Creator's Key Takeaways

It's an older ship, probably my least favorite cruise ship I've ever been on. And it was just falling apart.

The beef and broccoli was delicious. When it came to appetizers, the carnitas definitely better than the pot stickers.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make sure you know where you want to go when booking cruises to avoid booking the wrong port.
Bargain when shopping at the craft market.
Get port Wi-Fi if you didn't buy the ship's internet package.

Welcome to Day 4 on board the Carnival Mardi Gras as we set sail out of Port Canaveral, Florida for a 7 day cruise to the Western Caribbean with port stops in Cozumel and Isla Tropicale Cruise Center, formerly known as Mahogany Bay. Today is port day and we are at Mahogany Bay or Isla Tropicale Cruise Center in Roatan, Honduras. We did not have an excursion booked so we walked around the port and did some shopping and exploring the beach.
