The “Suite” Life on Carnival’s Next Ship Mardi Gras

Cruises

When Carnival Cruise Line’s newest ship, Mardi Gras, launches in August of 2020, she will certainly be a game-changer. One of the most exciting differences is in the category of suites. Here’s a look at what to expect from these premium accommodations, all of which are available to book now.

The new premium suite level on Mardi Gras includes 32 suites in four categories:

CARNIVAL EXCEL SUITE

A Carnival Excel Suite aboard Mardi Gras is the kind of room that proves that vacation and comfort go hand-in-hand. In this large room you will find not only a bathroom with a spacious shower and a double sink, but a good amount of room for living and lounging, plus true nice-to-haves like a dining area and two TVs — one in the sleeping area and one in the living space. The room also features extra space for kicking back, ocean-breeze-style, on a balcony featuring lounge chairs and an al fresco dining table.

CARNIVAL EXCEL CORNER SUITE

A Captain’s Suite aboard Mardi Gras features tons of indoor space, plus a large wraparound balcony with lounge chairs and an al fresco dining table, for when you need a little more space. Back inside this impressive room you’ll find a king-size bed, deluxe bathroom plus a living room featuring a wet bar.

CARNIVAL EXCEL AFT SUITE

A Carnival Excel Aft Suite is one of the most spacious staterooms on the ship… and if we’re talking square-footage, let’s just say the wraparound balcony is made for entertaining. (Okay, let’s also say it has a private hot tub, dining area, a daybed, and a sitting area) But back inside the room, which features a separate living room and bedroom, you will find some nice perks that make this room truly deluxe. For instance, how about an ample bathroom with large shower and double sink, plus a separate private room featuring a toilet and extra sink? They’ll have it all. Or two TVs, a walk-in closet, a lighted vanity and sectional sofa? All of those — check!

CARNIVAL EXCEL PRESIDENTIAL SUITE

If you are looking for the largest stateroom and best view on the ship — one practically the same as what the captain sees — then your search stops here. But there’s more to know: for one thing, this stateroom features a separate living room and bedroom, and these spaces are packing two TVs, a walk-in closet, a lighted vanity and sectional sofa. There’s a dining area, and of course there’s a wet bar. You’ll find truly deluxe extras like the bathroom with large shower and two sinks, plus a separate private room featuring a toilet and extra sink. Did we forget the hot tub? Of course not — it’s outside on the wraparound balcony, which is so large that “balcony” might not even be the right description since it features seating and lounging options, from lounge chairs to loveseats, rocking chair to daybed, for over a dozen of close friends, including four at the al fresco dining table.

OTHER SUITE OPTIONS AVAILABLE ON MARDI GRAS

CLOUD 9 SPA SUITE

A Cloud 9 Spa Suite is the ultimate in spa-style accommodations. This is more than a large room with a unique, soothing décor… but there’s also plenty of convenience here, like the vanity featuring an illuminated mirror. Oh, and those aren’t the only upgrades from other Cloud 9 Spa staterooms — this room has just the large balcony you’d expect.
(Don’t forget: all Cloud 9 Spa staterooms feature exclusive spa perks.)

FAMILY HARBOR OCEAN VIEW SUITE

Let the whole family — especially the little ones — experience the wide-eyed wonder of a great room with an amazing view: a Family Harbor Ocean View Suite stateroom. Not only are the sky, the sea and the sights beautiful to behold from your window, but Family Harbor staterooms feature a unique nautical décor inspired by the craft of seafaring itself. This room sleeps five, by the way, and features a separate bedroom and living room area, with a TV in each.
