Editorial Summary

Carnival Cruise Line has released new details regarding the Mardi Gras, which is set to be the largest cruise ship in the company's history. Measuring 180,000 gross tons, the vessel is scheduled to home port at a new terminal in Port Canaveral starting in 2020. The ship features a design centered around six unique themed zones that move away from traditional atrium layouts. One central area called Grand Central will house a dedicated punchliner comedy club, a piano bar, and sushi dining options. Another zone inspired by the French Quarter will offer eateries and lounges reminiscent of New Orleans, connected by a two deck promenade. Guests can also visit La Piazza for Italian cuisine or enjoy casual favorites like Guy's Burger Joint and Blue Iguana Cantina. For entertainment and recreation, the ship includes an expanded sports square and the largest Carnival Waterworks aquapark in the fleet. A major highlight is Bolt, which is described as the first roller coaster at sea, positioned 187 feet above the ocean. Itineraries for the Mardi Gras were scheduled to be announced and opened for sale on January 30, 2019.
