Creator's Key Takeaways

This is Carnival's Marty Gro, and I'm here to find out if it's all fun and games, or just all noise.

This ship is basically a floating pub crawl.

I'd book the same suite again in a heartbeat.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a suite for first off privileges at ports.
Splurge on Loft 19 on a port day for half price.
Come prepared to talk with your neighbors at specialty dining as tables are close.

Carnival Mardi Gras 2025 Review | Transatlantic Cruise from Cape Canaveral to Barcelona Join me as I sail aboard Carnival’s groundbreaking Excel-class ship — the Carnival Mardi Gras — on a 14-night transatlantic cruise from Cape Canaveral to Barcelona, with stops in Celebration Key, Tenerife, Cádiz (for Sevilla), and Málaga. This detailed Carnival Mardi Gras review covers everything: my stay in Suite 9433 (Deluxe Aft Suite), the Cloud 9 Spa Thermal Suite, and the incredible Loft 19 cabanas. I joined a hands-on Cake Workshop, cooked gumbo during Emeril’s Favorite class, and explored Asian flavors in The Orient Unknown dinner experience. From Fortune Teller Bar cocktails that change color to the smooth jazz of Brass Magnolia, and the neon 80’s Night deck party that turned into a full-blown Thriller dance-off, this ship kept me entertained every day. I’ll also show you Afternoon Tea at Sea, Big Chicken sandwiches, Guy’s Burger Joint, Bonsai Teppanyaki, and the Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse — some of the best dining I’ve had on any cruise. Ports include Carnival’s brand-new Celebration Key Bahamas, Tenerife’s volcanic beaches, Sevilla’s flamenco streets, Málaga’s seafood markets, and Barcelona’s iconic skyline. 👉 Have you sailed on the Carnival Mardi Gras or any Carnival Excel Class ship?
