    Thank you for your review! I am so glad I found your channel. We’re are scheduled to go on the Mardi Gras…9 of us. I have never been on Carnival, I cruise all the time, however I’ve only cruised Norwegian. Love your review!

      Hey Anthony. I ordered through the carnival site where you manage your booking, purchase excursions and make pre cruise reservations. Unfortunately, They no longer allow you to purchase the bottle anymore, you can still order wine, water, desserts etc

    I went to the solo mixers on a few ships and there were never many people there. After the first few ships I would just do the walk by, which I imagine most solos do, and they were the same. Unfortunate but still being solo you're more approachable and meet more new people than you would with a group. That's my experience anyways

      You can go on your cruise portal and click on your upcoming cruises. Where you purchase excursions it’s under food and beverage. But I’ve heard rumors that carnival is stopping it moving forward if you don’t see it there anymore 🥲

    Wow.. I don’t know how I forgot this one but I think I speak for everyone when I say… the WI-FI was sooo slow 🗑 and a WASTE of money. Not sure if this was because of how many people were on the ship but I’m in the process of getting my money back now lol 😂😂

    Yeah they did make those rooms smaller. It makes me not to want to sail on the Mardi Gras again. The rest of the boat is beautiful, but I think that they took from the rooms to add more entertainment space.

      Hey Nick! Yes they were small I didn’t feel the true disappointment of it because I was solo but if two people were in there with me I would’ve had a FIT! 😂😂 still want to go back on though. Maybe just book a larger room this time

      @@SheaMonique Yeah, I had a balcony room on the very back of the boat that overlooked the pool and my room was big, but my parents had a regular balcony cabin and it was small. It is kind of tight in the regular rooms. But like I said, overall the size of the boat, the entertainment and activities and restaurants are Fire.
