FUN-FUELED VACATION INNOVATION

CRUISING THE CARIBBEAN

EVERYBODY CAN ENJOY MARDI GRAS, SAILING FROM PORT CANAVERAL IN 2021!

YOUR CLIENTS WILL BE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE THE BEAUTY OF THE CARIBBEAN ABOARD MARDI GRAS.

When we launched our first ship, 1972’s TSS Mardi Gras, we knew we were shaking things up. We made cruising a lot less stuffy, a bit less fancy, the kind of fun everybody could enjoy.

We don’t have proof, but evidence suggests that the Caribbean was made for cruising. And in 2021, your clients can experience this magical destination aboard Carnival’s newest ship, Mardi Gras!

Nobody expected this ship to change the cruise world, but… here we are! And if it happened again, it wouldn’t surprise us. In 2021 we’ll be launching a brand-new ship with a familiar name. You guessed it: Mardi Gras. We aren’t just paying homage to our first ship — in cruising circles this name suggests innovation, signals the start of something big and it shouts “fun!” at the top of its lungs. We’re building this new Mardi Gras to live up to that legacy, so start daydreaming now about what’s to come!

The evidence this destination was made for cruising is in the crisp Caribbean air, soft sandy beaches, and clear blue waters.

With more than 5,000 islands and cays spread across this amazing region, there’s a lot of paradise your clients can see when they cruise to the Caribbean aboard Mardi Gras. Best of all, the mild climate means it doesn’t even matter what time of year your clients visit. A Carnival Caribbean cruise will take them to some of the coolest hot-spots!

For one thing, this ship introduces Zones — six themed areas packed with brand-new experiences for eating, drinking and spectacularly getting down to fun. More announcements are still to come, but we’re all ready to pull the wraps off what may be the most thrilling: BOLT™, the first-ever rollercoaster at sea!

Book your clients on a cruise to the Caribbean aboard Mardi Gras for a chance to experience: • Snorkeling in the great natural reefs surrounded by crystal-clear waters.

• The best year-round tropical weather.

• Amazing beach views on horseback… or beach chair.

FUN TO GO

AROUND

Mardi Gras will be our first ship to introduce themed zones!

Each area is uniquely inspired to create a different atmosphere than the next and will allow you to create your own personalized vacation with dining, libation, entertainment, recreation, and relaxation options. The six themed zones are: STREET EATS

GRAND CENTRAL

SUMMER LANDING

On a Carnival cruise, your vacation starts in the atrium, and on Mardi Gras that’s in the Grand Central zone. On this ship, the atrium’s different. There are high ceilings that hint at fun living on the three decks above and floorto-ceiling windows bringing in ocean views. Plus, you’re not far from great dining at Bonsai Sushi and Bonsai Teppanyaki, and good entertainment at Piano Bar 88 and The Punchliner Comedy Club.

EMERIL’S BISTRO 1396™ We couldn’t build a French Quarter on Mardi Gras without an Emeril restaurant!! In 2021, Mardi Gras will sail with Emeril Lagasse’s first-ever restaurant at sea: Emeril’s Bistro 1396™.

You’ll now be able to enjoy the authentic bayou flavors New Orleans is known for on your vacation! From fried oysters and duck & sausage gumbo, to po-boy sandwiches, fresh ceviche and more!

THE FRENCH QUARTER What inspired The French Quarter is no less than New Orleans itself! You’ll be pleased to hear that The French Quarter is lined with bars, eateries, and spots serving up everything from small plates to classic Hurricane cocktails straight from the bayou. Also, Mardi Gras will set sail with Emeril Lagasse’s first-ever restaurant at sea: Emeril’s Bistro 1396!

LA PIAZZA

SUMMER LANDING

FAMILY FEUD LIVE™

LA PIAZZA

THE ULTIMATE PLAYGROUND

FAMILY FEUD LIVE™

La Piazza stands for flavor and it starts with Cucina del Capitano, which brings your party together for a night of Italian favorites, while Pizzeria del Capitano makes delizioso happen for you 24 hours a day atop a base of imported Italian flour and fresh mozzarella. Mardi Gras also debuts a new Mediterranean spot where you’ll sip authentic espresso drinks by day and classic Italian cocktails by night.

LIDO Aboard Mardi Gras, Lido, our poolside zone, features delicious and fun ways to spend a day. 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, Seafood Shack, and BlueIguana Cantina. Lido is also home to fan-favorite Swirls, the free soft-serve spot cranking out the cool 24/7.

THE ULTIMATE PLAYGROUND Don’t let the name fool you, this zone is for ages everybody and up. 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. It also has the largest Carnival WaterWorks ever, plus SportSquare featuring an entire mini-golf course, full-court basketball and a ropes course. Ultimate enough for you?

STREET EATS Debuting on Mardi Gras with three ever-changing open-air stations, Street Eats is Carnival’s tribute to the food-truck phenomenon! There’s one station specializing in steamed stuff like bao buns and shumai, one that puts the “skill” in skillet with the likes of kebab and satay, and one that fries up favorites like empanadas and falafel. You may be far from the street, but flavor’s right around the corner.

Summer Landing is the greatest chill spot at sea! Know what goes great with chilling outdoors? BBQ, so we’re building a Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse | Brewhouse into this zone to make sure it always tastes like summer here. You won’t be surprised that the pool isn’t far with our original Parched Pig™ beers brewing just a few feet away!

