toledo Posted March 19, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I thought I read somewhere that there is a Mardi Gras party on the Miracle. If so, I'll need to throw some beads in the suitcase. Anyone know? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted March 19, 2008 #2 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Haven't heard of any Mardi Gras parties on any ship. Keep your beads till next year.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendaB1 Posted March 19, 2008 #3 Share Posted March 19, 2008 They did on Fantasy in Oct & on Conquest the year before that. If they have one on Miracle, the staff will have a few beads to pass out or toss but feel free to pack a few just in case. They can always be tossed when the midnight deck party is going on.

Cotton Posted March 19, 2008 #4 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Brenda, thx. I had never heard of it...either on these boards or by being on the ships (even the Conquest)... I learn somethin' every day, friend.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolinamamasita Posted March 19, 2008 #5 Share Posted March 19, 2008 They did have Mardi Gras party on the Fantasy ship both times in 2007 It would be listed in the capers ... so perhaps we can have someone check their recent capers for this I am sure it couldnt just be a FANTASY thing right ?

marym933 Posted March 19, 2008 #6 Share Posted March 19, 2008 When I was on the Celebration, there was a deck party the evening we left Nassau. It was called "Bahamian Mardi Gras" with a tropical buffet and drink specials. I have been on the 7 day Miracle from Tampa, but can't find my capers. I will keep looking.

I learn somethin' every day, friend.:D LOL Good to see you stranger. Haven't seen you around lately. Heading back to Nola soon for another cruise. One of these days we are going to get to meet you. :D Mardi Gras party on Fantasy was lots of fun with Big Tex onboard. It's more like a bar crawl which is actually a great way to get people involved & show the variety of music that is available around the ship in different spots.

suseg Posted March 19, 2008 #9 Share Posted March 19, 2008 To the best of my knowledge the Conquest has a Mardi Gras party on each cruise. We had one whilst on her last year (it wasn't Mardi Gras season btw)....I think it was on Wednesday night. You're broken into teams, depending on your team color, and parade through the ship, stopping at various locations where everyone participates in group activities. There are drinks available in coconut heads (which are banks, so it was a fun gift to bring back to my grandson) but not many beads. One of my CC buddies is from New Orleans so she brought a ton of beads, some really fantastic ones from her "crue" (sorry if the spelling is incorrect). It was a fairly late activity and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted March 20, 2008 #10 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Brenda - SOMEday, I promise!:D Suse - I can't imagine how I missed any Mardi Gras celebration! I've been in many "krewes" (just so you know:)) over half my life, both in my hometown of N.O. and here on the coast. So, I'd never miss anything related...just didn't hear or see anything on the Conquest. I guess I need to pay more attention!:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truecruiser Posted March 20, 2008 #11 Share Posted March 20, 2008 the liberty deck party in dec was a mardi gras party. don't know if they will switch it to miracle, but no need to pack your beads. they'll throw them out from the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
