About Carnival Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras, launched in 2021, is a groundbreaking Excel-class ship that redefines the cruising experience with its innovative features and diverse amenities. With a gross tonnage of 180,800 and a guest capacity ranging from 5,282 to 6,338 passengers, it offers ample space for relaxation and entertainment. The ship is 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. Mardi Gras will begin sailing from Port Canaveral later this summer and will offer week long cruises to the Caribbean. The cruise ship is the first of three Excel class ships being added Carnival The ship's architects noted that Mardi Gras requires a different dining flow, as the ship does not work if all guests eat their meals in the main dining room and Lido. Guests on Mardi Gras can dine one complimentary time in Cucina Del Capitano and then each additional visit costs extra ($8 per person at the time of writing). Reservations cannot be made pre-cruise to dine at Cucina Del Capitano on the Mardi Gras. Location: Deck 8 Mid-Ship 13. Bonsai Sushi Bonsai Sushi is the Mardi Gras' onboard sushi restaurant. Explore Mardi Gras dining Carnival Mardi Gras dining provides cruisers with a mouthwatering blend of exciting new dining options and perennial cruise line favorites. Passengers can taste authentic bayou flavors at Emeril’s Bistro 1396, Emeril Lagasse’s first-ever restaurant at sea, or enjoy a tableside performance at Bonsai Teppanyaki. Emeril’s Bistro may be found tucked away on Deck 6, in the French Quarter part of the ship; the number 1396 is a reference to the hull number of the Mardi Gras in the shipyard. This cooperation encompasses more than just a few plates, as Chef Emeril’s unique Cajun flavours will be incorporated into breakfast, lunch, and supper fare as a result.
