Creator's Key Takeaways
We've been on 17 different Carnival ships and always go to the welcome aboard show and do this which essentially meet the cruise director, see a little sneak preview of all the shows and hear about the week ahead. But this one, this one on the Marty Gro topped them all.
Rudy Seagril is one of the more upscale specialty dining venues on Carnival Martyra, and it feels noticeably different from Carnival's traditional dining options the moment you walk in.
This is a massive ship and we haven't even explored I think half of it just yet.
If you're ever on the Mardigra, we highly suggest that you get reservations for Rudy's Seagril.
