Photo By: Carnival Mardi Gras On The Rocks! The RMS Empress of Canada was renamed Mardi Gras on February 21, 1972. She left for her first Caribbean voyage on March 11, 1972. As Ted Arison had no Mardi Gras ® sets sail with Emeril Lagasse's first-ever restaurant at sea: Emeril's Bistro 1396 ™. Everybody knows about Emeril's love for Creole cuisine, and now you'll enjoy the authentic bayou flavors and fun New Orleans is known for on your vacation. The first one on everyone's list is the Carnival Mardi Gras roller coaster Bolt, the first roller coaster at sea-- a genuine thrill ride you need to try at least once. And then there's the Atrium Carnival Cruise Line's first Mardi Gras, the 'Fun Ship' party, started nearly 50 years ago. Today, a newly built Mardi Gras is the flagship of the fleet and the life of the party. The attraction of brand-new cruise liners in the now rapidly expanding Carnival fleet could not dim the enduring popularity of the MARDI GRAS, and early in 1982, the aging ship was given an extensive refurbishment. Even by 1989, after seventeen years with Carnival, the MARDI GRAS was still recognizable as the former EMPRESS OF CANADA. On the day after Mardi Gras, it seems like a good time to take a quick look back at Carnival’s very first ship. RMS Empress of Canada was an ocean liner built in 1961 by Vickers-Armstrongs, Walker-on-Tyne, England for Canadian Pacific Steamships Ltd. The original Mardi Gras ship was launched under a different name in 1960, before becoming a Carnival ship and gaining the Mardi Gras name in 1972. Carnival sold the ship in 1993, after which the Carnival pays homage to the line's very first ship, 1972's TSS Mardi Gras, with the innovative Carnival Mardi Gras! Named for the original ship that took Carnival to the seas, Carnival Mardi Gras is an XL-Class ship that accommodates over 6,500 passengers. This ship boasts the very first roller coaster at sea, named BOLT: Ultimate Sea Coaster. The Mardi Gras is the first cruise ship in Carnival’s newest class of cruise ship, the Excel-class. It’s not just another iteration of their existing ships, but a whole new take on cruising from them. It’s literally bigger than anything Carnival has ever done before; 37% bigger than it’s previously largest ship, the Panorama. Mardis Gras - Staterooms and Public Rooms. 1.

With dining options ranging from Emeril’s Bistro 1396 serving Creole cuisine to Guy’s Burger Joint and Cucina del Capitano, there’s something to satisfy every craving. Im going on Mardi Gras next February. Really looking forward to it. When we sailed on Mariner of the Seas at the start of the month, Mardi Gras was leaving Port Canaveral at the same time. Everyone in our group was jealous, though mostly because of the roller coaster. The roller coast looks cool, but im not excited about spending $15/ride.
