 месяца назад

I just want to get to Platinum so I can have the priority check-in and boarding perk. The rest are just bonuses for me.

@sportsMike87 7 месяцев назад

Considering Marci Gras or Celebration. Never been on carnival. Did you find yourself in a lot of crowded areas on the ship?

@HangingOutWithMike 7 месяцев назад

Yes. I think the ship holds roughly 6000 passengers and some examples of the crowds are the fact that you had to line up 30 minutes to get into the comedy shows. I never did get a seat in the piano bar because it was always full. The shows in the theater where always crowded and the shows on the main stage where crowded. I always did the early shows so maybe later at night, the shows are not as crowded but in my experience, every where there were crowds.

I'm jealous. I didn't discover cruising till I was 40. In Montana, we didn't have any ports, lol.

@morgangault3691 8 месяцев назад

Can you get ginger ale at the bar only?? Or is it at the soda fountains as well?? Also, is Guy Pig and Anchor open for buffet on embarkation day?? All day? Or just for a short period of time ?

@HangingOutWithMike 8 месяцев назад

I just got it at the bars, I did not look for it at the soda stations so I am not sure. The Pig and Anchor's buffet was open on embarkation day, but it is only till 2 or 3, then it shuts down and opens again at 5,, I believe, for dinner. Each restaurant is different but if I remember correctly, Pig and Anchor is open from 12 to 3 each day for the lunch buffet.

@Jrock5335 8 месяцев назад

Solo sailing is really expensive. How where you able to find a deal for your cruise?

@HangingOutWithMike 8 месяцев назад

I didn't get a deal on this cruise. This cruise was my birthday gift to myself because I have been infatuated with the roller coaster on Mardi Gras since it was announced. I don't know how I got it, but last year I received a "free room" promotion which was a cruise for $100 per person which means a room was only $200 and then Carnival gave $200 back in on board credit. But those were for their older ships like Elation, Paradise, Freedom, Liberty, etc.

What events should I pack for besides the all white party? I can’t wait to experience all the ship has to offer. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of your experience!

@HangingOutWithMike 8 месяцев назад

The big themed parties on the Lido deck were the All White party, The Tiki Party, and the 80's dance party. The 80's dance party I see people go all out with spandex, workout gear, headbands, neon colors, etc. It's one of my favorite parties. The Tiki Party, I just wore a Hawaiian shirt. There was also a 90's party inside at the main stage one night but I didn't attend that so not sure if people dressed up for that. There was also two elegant nights, one of them was the same night as the White Party. I've seen people dress in fancy prom dresses and tuxedos, but not required. It is just a chance to dress more formal on the ship. You can get as dressed up and into the theme as you want, or just go as you are. Either way, the parties are always fun and high energy! Have fun.
