  MARDI GRAS 

 NOW SAILING FROM PORT CANAVERAL

When we launched our first ship, 1972's TSS Mardi Gras, we made cruising a lot less stuffy, a bit less fancy, the kind of fun everybody could enjoy. Nobody expected this ship to change the cruise world, but... here we are! A brand-new ship with a familiar name. With this Mardi Gras® we aren't just paying homage to our first ship — in cruising circles this name suggests innovation, signals the start of something big. Oh, and this Mardi Gras® still shouts “fun!” at the top of its lungs. This ship introduces Zones — six themed areas packed with brand-new experiences for eating, drinking and spectacularly getting down to fun. There's BOLT®, the first-ever rollercoaster at sea, Emeril's Bistro 1396™ from yes-that-Emeril, Family Feud™ Live for everybody... plus incredible new bars like The Brass Magnolia and Fortune Teller.


 

GRAND CENTRAL

On a Carnival cruise your client's vacation starts in the atrium, and on Mardi Gras that’s in the Grand Central zone. On this ship the atrium’s different. Your clients will step inside and the first place they'll want to look is upwards. There are high ceilings that hint at fun living on the three decks above! But they should look around too, they’ll find floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in the ocean views. In Grand Central, no one is ever far from great dining spots like Bonsai™ Sushi and Bonsai™ Teppanyaki, plus feel-good entertainment like Piano Bar 88 and The Punchliner™ Comedy Club. During the day, Grand Central serves as a relaxing spot for guests to enjoy a coffee, drink or light fare, people watch, listen to live music, or partake in trivia contests and other leisurely pursuits. At night, Grand Central transforms into an intimate and immersive venue with a rotation of spectacular, soon-to-be-revealed experiences created just for Mardi Gras.


 

THE FRENCH QUARTER

If “big” and “easy” sound about right for your client's vacation, they might just make the French Quarter on Mardi Gras their home zone. What inspired this place is no less than New Orleans itself, and if all this talk of NOLA has you as hungry as we are, you’ll be pleased to hear that The French Quarter is lined with bars and eateries worthy of their namesake, spots serving up everything from small plates to classic Hurricane cocktails straight from the bayou. Just steps away there’s entertainment inspired by the world-renowned Crescent City nightlife — yep, there’s a hot jazz club in this zone — plus your clients are not far from bars, lounges and some funky little shops. And while we’re not one to brag, one of these spots is being designed in partnership with a name you definitely know!


 

SUMMER LANDING

Go ahead and call Summer Landing “the greatest chill spot at sea”… and we’ll be right there with your clients, any time of year! Know what goes great with chilling outdoors? BBQ! Your clients can find Guy’s Pig & Anchor BBQ Smokehouse™ | Brewhouse in this zone, where it always tastes like summer, courtesy of freshly-smoked faves designed by Guy Fieri. There’s even original Parched Pig™ beers brewing just a few feet from the tap! If they're wondering where the pool and whirlpool are - they're gonna love The Watering Hole, a poolside bar built for aficionados of backyard-style relaxation. And for military folks — or folks who just want to raise a glass to them — they can report to Heroes Tribute™ Lounge for great service. We know your clients like soft serve too, so we're throwing in a Swirls™ location — one of two! And why wouldn't we? At Summer Landing, fun this cool is literally always in season.


 

LA PIAZZA

La dolce vita is within reach at La Piazza... and we'd know, with all the Italian seafaring spirit that's literally driving the ship. This zone stands for atmosphere and flavor, and it starts with Cucina del Capitano®, which brings your client’s party together for an evening of Italian favorites served family-style, while Pizzeria del Capitano makes delizioso happen for them 24 hours a day atop a base of imported Italian flour and fresh mozzarella. Mardi Gras® debuted Piazza Panini where the handhelds are hot and pressed, plus Bar della Rosa, where you'll sip authentic espresso drinks by day and classic Italian cocktails when the sun goes down. All this flavor and flair we’ve got in here may practically transport you straight to Italy… but don’t forget that so much of it can be enjoyed outdoors, where the sea breeze is just bellissimo.


 

LIDO

If your clients have cruised with us before, they know Lido… but aboard Mardi Gras this poolside zone features even more delicious and fun ways to spend a day. Everybody looks to Lido for variety, and with tons of casual dining spots your clients will discover new experiences among the flavors that keep them coming back. They can take in a Dive-In Movie at the pool and they're not far from signature Carnival favorites like Guy’s Burger Joint, the New England-inspired Seafood Shack, and Blue Iguana™ Cantina taco spot. And for folks hoping we haven’t forgotten: yes, Lido is absolutely home to fan-favorite Swirls, the free soft-serve spot cranking out the cool 24 hours a day!


 

BOLT: ULTIMATE SEA COASTER

Aboard Mardi Gras™ your clients will meet BOLT™: the fastest — and first! — rollercoaster at sea. They'll be able to strap in and zoom their motorcycle-style speed machine around an open-air course high, high above sea level. This all-electric thrill ride puts our guests in the driver’s seat. That means they actually get to control how fast they go, so they can hit the gas and try for the fastest time, go for the biggest thrill — plus some amazing 360° ocean views! And for the folks who choose to chill: go light on the pedal, and this just might be the coaster for them!


 

THE BRASS MAGNOLIA

Think about the fruity Hurricane cocktail or the stately Sazerac — for ages now, these hometown heroes have been ambassadors for New Orleans ‘credo of fun, flavor and just plain good times. So of course we’ll be serving up classics like these at The Brass Magnolia! Your clients will also find a swingin’ jazz trio keeping things nice and hot … and it takes only one look at the décor to feel as if they just stepped into an elegant Southern estate. Among the menu of Crescent City mainstays, we suggest starting off with a true connoisseur’s local favorite … the Brandy Crusta.


 

FAMILY FEUD LIVE

MARDI GRAS™ IS THE ONLY PLACE YOU’LL FIND FAMILY FEUD™ ACTION AT SEA.AND DID WE MENTION… YOUR CLIENTS CAN GET IN THE GAME?

Get your clients ready to play Family Feud Live!™ as part of the entertainment lineup aboard Mardi Gras where the first seagoing version of the iconic TV game show is being featured. This show hosted by the ship’s cruise director will take place in Mardi Gras’ Grand Central zone, and will feature the same format and signature set as the TV show. Two five-person teams will battle it out in rounds including Face Off and Fast Money by naming the most popular answers to survey questions for a chance to win a host of prizes. Get your clients of all ages ready to participate in all the fun, and book them today!


 

SERENITY ADULT-ONLY RETREAT

Somebody at Carnival knows just what your clients need, and it's the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat™. Your clients will still be on the same ship as the kids, the hoopla, and all the Carnival-style excitement... but they could easily forget, because when at Serenity, they could not be further from it all. The world they'll find themselves in is one of complete peace, sea breezes and, of course, a nearby bar. It's the place to get done the kind of stuff they just can't seem to do anywhere else — reconnect with a partner, finish that book, or do absolutely, blissfully, nothing at all.
