Seeing the actual pictures now, I CAN NOT WAIT until it's finally my turn... Originally booked for Nov 28 2020, but after being cancelled on, moved it to Nov 27 2021... 

I’ll sail her a few weeks before you on 11/6.

Signing papers with the finance guy at the dealer is always the worst...

One step closer!

Wow, what a beautiful ship 😀

Very nice ship!  I think I will book this one as soon as she starts sailing!

Hope to be on her July 24.

I wonder if they fell for the paint protection and Scotchgard scam?

We booked the Mardi Gras a year and a half ago for May 2021! We didn’t think we would be one of the first sailings on her (if we sail). We are excited to see the new ship! 

Sadly, you're not! That ship ain't moving anytime soon.

Couldn't have been too bad. Its only a year + late. I think they got a Brand new 2019 at the end of 2020!!

Mardi Gras is in Rotterdam today. She is on her way here.

So, in the new batch of pictures released last week, I see one of the "Bar Della Rosa". I've attached the image below.

 

 

I've searched and can't find any mention of this bar anywhere else: on the forum, on Google, or on the deck plans! I'm wondering if it is the little bar-shaped counter near the Pizzeria? Although that seems to be the wrong shape/rotation.

There's a space not labeled on the port side of that deck just aft of Cucina del Capitano. It may be on that side given it appears to be along an exterior wall.

If you look on the Carnival website at the deck plans, choose deck 8 and look at the area called "La Piazza"... Click on 360 degree view, and rotate the view until you see this bar. There is no Bar Della Rosa sign in the picture, but the bar, tile, and ceiling all appear the same... 

 

Something I found related to this area:

La Piazza: In this Italy-inspired zone passengers can grab a bite at another Carnival favorite, Cucina del Capitano, as well as an all-new Mediterranean seafood restaurant. There also will be a bar selling specialty coffee (including cappuccinos) during the day and cocktails at night, while roaming musicians will provide entertainment.

Went ahead and took a chance on an August 2021 sailing.

We are booked for October 9, 2021.  I really hope we are cruising by then.  I am so ready to be back on the ocean.

My family is booked for June5-12 2021   fingers crossed

Good find! I hadn't seen the 360 views yet.
