Creator's Key Takeaways

our suite was 287 square feet which is more than double the size of our interior cabin on Carnival celebration

I was floored to see a second flat screen TV in this Suite

we had an entire separate living room to use in the cabin

the balcony had two chairs and a small table for us to use throughout the cruise so it made a really lovely spot

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description↓

When booking a cruise, your budget is mainly impacted by the type of stateroom you choose to stay in. While inside cabins are the cheapest, these staterooms only have the necessities of a bed, bathroom, vanity, closet and couch/chair (if you're lucky!). On the other hand, you can splurge on balconies or suites if you’re looking to have a private veranda or more spacious stateroom. As someone who normally sails in a cheap inside cabin, I’m used to having a very basic, no-frills room when cruising. These are simple accommodations, but they have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Last month though, I decided to make a splurge on an Ocean Suite onboard Carnival’s newest ship, Mardi Gras. Here are 10 things that wowed me about this spacious stateroom!
