MEET CARNIVAL MARDI GRAS:
FUN-FUELED VACATION INNOVATION
When Carnival launched their first ship, 1972’s TSS Mardi Gras, they knew we were shaking things up. Carnival made cruising a lot less stuffy, a bit less fancy, the kind of fun everybody could enjoy.
Carnival Cruise Lines is launching a brand-new ship with a familiar name. You guessed it: Mardi Gras. They aren’t just paying homage to their 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. Carnival built this new Mardi Gras to live up to that legacy, so start daydreaming now about what’s to come! For one thing, this ship introduces Zones — six themed areas packed with brand-new experiences for eating, drinking, and spectacularly getting down to fun and even more thrilling, BOLT™, the first-ever rollercoaster at sea!
BOLT: ULTIMATE SEA COASTER
Aboard Mardi Gras™ you will meet BOLT™: the fastest — and first! — rollercoaster at sea. You’ll be able to strap in and zoom your motorcycle-style speed machine around an open-air course high, high above sea level. This all-electric thrill ride puts guests in the driver’s seat. That means you actually get to control how fast you go, so you can hit the gas and try for the fastest time, go for the biggest thrill — plus some amazing 360° ocean views! And for the folks who choose to chill: go light on the pedal, and this just might be the coaster for you!
WATERWORKS
For those who flock to waterparks just ready to make a splash, I’d suggest sliding on over to WaterWorks™ aboard Mardi Gras™. Three large-scale spiraling slides, a giant dumping bucket, twin racing slides, and more — you know, the works — are all practically overflowing for hydro-delight. When you spot the big slides on board you’ll see Carnival mean business, splashy business: Blue Lightning™ is packed with headfirst, high-speed twists and turns, while Orange Thunder™ starts you off standing before propelling you down into a world of wetness… and of course, Carnival’s signature Twister™ slide keeps on thrilling splash-seekers.
