Rare Eli_6 Posted August 8, 2021 Author #77 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Waterworks. There are numerous slides. Looks even bigger and better than the Vista Class water parks. And unlike Bolt, it is free. (I don't think the Bolt looks that great.) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNcruising02 Posted August 8, 2021 #79 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Thank you so much for all of the pictures and updates! If you go to a comedy show during your cruise, can you let me know if masks are required while watching the show if you don't have a drink? Thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noami Posted August 8, 2021 #80 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Is that little infinity edge pool the Loft 19 pool, Serenity, or free-access? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if they were required or not, but once everyone sat down, about a third of the people took them off. However, I also was at an early show and it was nowhere near full. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little pool overlooking Serenity with the glass is loft 19. The bigger pool near the outdoor sitting area is Serenity. However, there are 2 pools at the aft and at least one (deck 16) is infinity edge because I can see the water at the glass from my cabin below. Not sure about the pool in the patio area, but it looks like it may be infinity edge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have been cleaning or something. Not sure. I took that picture early yesterday morning when I first boarded. Have not been back to that area. But there isn't a shortage of lounge chairs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DebO17 Posted August 8, 2021 #86 Share Posted August 8, 2021 3 hours ago, Eli_6 said: As for masks, the only place they are strictly enforcing them is at the Lido Buffet...which, imo, where they SHOULD be enforced. I don't want people breathing on my food. They weren't even being enforced at dinner as people were walking to and from their seats without them. There are signs all over the ship, but no one is saying anything to anyone except at the buffet. Some people wear them, some don't. All of this fuss seems to be much ado about nothing. According to the letter that Carnival sent out, masks are "strongly encouraged", not mandatory. But hopefully common sense will prevail. Loving you review/pictures so far. I still have 433 days away 😞 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ninjacat123 Posted August 8, 2021 #91 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Thank you for posting your live review and answering questions, Mardi Gras looks awesome! Are you checking out the Spa during your cruise? If so, are they limiting the number of people? TIA! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hopefully common sense will prevail. Loving you review/pictures so far. I still have 433 days away 😞 The "strongly encouraged" is for all of the indoor locations where it is not mandatory. The mandatory areas were previously listed as buffet, casino, shops, entertainment venues, elevators, waiting in line at MDR and other areas around the ship where people congregate that will have signs. Seems like the only place that it is being enforced on the MG is the buffet. Last week there were a handful of positive cases reported on the Vista and mid cruise the mask policy went into effect. It was reported on a different thread that inside the entertainment venues, if you had a drink in your hand, that did not waive the mask rule, it was being enforced in between sips. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Option 1 is the Mardi Gras out of Port Canaveral, option 2 would be the Celebration out of Miami, which debuts at the end of 2022, and option 3 would be Excel 3, which is rumored to begin in late 2023 out of Galveston. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eli_6 Posted August 8, 2021 Author #99 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Also: They have a non smoking section in the casino. I don't know if they have this on other boats, but I have never noticed it if they do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
