    On the Mardi Gras in 2022, we booked the cabana for the week and absolutely loved it. Like the fact that you have a private area all to yourself, you have two lounge chairs that are on the Astroturf in front of the comfy couch part of the cabana as well as two Jack chairs directly in front of your cabana. This was absolutely amazing. You could leave your stuff there, your towel, or whatever on the chair, and you didn’t have to worry that someone was going to move it or complain that you were hogging a deck chair all day long. The fact that they would bring you lunch from wherever you wanted on the ship was great, the free frozen refresher, nonalcoholic beverages, a nice bonus, as well as of course the six bottles of water and the sparkling wine that you got each day. Overall for us it was a great value add and have it booked actually for our celebration cruise coming up and then will book it for Jubilee when we sell on her in 2024.

    I appreciate how much you guys look at accessibility issues. I’m fortunate that I don’t have to worry about such (currently) but definitely feel it’s so important. I had to lol at the gray tile floor vs. neon venue…I hadn’t noticed but now cannot unsee it! 😵‍💫😂

    We cruised on the Mardi Gras in the Excel Aft Suite and it had complimentary access to Loft 19 for Excel guests. Cabanas were not included but we found the area never crowded because only Excel guests had access or you had to pay the extra $500 a day to have a cabana with access. We thought it was nice.

I believe on our cruise its 1700 for the week for the cabanas. No we would never pay that! Thanks again, its been fun watching you two grow your channel

    Thanks for the open, honest, and overall positive review. We are booked on a Celebration cruise in November 2023. We sailed on the Mardi Gras in September this year and thought it to be a wonderful ship. No ship is perfect...there has never been one. But the Excel ship concept elevates Carnival. So, we have one observation about elevators and a question about the bars. First, we had zero problems with the elevators on the Mardi Gras...we ALWAYS used the elevators in the rear or forward parts of the ship and avoided the mid-ship elevators and never had long waits. But elevator failures we never saw so hopefuly that can be fixed. Now, about the bars. On the Mardi Gras we loved the Fortune Teller bar.....the weird cocktails were absolutely some of the best we've had on over nearly 20 cruises. Do any of the Celebration bars serve those kind of strange, but delicious cocktails?

    • @JJCruise
      @JJCruise  Год назад

      Thanks for watching and commenting your thoughts and questions! Latitudes serves some unique drinks from around the world. Sakura is the new fortune teller ball cocktail. Also, Golden Jubilee has some craft cocktails from Carnival’s past and some new ones as well!

    What you guys said about the late night food options are correct. They use to have small food options 😕 back in the day. For some reason they have scaled back extensively, so much so that the lines for pizza was disgraceful. I have cruised Carnival for years, their cutbacks for nightly food option whether you request them in the room or go out to get something small truly needs to be addressed. Staffing is probably the issue but they needs to consider keeping the ice cream, cookies, deserts, pastries, or sandwiches. Something. If not I will plan to get snacks while in port. Now you know! Thanks for passing on such valuable information that you always do.

    I'm on board and the elevators were a nightmare for days. Seems to be improvement 🤞. Had to laugh at your assessment of the flooring. At first sight I thought the floors and elevator areas looked like a shopping mall or office building. The buffet reminds me of a 1990s Vegas casino remodel. In general, decor is not the ship's strong point.

    Hey guys, just subscribed. Watched ALL your Carnival Celebration reviews, thanks for the wealth of INFO. Were booked for Oct 2023 and can't wait to see Celebration in person. We usually sail on Royal Ships, 1st Carnival ship in nearly 26 years. Did we make the right decision to sail and try something new. Everyone says this ship is a game changer, Your thoughts are welcome.

    • @JJCruise
      @JJCruise  Год назад +1

      We think Celebration and Mardi Gras are Game Changers for Carnival and worth the try for someone who loves Royal Caribbean. That said, it is still a Carnival Cruise with a focus on being the FUN ship. Lots of activities, lots of shows and comedy, less focus on food but overall good time!

      Hi Karen! We love Celebrity and have been on over half of Celebrity’s ships. We have all of the Edge Class and parts of the Millennium and Solstice Class Ship Tours on our channel as well.
      If you love and can afford Celebrity, we wouldn’t advise trying Carnival at this point as Celebrity is a Premium Cruise Line whereas Carnival is a mainstream cruise line (more entry level cruise line). Just our two cents!

    Side note: We just came off a back to back on the Scarlet Lady and because your other videos were so well done and on point. Had a great time like you said. :)

    • @JJCruise
      @JJCruise  Год назад +1

      You’ll have an Awesome 40th on either cruise! If you’ve never done Carnival before, VV may be best for guaranteed good times since it’s already familiar to you.
      But, if you’ve done Carnival before and like Carnival too, you will love Celebration as she is truly Carnival’s best ship!

      @@JJCruise My Husband and I are both platinum with Carnival. With that being said we appreciate all your pros and cons! Here are OUR thoughts….
      1)Our bathroom on the MG was horribly small. My Husband said numerous times he couldn’t imagine a very heavy person trying to use the bathroom. With that being said if you think it’s a wee bit smaller now, that’s a problem. Ugh.
      2)The deck 7 walk thru in the theatre was a terrible design flaw. As well as having to walk through the casino! Agree for sure!
      3)I’m glad the comedy club is larger. We were on the MG twice and both times we never saw a comedy show. We didn’t want to deal with the wait, the crowds, holding seats, etc. Hope it’s better!
      4)I agree about having healthy food options. I did really enjoy the salad bar on serenity and I’m looking forward to it again.
      5)Great suggestion about opening up a 2nd venue as a piano bar at night. Another tight congested place!
      Great review. Can’t wait to see the next before we board!

    • @JJCruise
      @JJCruise  Год назад

      We loved both ships and you can’t go wrong either way! That said, Celebration is the newest and thus the best of Carnival for upcoming Entertainment and focus for best service.
      Thus, we’d say Celebration is best of the two but please note that in contrast to Mardi Gras, not all shows are ready yet and some kinks are still being worked out.

    Would you guys consider saying, " What you didn't like, instead of saying what is bad". Those ship builders, wielders, electricians, carpenters, etc.., tried their hardest to create a great structure for what the company required of them to delight their guest.

    Whoever decided $500 was an appropriate charge for the retreat is way out of touch with the average Carnival cruiser. Carnival's big selling point is its low price. Expect a greatly reduced pricing soon! and about that blah gray floor in the Bisayne area - you are so right, hot pink would punch it up and give a much more tropcal vibe!

We already pay for the cruise itself, WiFi, drinks, etc.. Loft 19 really isn’t giving us anything we can’t get on other parts of the ship. Just go to the serenity area. And privacy? Well do we really have any privacy on the ship outside of our rooms?

      There are some BIG complainers onboard as well, so take some things with a grain of salt. As two cruisers who’ve been on a lot of ships within the past 1.5 years since restart, the service has not been unusual for a maiden voyage (in fact it’s been better than usual). ☺️

    I just got off the Mardi Gras Nov 2022. First things first, it's too spread out, let me explain. On other carnival ships, if I want guys and the wife wants pizza, it can't happen, they are too far apart. All the food is like that. Also it's a big ship, but it just more rooms, it didn't feel much bigger then even a spirit class ship and the way there was 6 or 7 levels of room between the common spaces was terrible. For example the whole front third of the ship is rooms. You can't even get to the front part of the ship. One last thing, they talked about the floor being Grey. I'll do one better, the whole ship feels like your in an ikea. I mean the ledo deck floors are vinyl, not a drop of real wood to be found. I learned a valuable lesson, bigger ship mean more profit, not more experience.
