Mardi Gras: Carnival Cruise Line: 181,808: Oasis of the Hello everybody, Sorry if this question has been asked before. We are thinking about a Celebration cruise. I saw the ship size, which is significantly smaller than the oasis class of Royal Caribbean and yet, the passenger capacity is about the same. Now my question to those, who have sailed on bo Carnival does a lot of things great but if you're talking pure ship design/size yeah they're a bit left behind. Mardi Gras / Jubilee IMHO are at least trying to compete but aren't where Royal was 15 years ago yet in terms of pure size and stuff to do. 6. Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas. Oasis of the Seas.

It made its maiden voyage in 2009, offering 18 total decks (16 Oasis was by far not my favorite cruise, but the ship was a marvel of ingenuity, we will try the Mardi Gras and see if the largeness will bring the same result for us as well. Op, no one knows what the Mardi Gras will even be like yet, so until specific details come out, you will have to base your decision on the known (Oasis) and the unknown. From end to end, the Carnival Mardi Gras length equals 1,130 feet (344 meters). Compare that to the average ship length of all 27 active vessels in Carnival fleet, measuring 985 feet (300 meters). Please see our size comparison chart above to see how this ship falls in line with all other active ships in the fleet. The flow rider, climbing wall, and zip line on Oasis are cool, but the waterpark on Carnival is large and the ropes course is daring (has a zip line portion built in). I also prefer the setup of the Carnival ships better when it comes to the ocean. On most Oasis-class ships, it doesn't feel like you're on the ocean. There's very little ocean views. Ship Size.

Compared to the Royal Caribbean Harmony of the Seas, the Mardi Gras is 20% smaller in terms of overall tons. I've sailed all the Oasis class, and visited Mardi Gras twice (but haven't sailed her yet). Maybe it's b/c of how much I've sailed Oasis class, but Mardi Gras is more exciting to me. I love the "many small venues vs a few large ones" approach. Lots of variety, really innovative design, and Carnival definitely doing some very different things.
