why so many bad reviews of the Mardi Gras?
Wolfshair replied to jxtgreek's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I have been on the Mardi Gras 6 times out of my 48 cruises and I absolutely love the ship. I have no problem with any of their dining options, I've been on Balcony and Interior rooms, I've been in the spa rooms, and I would go back on the ship in a heartbeat. Don't let anyone scare you off. See for yourself. -

You can get a free lunch at both Cucina del Capitano and JiJi's Asian Kitchen. You also have the buffet, regular dining room, Guy's Burger, the Blue Iquana Cantina, Pizza, the Deli.... if you can't find something you like then you're not trying. There are some pay places also. -
Yeah, it definitely depends on the ship. Some have a nice view and larger pools and some very small pools. They do limit the number of extra passes but if you have a spa room you can go any time. It does get crowded sometimes on sea days. Some have dry heat rooms also. They are pretty nice.

The Spa interior is only good if you like the amenities. If you don't use them then the spa area is not worth it. My wife and I love them but you have to be on the right ships for them to be worth it in my opinion. Oceanview is great if you don't use the spa facilities but I don't think of it as an upgrade.

Yeah, we like to get our breakfast at the Lido and then take it to the pool area at back. Much quieter.

Just as a different opinion, my wife and I never get a drink package because it's not cost effective for us and we always go and get our free drink at the dining room. Different strokes for different folks.

I've had upgrades that I was interested in and accepted them and I've had upgrades I had no interest in and never accepted. It's nothing to be offended by. They have some rooms to let go and they make an offer. Just pass them by when you don't like it. Enjoy your cruise.

My wife and I always use the free drink, we also just go to the dining room, order our drinks and then leave with them. I have to admit, I have always recommended to Carnival that they just give us a free drink at any bar.

It's a 1 time per cruise benefit.

I believe it is only supposed to be used while you are playing a game.

Your boarding pass will say Priority if you get it. -

that limit only applies to people with a drink package -
Spa room benefits- Mardi Gras/Celebration??
Wolfshair replied to May1cruiser's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
My understanding of the spa rooms is this ... Priority spa reservations, free fitness classes, unlimited access to the thermal suites, discounts on treatments during port days, a unique welcome ritual, complimentary scrub kits, complimentary body composition analysis, spa bathrobes and slippers, and upgraded elemis toiletries. Hope that helps.
