Carnival's Mardi Gras & Carnivale "The Great Little Getaway" 1986

Here is a promo video from 1986 of Carnival's original Mardi Gras, their first ship, and her running mate the Carnivale. This video is provided from one of our wonderful viewers at Dunlevy Productions, we thank Trey very much for this gem. The video highlights the short cruises these two ships used to offer.

I went on the Mardi Gras in the late 80s, I don't think they had any balcony rooms

WOW.........has cruising ever changed, and for the worst! It's a nightmare of scores of people, and mostly nobody I would ever wanna be trapped with for a week! I quit cruising.
