MEET THE CEREMONY. We kick off a new ship’s career with a naming ceremony and ours are one part tradition and a lotta parts fun! On the tradition end, we get dignitaries like Mardi Gras' godmother, Miss Dominican Republic Kimberly Jiménez, and our own Chief Fun Officer Shaq to help make sure the champagne bottle gets broken just right for good luck. Carnival Mardi Gras rooms are more thoughtful in terms of design and storage than other Carnival ships. Unsurprisingly, balcony rooms and Ocean Suites are popular for their views of the sea. In addition to all your fan-favorite Carnival features, you can choose even more fun on Mardi Gras. Fun fact: this ship was our first to introduce distinctive onboard zones where you can take mini-onboard excursions to different “worlds” and experiences! Here are some of the fun highlights you’ll find across Mardi Gras’ zones: Grand Central Mardi Gras, the newest ship from Carnival Cruise Line and the most ballyhooed vessel to debut this year, claims several superlatives -- the first ship with a roller coaster, the first ship in North America to run on liquefied natural gas and the first ship to have a side-facing atrium that looks out over the ocean (and converts to a theater at night). For the first time aboard Mardi Gras, Carnival has divided their ship into 6 distinct zones, each offering new and unique experiences!
