MARDI GRAS™: FUN-FUELED VACATION INNOVATION POWERED BY LNG – 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.

MEET THE ZONES

Mardi Gras is our first ship to introduce themed zones! Each area is uniquely inspired to create a different atmosphere than the next and will allow your clients to create their own personalized vacation with dining, libation, entertainment, recreation, and relaxation options. The six themed zones aboard Mardi Gras are:

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, so your clients can find Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse | Brewhouse into this zone to make sure it always tastes like summer here, courtesy of freshly-smoked faves designed by Guy Fieri. Your clients wouldn’t be surprised that the pool and whirlpool aren’t far, but would they have guessed that there’s even original Parched Pig™ beers brewing just a few feet from the tap?

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 BlueIguana 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!

THE ULTIMATE PLAYGROUND

Don’t let the name fool you — this zone is ages everybody and up. Kids are going to love this. And for your adult clients, the playground has grown up with them. So yay for play! Of course The Ultimate Playground starts with BOLT™, the first rollercoaster at sea, an all-electric thrill ride that puts the power of speed in your hands. But that’s only the beginning — this playground has the largest Carnival WaterWorks ever with three huge spiraling slides, plus SportSquare is here featuring an entire mini-golf course, full-court basketball and a ropes course. And, of course, more. Ultimate enough for your clients?
