Have a Fun Filled Vacation on Carnival’s Mardi Gras
*Mardis Gras from Carnival… “When we launched our first ship, 1972’s TSS Mardi Gras, we made cruising a lot less stuffy, a bit less fancy, the kind of fun everybody could enjoy. Nobody expected this ship to change the cruise world, but… here we are! So here’s a brand-new ship with a familiar name. With this 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. Oh, and this Mardi Gras still shouts “fun!” at the top of its lungs. This ship introduces Zones — six themed areas packed with brand-new experiences for eating, drinking and spectacularly getting down to fun. There’s BOLT, the first-ever rollercoaster at sea, Emeril’s Bistro 1396 from yes-that-Emeril, Family Feud Live for everybody… plus incredible new bars like The Brass Magnolia and Fortune Teller. Everybody can enjoy Mardi Gras, sailing now. Come on down!”
You and other LDS Singles will get to enjoy all the amazing ship amenities as well as beautiful weather, spectacular sunsets, and much more. Set sail for the Eastern Caribbean aboard the brand new 2021 Mardi Gras by Carnival.

Single: $1,467.86 Double: $823.86
Triple: $666.86 Quad: $588.36
** Remember these rates are per person **
Ocean View Stateroom
These comfy rooms with a view let you take in the scenery as you sail toward your beautiful destinations. And how about those views? Nowhere on land will you find anything like ‘em. But the views aren’t all that matters here — Ocean View staterooms on Mardi Gras™ are a little bit bigger than Interior rooms and most feature a supremely loungeable couch for those times when neither lying nor standing will do.
Single: $1,801.86 Double: $992.86
Triple: 779.53 Quad: $672.86
** Remember these rates are per person **
Balcony Stateroom
Balcony staterooms are proof that while it’s great to be cruisey… on vacation, breeziness is a virtue too. And any time you’re in your well-appointed Balcony stateroom aboard Mardi Gras™, you’re just steps away from the outdoors by way of your private open-air oasis. Designed for kicking back al fresco, you’re in for some amazing ocean views… views so stunning you’ll just have to feel ‘em to believe ‘em.
Single: $2,027.86 Double: $1,103.86
Triple: $853.53 Quad: $728.86
** Remember these rates are per person **