LIDO

Within each of our themed zones, there are a ton of new fun attractions and delicious dining options you can look forward to on Mardi Gras! Ready to build up that excitement?

BOLT™: ULTIMATE SEA COASTER™

Family Feud™ has delighted viewers at home for generations, but you’ll now be able to buzz-in on a cruise ship! Family Feud™ Live exclusively hits Mardi Gras in 2021. Hosted by the ship’s cruise director, the show will take place in Mardi Gras’ Grand Central zone. Every sailing will host four unique games where you can choose to participate or join the studio audience for a chance to compete in the “Insta-family” version of the game!

BOLT™: ULTIMATE SEA COASTER™ On Mardi Gras you’ll also meet BOLT™: the fastest and first rollercoaster at sea! Strap in and zoom your motorcycle-style speed machine around an open-air course high above sea level. You’ll get to control how fast you go, so hit the gas and try for the fastest time or choose chill mode and go light on the pedal. This just might be the coaster for you!

BIG

COMFORT FOR YOU

Mardi Gras’ staterooms are major innovations in the field of helping you get ready for fun, or relaxing after a long day. (No joke — we studied it!)

INTERIOR An Interior stateroom is the most affordable way for you to cruise, and Mardi Gras’ interiors don’t leave out the comfort! This room is great for curling up after a long day’s fun, featuring cozy Carnival Comfort Collection linens and more.

HAVANA INTERIOR*1 For a stateroom with extra sabor, check out a Havana Interior stateroom.

You’ll find yours all flavorfully decked out in Old Havana style, taking its cues from a place and time that certainly weren’t lacking in style. Plus, you’ll find all this for a great price!

FAMILY HARBOR INTERIOR* To truly experience the cozy sanctuary that a harbor provides, check out a Family Harbor Interior stateroom. These rooms are not only an affordable way to keep the family close, but feature a unique nautical décor inspired by the craft of seafaring itself.

CLOUD 9 SPA INTERIOR* We’ve taken the warm essence of our Cloud 9 Spas and infused it into spa staterooms on Mardi Gras. This room is the perfect place to do less, actually: just relax and take some me-time, anytime.

BALCONY Balcony staterooms were designed for maximum sea breeze and the most stunning views, so look to a balcony if you’re looking to cruise aboard Mardi Gras. Any time you’re in your room, you’ll be just steps away from your own personal outdoor oasis, featuring the sort of sea view you can also feel.

COVE BALCONY Love the sea? Mardi Gras Cove Balcony staterooms are the best way to see the sea — these rooms get you close to the waterline, and feature balconies that let you make the most of your location. Enjoy things from a whole new perspective: one amazing up-close view of the wake and seafoam as the ship cruises along.

PREMIUM-VIEW EXTENDED BALCONY Book a stateroom with a balcony and you’re going to enjoy your vacation with an extra dose of sea breeze. These balconies face forward or backward (most balconies face left or right), so you’ll get a unique view of your vacation featuring what’s up ahead or behind the ship! (Note: forward-facing rooms have partially obstructed views).

CLOUD 9 SPA BALCONY* Whether you’re warming up for your spa appointment or winding down, there’s no better place to do it than on your Cloud 9 Spa Balcony. Breathing is important — take in the ocean breeze, then let it out. You’re already getting the hang of spa life!

CLOUD 9 SPA FORWARD-VIEW EXTENDED BALCONY*

OCEAN VIEW Catch a glimpse of what’s going by from your Ocean View stateroom aboard Mardi Gras, where you’ll get views you won’t find anywhere on land. Don’t miss sunrise and sunset at sea — your stateroom is a great way to experience these!

This room has something nobody’s ever seen in a Cloud 9 Spa stateroom before — the balcony faces forward, so you can get a view of what’s up ahead of the ship, sort of like the captain’s view! Sit out on your balcony, which is larger than the standard one, and watch destinations appear on the horizon as we approach them.

HAVANA CABANA*1

The best way to enjoy the relaxing, invigorating Cloud 9 Spa while on a cruise is in a spa stateroom and this one fits the bill, pairing comfy accommodations with a great view.

There are great amenities by the handful in this Havana-flavored stateroom, but the most exciting one is likely to be this: Havana Cabana staterooms come with an outdoor patio, complete with your own loungy deck chairs, all right outside your room. These rooms feature Cuba-inspired décor, plus loads of sunlight courtesy of the floor-to-ceiling window.

FAMILY HARBOR OCEAN VIEW*

HAVANA EXTENDED CABANA*1

If you’re cruising with family (especially little ones), you can experience the wide-eyed wonder of sailing in a room with a view: a Family Harbor Ocean View stateroom. Not only will a vacation with a view like this help cultivate a lifelong love of the ocean, but Family Harbor staterooms feature a unique nautical décor inspired by the craft of seafaring itself.

Folks love staterooms like this for the Old Havana flavor… but that’s only the beginning. Right outside the Havana Extended Cabana lies a large outdoor patio, complete with your own loungy deck chairs. Back inside the room your clients will enjoy loads of sunlight courtesy of the floor-to-ceiling window.

CLOUD 9 SPA OCEAN VIEW*

*Specialty staterooms include exclusive perks!

1 All Havana stateroom guests must be 12 or older.
