Creator's Key Takeaways
I recently had the chance to experience it firsthand while staying in an interior Cloud9 spa stateroom, and I can tell you it's not your typical Carnival cruise.
The Bolt Ultimate Sea Coaster zips you around the top deck at speeds up to 40 m an hour, and you control the throttle.
It's a whole new class of ship and feel. Marty Gro is the first ship in Carnival's Excel class, meaning it's larger, more refined, and designed with a mix of energy and sophistication.
If you want a Carnival cruise that combines fun, flavor, and a touch of luxury, I think Martyra is where all those worlds meet.
