Your Carnival Mardi Gras Cruise Ship has 6 zones of FUN
Grand Central
On a Carnival cruise vacation starts in the atrium, and on Mardi Gras that’s in the Grand Central zone. On this ship the atrium’s different! High ceilings that hint at fun living on the three decks above and floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in the ocean views. In Grand Central, no one is ever far from great dining spots like Bonsai Sushi and Bonsai Teppanyaki, plus feel-good entertainment like Piano Bar 88 and The Punchliner Comedy Club. During the day, Grand Central serves as a relaxing spot for you to enjoy a coffee, drink or light meal, people watch, listen to live music, or partake in trivia contests and other leisurely pursuits. At night, Grand Central transforms into an intimate and immersive venue with a rotation of spectacular, soon-to-be-revealed experiences created just for Mardi Gras.
The French Quarter
If “big” and “easy” sounds about right for your vacation, you could make the French Quarter your home zone. Inspired by New Orleans, the French Quarter is lined with bars and eateries worthy of their namesake, spots serving up everything from small plates to classic Hurricane cocktails straight from the bayou. Just steps away there’s entertainment inspired by the world-renowned Crescent City nightlife — yep, there’s a hot jazz club in this zone — plus you’re not far from bars, lounges and some funky little shops.
Summer landing
Summer Landing is “the greatest chill spot at sea.” Here you’ll find freshly-smoked faves designed by Guy Fieri at Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse | Brewhouse not far from the pool and whirlpool.
La Piazza
This zone stands for atmosphere and flavor, and it starts with Cucina del Capitano®, which brings your crew together for an evening of Italian favorites served family-style, while Pizzeria del Capitano serves up pizza 24 hours a day with imported Italian flour and fresh mozzarella. Mardi Gras™ debuted Piazza Panini where the handhelds are hot and pressed, plus Bar della Rosa, where you'll sip authentic espresso drinks by day and classic Italian cocktails when the sun goes down. All this flavor and flair we’ve got in here may practically transport you straight to Italy… but don’t forget that so much of it can be enjoyed outdoors in the sea breeze!
Lido
Aboard Mardi Gras this poolside zone features even more delicious and fun ways to spend a day. Everybody looks to Lido for variety, and with tons of casual dining spots you’ll discover new experiences among the flavors that keep you coming back. You can take in a Dive-In Movie at the pool and you’re not far from signature Carnival favorites like Guy’s Burger Joint, the New England-inspired Seafood Shack, and BlueIguana Cantina taco spot. Lido is home to fan-favorite Swirls, the free soft-serve spot cranking out ice cream 24 hours a day!
The ultimate playground
The kids (and kids at heart) are going to love this! The Ultimate Playground starts with BOLT™, the first rollercoaster at sea, an all-electric thrill ride that puts the power of speed in your hands. But that’s only the beginning — this playground has the largest Carnival WaterWorks ever with three huge spiraling slides, plus SportSquare is here featuring an entire mini-golf course, full-court basketball, a ropes course and more!
