How does the Carnival Mardi Gras compare to the Carnival Vista? The Mardi Gras was built in 2021. It is 5 years newer than the Vista, which was built in 2016 and renovated in 2024. See all the differences in terms of size, facilities, and dining options. Overall, I don't know if your experience will be much different on Mardi Gras. The layout is totally different, but it's the same kind of experience overall. It'd be different if you were talking about Carnival's older ships for booze cruises, but the Vista should provide similar levels of service, options, and class as the Mardi Gras. Haven’t been on Vista but have been on Panorama, Horizon and Mardi Gras. I agree with most of what’s been said but as a Cloud 9 Spa fan I hated the Thalassa pool on Mardi Gras, much nicer on the Vista class (Dream class still best). Loved the food options on Mardi Gras, Shaq’s Chicken is great, never ate a Guy’s burger on Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras is Carnival's flagship. I would much rather go to Half Moon Cay than Nassau however and I don't think anyone would disagree with that. So it really depends, are you more of a ship cruiser or a destination cruiser. If the ship is your destination, then Mardi Gras. If you're more interested in the ports of call, then Vista. I'm stuck picking between Vista and Mardi Gras for myself, wife, and sons (4 and 6). Picking between Vista family harbor cove balcony or family harbor ocean view deluxe. and then on the mardi gras either family harbor ocean view or a higher up extended balcony. Which ship is better suited for kid I've cruised both ships plus the two newer Carnival LNG ships, Celebration and Jubilee, and several other Carnival ships. Both ships are nice although the Mardi Gras being a good bit larger has more entertainment, more bars, more food options, and larger crowds. Vista vs Mardi Gras.

The Mardi Gras is so much better than Vista (in every way I can think of) that I would agree (I wouldn't even care the itenerary). Vista has Mardi Gras on Asian restaurants, IMAX theaters, sports only sports bars, and secret decks. How does the Carnival Vista compare to the Carnival Mardi Gras? The Vista was built in 2016.

I know the Mardi Gras is newer and bigger. The age of the ship doesn't matter to me. Also, the itinerary is almost the same so that isn't an issue.

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 was built in 2021.
