It's the first sea day EVER on the inaugural sailing of the Carnival Mardi Gras and I dine at Rudi's Seagrill for a full review, after a walkthrough tour of the ship, and having sea day brunch in the main dining room of the Mardi Gras. This was my fourth solo cruise.
The Carnival Mardi Gras was the first ship to sail from Port Canaveral in over 15 months. The Mardi Gras is the brand new ship from Carnival Cruise Line, the first of its Excel Class of ships. The Carnival Celebration will debut in November 2022, followed by a third Excel ship in 2023.

I've been on her twice. I ABSOLUTELY love The Mardi Gras. That's my home away from home.

@ZachtheTravelingMan 2 года назад

She’s definitely a great addition to the fleet. Thanks for watching!

I love a good cross over!! AK Ventures and you were the fist vlogs I watched before my first cruise.

@ZachtheTravelingMan 2 года назад

How cool! Thank you for watching. I love some AK Adventures too!

Thank you for showing us all the brand merchandise in the store. I really enjoyed looking at all the shirts. Also I agree with you, Shaqs potato salad is delicious. Love your southern accent and keep up the great content.

Thank you so much, Lisa! Glad you enjoyed the video and the accent. 😂

I have been cruising for the last month, so I am just now catching up on a few vlogs. Looks like you had a great first sea day. Thanks for sharing 😊

@ZachtheTravelingMan 3 года назад

I hope you enjoyed the cruises! Glad to hear you’ve been back out there.

It feels like there’s so many UT’s that have done videos about this ship but yours is by far the best. I just found you and you can bet that I’ll be subscribing and continuously watching. You keep it interesting and informative which, no offense to any others, it’s just not like yours. Thanks for catching me up on this ship which we’ll be on in a July. Can’t wait!!

@ZachtheTravelingMan 2 года назад

Thank you so much, Suz! You’ve made my day with that. So glad you enjoyed the video, hope you continue to enjoy them - I have several from that ship. And I’ll keep making them! Enjoy the Mardi Gras!

Wow, I’m so glad I booked that restaurant for my birthday dinner. I’m not sailing till Nov 27, but very excited. Great vlog by the way.

@ZachtheTravelingMan 3 года назад

Thanks for watching, Catherine! I think that’s a great choice for a birthday dinner. I hope you have a great time!!!

@ZachtheTravelingMan 3 года назад

@paulwrightwa 2 года назад

Great video Zach! So fun to live vicariously through your vids. I am definitely more drawn to smaller ship… I’m old and tired and don’t need go-carts or zip lines. Would love to see you do a smaller HAL ship up to Alaska. Take care!

@ZachtheTravelingMan 2 года назад

Thank you for watching, Paul! And thanks for the nice comment. Alaska is on my list!

@michaelsword9213 3 года назад

Great job again Zach! Beautiful and fun ship and a much needed home run for Carnival. The restaurants and food look good. It seems to me like there’s just so much thrown together and it feels like the inside of ship doesn’t “flow” well…Plus with that many people this early after Covid, watching everyones vlogs, it gave me anxiety all week and I wasn’t even there..lol…but that’s just me watching from home. Glad you had fun! Can’t wait for your next adventure!

@ZachtheTravelingMan 3 года назад

Thank you for watching, Michael! The ship was beautiful and huge! But yeah, the anxiety over COVID was definitely real. I don’t think Carnival was taking it as seriously as they could have.

@elite4681 3 года назад

Great videos.... Just not ready to cruise until this Covid thing sails away!

Love this video! The prices in the gift shop made me cringe 😂. I have to save up more money before my cruise!

@ZachtheTravelingMan 3 года назад

Lol the prices were quite insane! They seemed very proud of that Mardi Gras merch.

@bubbascruise 2 года назад

Do you know if the menu for Cucino for breakfast is the same as the MDR? Really enjoyed all your videos and I’m caught up now just have to watch the food ranking one again. I’ve still got to make my food spreadsheet

@ZachtheTravelingMan 2 года назад

I don’t fully recall, to be honest. I think it might have been slightly different. Send me a message on my Instagram (if you have it) and I can send you my Mardi Gras food plan 😂

@zeek72358 3 года назад

New sub. Really enjoyed this vid! Vid caught my eye because (1) I'm on MG this Sat (unless I get a positive covid result) and (2) my name is also Zac. I appreciate that it appears you're traveling solo because that's what I'm going to be doing for the first time. Unless I can find dinner companions I'll have my airpods in listening to a podcast.

