Rare AtSeaWithChris Posted July 30, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2021 With all of the food choices, entertainment choices, accommodation choices, quiet and lively choices. There is truly something for everyone. Carnival has hit it out of the park with the Mardi Gras. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stellarose Posted July 30, 2021 #3 Share Posted July 30, 2021 hopefully she finally sails for me in late December early January 2022- the new variant is worrying me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csm5986142 Posted July 30, 2021 #4 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I agree - we are booked on Mardi Gras for April 2022, but as soon as Carnival opened bookings up again recently, I booked the Aug 21st sailing too. We just can't wait. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mexicobob Posted July 30, 2021 #5 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Looks to me to be a fantastic ship that will have too many people on it. Maybe they have it figured out. If/when I cruise on her I am fortunate enough to be able to afford the "1st class" cabins which I am sure will be great with their separate bar, pool, etc. Not sure about the rest of the ship. Will have to see what people say after a few sailings. I do not think Carnival is making a wise choice creating a class system on their ships. Know there has always been a difference between Inside Cabins and Suites but we all went to the same dining rooms, bars, pools, etc. That is changing. Maybe the "beards" as John Heald says, know what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeyell0 Posted July 30, 2021 #6 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I'm really excited to see what the street eats has. I am going to have to diet before so when i gain 30lbs it wont be so noticeable 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNcruising02 Posted July 30, 2021 #7 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I'm excited too. Since I don't know what the ports will require as far as masks, staying on the ship will actually be fun to do with a brand new ship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamartha Posted July 30, 2021 #8 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I'm with you! I'm booked on her in 22 days and again in both January and October of 2022. (Plus I have a 14 day on the Pride in October of this year) We've never sailed a ship in its inaugural season, we've always watched longingly but never even considered it before. This ship looks amazing and I'm so excited! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please point me to more information about this? There are classes of cabins and restaurants? I would like to learn more about this. Thank you.

Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted July 30, 2021 #11 Share Posted July 30, 2021 It's the "perfect storm".... a brand new class of ship which has been kept relatively under wraps (live video wise) combined with all of us having significant cruising withdrawals! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival still has IMO the best and most free restraints or places to eat compared to anyone. MSC does this with the yacht clubs where only YC member can eat in YC dining rooms 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passengers in those cabins have their own seperate MDR etc. They dont have to rub elbows with the great unwashed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSC does this with the yacht clubs where only YC member can eat in YC dining rooms Carnival Excel suites look amazing. There is only one area that is restricted to Excel suite guests only (other than daily cabana rentals) and that is Loft 19. To me, it is similar to the Havana restricted areas. The extra benefits aren't much more than Platinum benefits. There is free room service and movie rentals. Unless they expand the room service menu to include delivery from the MDR or other venues, it is a limited benefit. Excel suites don't have a private dining room or lounge. Celebrity has The Retreat, RCCL has Royal Suite Class, NCL has The Haven, and MSC has the Yacht Club. These areas are truly a separate class system within the ship with many enhanced benefits and amenities along with a premium price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
