The Mardi Gras is 1,128 feet long and 138 feet wide, with a gross tonnage of 180,800. The ship features 20 decks, 18 of which are accessible to guests, and accommodates up to 6,500 passengers across 2,641 staterooms. A crew of 1,745 ensures high-quality service onboard.
Onboard Mardi Gras, adults can enjoy six themed zones, including the Ultimate Playground, home to BOLT®—the first roller coaster at sea—reaching speeds of up to 37 mph. The ship also offers live shows, comedy acts, concerts, a casino, and peaceful retreats like the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat.
Younger guests can enjoy Camp Ocean, with age-specific programming for Penguins (ages 2–5), Stingrays (6–8), and Sharks (9–11). Teens have dedicated spaces at Circle "C" (ages 12–14) and Club O2 (ages 15–17), where they can enjoy video games, music, and social events.
Mardi Gras features a wide range of restaurants, including Big Chicken by Shaquille O'Neal, Chibang! offering a fusion of Chinese and Mexican cuisine, and Emeril's Bistro 1396 by famed chef Emeril Lagasse, which serves up Creole flavors. The bar lineup includes the New Orleans-inspired Brass Magnolia, the mystical Fortune Teller Bar, and the two-story RedFrog Tiki Bar with tropical cocktails.
Mardi Gras offers a wide variety of cabins and suites tailored to all types of travelers. Interior staterooms provide comfortable and affordable accommodations, while ocean view cabins let guests enjoy natural light and sea views. Balcony cabins come with private outdoor space to relax and unwind.
Havana staterooms are styled with Cuban flair and feature private patios with loungers and hammocks, plus access to a private pool and bar area reserved for Havana guests. Family Harbor cabins are conveniently located near a private family lounge with snacks, games, and kids' movies. These also include perks like free kids’ meals at select restaurants and one night of complimentary Night Owls babysitting. Cloud 9 Spa cabins are ideal for wellness-focused cruisers, with unlimited access to spa facilities, priority spa reservations, and upgraded amenities like robes and premium bath products. No matter the category, every Mardi Gras accommodation is designed for comfort, style, and convenience throughout your cruise.
For a more exclusive experience, Carnival Excel Suites feature spacious living areas, well-furnished balconies—some with private hot tubs—and premium amenities. Guests in these suites enjoy added perks such as priority reservations at specialty restaurants and access to a dedicated concierge service.
Mardi Gras is the first cruise ship in North America to be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), significantly reducing sulfur, nitrogen oxide, and particulate emissions. The ship also incorporates energy-efficient technologies, including advanced waste management systems and seawater desalination for freshwater production—minimizing its environmental footprint.
