Creator's Key Takeaways

The Carnival Mardi Gras has completed its major dry dock in France, and this is the most up-to-date and complete full ship tour you will find!

We've eaten here several times, and it never disappoints.

The entire bolt track was replaced during dry dock. The new design helps it dry faster after rain, which means less downtime and more people getting their thrill fix.

It's easy to see why so many guests say Summerlanding is their favorite spot on board.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive early for shows to get a good seat.
Use the Carnival Hub app to reserve tables for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Try the new specialty stations at the buffet for additional purchase.
Set spending limits on sign and sail cards for young cruisers.
