Creator's Key Takeaways

i probably wasn't a carnival fan and i wasn't going back on any more carnival ships and i stand by what i said

carnival mardi gras is a totally different type of ship than carnival's typical ship

the elevators are just entirely too small they don't hold enough they really are

i did not feel the crowds the way it may appear from some of the video

Creator's Tips & Advice

Print your boarding pass instead of using a phone
Park on deck level four to walk directly into the terminal
Avoid the buffet on boarding day to escape crowds
Bring patience for elevator waits, especially with mobility devices
