Carnival Cruise Line pay homage to the line's very first ship, 1972's TSS Mardi Gras, with the innovative Mardi Gras! Named for the original ship that took Carnival to the seas, Mardi Gras is an XL-Class ship that accommodates over 6,500 passengers. This ship boasts the very first roller coaster at sea, named BOLT: Ultimate Sea Coaster. For the first time ever, Carnival guests can speed down a track at over 40 miles per hours, twisting and turning high above the sea. But, if adrenaline isn't your thing, feel free to just kick back and relax on the pool deck. There is only one requirement on Carnival's ships: have fun! The delicious food that you'll find on Mardi Gras at restaurants like Bonsai Teppenyaki, Cucina del Capitano, and Guy's Pig & Anchor Smokehouse Brewhouse offers plenty of variety for even the most picky eater in your family! If you want to take the kids to Mardi Gras, this one is definitely more family-friendly.
