Boarding Carnival MARDI GRAS - Our First Mega Ship Experience!!

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators document their experience boarding the Carnival Mardi Gras, noting it is one of the earliest sailings for this mega ship. After traveling via shuttle from Orlando to Port Canaveral, they navigate the boarding process, which requires a printed boarding pass for security stamping. The video highlights the updated muster drill procedure, which the creators describe as more efficient than previous methods. Upon entering their cabin, they review the modern decor, extensive storage options, and the unique configuration of the bathroom and closets. They also examine their cove balcony, noting the small size and the specific way the door swings outward. The culinary experience is a major focus, beginning with a meal at Guy's Burger Joint, where they praise the quality and the dedicated restaurant space. The trip continues with a visit to the Pig and Anchor Smokehouse, where they sample a variety of meats including brisket, chicken, and pulled pork. They conclude by comparing the smokehouse offerings to a specialty dining experience on another cruise line, ultimately expressing high satisfaction with the ship's amenities and food.
