Carnival Cruise Line is set to debut their most innovative ship ever, Mardi Gras, in 2020. While the XL-class ship will still feature Carnival staples and guest favorites, there will be a variety of unique experiences onboard.
She will have 20 decks, 20 stateroom categories, and six “zones,” each with their own unique theme. Carnival Cruise Line President, Christine Duffy, says of the new ship, “We’ve specifically designed Mardi Gras to invite everyone to create their own personalized fun vacation experience with options to suit every age, mood or taste.” Below is a list of these exciting zones and their various amenities:
- Grand Central (Decks 6-8, mid-ship) – A spin on the traditional atrium, here you will find day and night entertainment, delicious food at Bonsai, or a song along at Piano Bar 88. And, for the first time on Carnival, Punchliner Comedy Club will have its own venue where there will be nightly shows.
- French Quarter (Deck 6, aft) – Treat your ears to the smooth sounds of New Orleans jazz in the French Quarter. New to Carnival, this tribute to the Big Easy will feature all the Cajun and Creole fare you can fit into one vacation without spending your week on Bourbon Street.
- La Piazza (Deck 8, mid-ship) – Paying respect to Italy, here, guests can delve into the heritage of Carnival’s senior officers. Food from Carnival classics Cucina and Pizzeria del Capitano, to the brand new Mediterranean seafood joint, will make sure you stay full as you end your night being entertained by roaming musicians.
- Summer Landing (Deck 8, aft) – Kick back and chill out on Deck 8 at Summer Landing. Partnered with Guy Fieri, guests can enjoy classic barbecue from Guys Pig & Anchor, craft beers from ParchedPig, and relaxing lounge chairs by the pool.
- Lido (Deck 16-17, aft) – Back and better than ever is the Lido Deck on Carnival’s Mardi Gras. By popular demand, guests can dine at Guy’s Burger Joint, Seafood Shack, or Blue Iguana while lounging on the Lido Deck. Those that are more adventurous will have the opportunity to try the new, “foodie-inspired,” eateries Carnival has yet to announce.
- The Ultimate Playground (Decks 18-20, aft) – Highlighted by the first ever roller coaster at sea, BOLT: Ultimate Sea Coaster, this will be the ultimate family play area at sea. Guests will enjoy Carnival’s signature WaterWorks aquapark, an expanded SportSquare, and other exciting new features at The Ultimate Playground.