@ZachtheTravelingMan 3 года назад

Hello Zac and thank you for subscribing! How exciting, I bet you can’t wait to set foot on Mardi Gras. It’s an amazing ship and I hope you have a great time!

@DenaInWyo Год назад

Makes my heart happy to find another ship nerd :) I get the regular wifi so I can track cruise mapper and see not only our position, but also the ships around us. When I see lights in the distance, I can find out who they are. It's also helpful the morning of the cruise if you're like me and like to wake up before dawn to see the ships come in. I cruise for the same reason..being on the ocean on a ship. I'd probably be down for a ride on a packet boat. We're on the Celebration next year, and I'm excited but also nervous that it'll be too big and lose that feeling. I so wish Carnival would either update their current small ships or build a few new ones. I know that'll never happen (yay capitalism) but it's still my wish.

@ZachtheTravelingMan Год назад

Love tracking the ships!

@kerryditty5078 2 года назад

Hi , great video. Going to be onboard in July for a week cruise , could you tell me how many formal nights there are and what days ! Thanks 👍

@ZachtheTravelingMan 2 года назад

Hi there! Thank you so much. Formal nights are the first sea day, so second night, and the second to last night of the cruise. Have a great time! 🛳

@bubbascruise 2 года назад

Rudy’s def looks good as a seafood fan I want to try it. I’m not sure I will as some people going with me aren’t a seafood fan and they are so many options to eat. The shaqs chicken sandwich you got is def going to be my 1st meal.

@ZachtheTravelingMan 2 года назад

As it should be! That chicken sandwich is probably the best food Carnival has. 🤤

@LiveLoveCHXBeach 3 года назад

gonna def check out rudis

@ZachtheTravelingMan 3 года назад

It’s so good! I’ll have a review out soon of all the dining venues, but it was definitely one of my favorites!

@kdt272 3 года назад

Enjoyed your video, found it informative. I love cruising for the ocean as well. It definitely is my happy place. Will have the opportunity to cruise the Mardi Gras in April 2022. So excited.

@ZachtheTravelingMan 3 года назад

Thank you for watching! I hope you have a great time on the Mardi Gras. Soon!

Boat looks EMPTY!!! Nice. What was the capacity for this sail? What was your room number? Great video tho

@ZachtheTravelingMan 2 года назад

Thanks! I think it was around 60-70% for this sailing. My room number was 15246.

@vickyskye8492 3 года назад

Great video! So at Rudis you get two apps a main and a dessert included in the cover charge?

@ZachtheTravelingMan 3 года назад

Thank you! That’s correct. You can either get two appetizers or an appetizer and a soup/salad. They are strict about this as well.

@jitzel100 3 года назад

I watched your video for the review on Rudi's Seagrill which we have reservation for next Tuesday for my boyfriend's birthday. I really liked your video, you were able tu go cover a lot of places in a short amount of time. I definitely want to try the lobster mac'n cheese and the lobster tail. Thanks a lot, very helpful! Do you have any recommendations for the bonsai sushi if you ate there?

@ZachtheTravelingMan 3 года назад

Thank you for watching and I’m so glad you found it helpful. I hope you all have a great time and enjoy Rudi’s as mush as I did! Unfortunately I did not have a chance to try Bonsai, but I really want to! I’m hoping to on my next cruise.

@americanazheck 7 месяцев назад

We ate at rudis on our last day. It was aweful! 100 bucks down the toilet

@benpace8860 3 года назад

How was the surf and turf? We didn't get to hear your thoughts on that part of the meal?

@ZachtheTravelingMan 3 года назад

The surf and turf was good. The filet was tender enough to be cut with a knife. The lobster was incredible - much better than what you get in the main dining room. Thanks for watching!

@joea16 3 года назад

just a reminder not only do they have Rudi's but they also have the seafood shack which has a good selection of seafood all day long and yes there is charge

@ZachtheTravelingMan 3 года назад

Yes for sure. Sadly not many folks were eating there that I noticed. I was happy to have a steakhouse-style seafood restaurant added for sit down specialty dining. Thanks for watching!

@SteveBoyer10 2 года назад

The ship is insanely beautiful inside. Shaq’s big chicken looks super delicious! I was surprised by the rather dull Lido deck. Maybe it looks better in person, though. What did you think of it?

@ZachtheTravelingMan 2 года назад

Now that I’ve looked back at my pics of it, I tend to agree. It could use more color to make it more visually appealing. There’s just not much on the pool area of Lido to make it “pop”. Shaq’s still remains one of the best parts of the whole ship. I’d book another cruise just to have another one of those sandwiches! Thank you for watching. 😊
