Disney Fantasy's exterior has a old-school steam boat feel while the interior leans into the Art Nouveau styling. Outside the ship, you'll see Dumbo painting the name on the stern. It's 9 years older than the Mardi Gras, which was built in 2021. The Mardi Gras pays homage to Carnival's first ship, also named the Mardi Gras. The Fantasy has a construction date of 2012 and a total size of 129,690 gross tons. The ship measures 1,115 feet (340 meters) in length and falls in line as number 6 among the 8 active ships that make up the fleet. Disney Fantasy is included in Disney’s Dream Class. At full capacity, the Disney Fantasy holds 5,458 passengers. The same itinerary on Disney Fantasy starts at $5,171 for an inside cabin or $6,445 for a verandah cabin for two people. In 2024, the starting rate for a three-night Bahamas cruise is $189 per person on Carnival or $618 per person on Disney, both based on double occupancy. Disney has just five cruise ships with a sixth, Disney Treasure, on the way in 2024, sister ship to Disney Wish launched in 2022. Carnival -- a cruise line with the tagline "Choose Fun" -- has 23 At around 102,000 tons, the Sunshine-class ships are more than 20% smaller than Carnival Panorama and more than 40% smaller than Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration. The ships hold from 2,984 to 3,002 passengers, based on double occupancy. Interestingly, these weren't always considered smaller vessels. I've been on ships larger than the Mardi Gras and Celebration (the largest ship I've been on is Oasis Of The Seas, currently ranking as the 4th largest cruise ship in the world at 226,838 tonnes vs the Mardi Gras (14th largest cruise ship at 181,808 tonnes) and Celebration (12th largest at 183,521 tonnes). I honestly never felt crowded on Oasis. The Mardi Gras is shiny and new and on an entirely new level for Carnival. The itinerary is definitely not amazing. I love Cozumel. But Mahogany Bay was not a great spot. Just a beach with abysmal food and shopping options. I’d probably still pick the Mardi Gras even with that, though. I’m a sucker for a shiny mega ship. The Carnival Mardi Gras has a total of 6 pools and 7 hot tubs. 2 of the pools are exclusive access, which means there's either an extra charge to access them or you need to book a certain class of cabin to have access to them. Disney Wish has more pools than the Mardi Gras and fewer hot tubs. There are more exclusive pools and hot tubs on the Wish. I went on Mardi Gras 3 weeks ago. My wife, two young kids and me. I sailed a lot as a kid (mostly Carnival but also RC and NCL) so on the MG I went platinum. It helped a lot with the lines for embarkation, guest services and disembarking. However, you’re right on. It’s quite crowded and the elevators are too small. The Mardi Gras is considered a large size ship. Coming in at 1,130 feet long and 137 feet wide, it's roughly the length of 3.1 football fields, as wide as 2.6 tractor-trailers and the same height as a 17-story building. Compared to the Disney Fantasy, the Mardi Gras is 39% larger in terms of overall tons. How does the Carnival Mardi Gras compare to the Disney Fantasy? The Mardi Gras was built in 2021.

When it comes to festivals that celebrate the spirit of revelry and indulgence, two names stand out: Carnival and Mardi Gras.While both are synonymous with vibrant parades, colorful costumes, and extravagant celebrations, they have distinct origins, traditions, and cultural significance.

See all the differences in terms of size, facilities, and dining options. as has been said i'm sure many times, it's actually such a shame carnival didn't go forward with their ambitious pinnacle project in the mid-2000s when they had a design that would put their stamp on the industry, well before the oasis class debuted. if only they pushed forward and we all could've maybe had 5-6 Mardi Gras ships out there by now The Carnival Mardi Gras was built in 2021. The Mardi Gras pays homage to Carnival's first ship, also named the Mardi Gras.

Disney Magic vs. Disney Dream Horn Battle. March 29, 2012 Disney Fantasy: Tips for Cruising from Port Canaveral Carnival Mardi Gras; Wonder of the Seas; Mardi Gras definitely has the better itinerary, but I would personally pick the Oasis over the Mardi Gras in terms of the ship itself. As a disclaimer, I've only been on one of the Oasis' sister ships, the Symphony of the Seas, and haven't been on the new Carnival ships. Getting ready to book a Valentine’s Day trip for my Bf and me , and I was looking at the Celebration or Mardi Gras for our 7 day trip. This is his first cruise and my fourth (all carnival) obviously my first time on either ship but I’m leaning towards Celebration however I’m still undecided even tho they are VERY similar I think the destinations that Celebration offers is better for this The Carnival Mardi Gras was built in 2021.
