In 2020 Carnival Cruise Lines will be launching a brand-new ship with a familiar name. The  Mardi Gras, which was also the name of Carnival’s very first ship launched back in 1972.  The Mardi Gras is all about innovation and fun.   To start with, it will be the greenest cruise ship in North America and the first to be powered by clean-burning liquefied natural gas (or “LNG”).  It will also include innovative entertainment features, like being the first ship ever with an onboard rollercoaster: BOLT.   That’s right….A rollercoaster…More exciting news coming soon on other features the ship will include.  Port Canaveral will be the Mardi Gras homeport as she makes her inaugural sailing in 2020.

 

Carnival Panorama’s announces SkyZone will take the place of the IMAX theater found on sister ships Carnival Vista and Carnival Horizon.

SkyZone will cover over 3,000 square feet on Decks 6 and 7, and will feature a 12 lane trampoline court as well as a recreational area with a climbing wall, balance and jousting beam, Sky Ladder climbing apparatus and Tug of War.   All features that are found in select land based SkyZone facilities.

In addition to the trampoline park features, the space will offer fitness classes for all levels, special activities for families with little ones, as well as dodgeball and basketball games. At night, the park will offer blacklight glow parties.

Carnival Panorama will make her debut on December 11, 2019, with a 3 day sailing from Long Beach to Ensenada and back, before starting her 7 day itineraries to the Mexican Riviera. The Panorama will offer many of the same attractions found across the Vista class ships, as well as its own unique features.

The trampoline park will be a first for Carnival and will be a great family friendly experience.

Carnival Cruise Line has taken a firm stance in updating their smoking policy. As of December 1, 2019, if you smoke in your stateroom or on your balcony, you, as well as everyone in your stateroom may be disembarked at the next stop.

Most cruise lines have some hefty fees charged to their guests if caught smoking in their stateroom or on their balcony. Now Carnival has taken it further and is planning to enforce a much stricter policy which not only effects the guest smoking but potentially everyone sailing in their stateroom.

There will still be designated smoking areas on the ships for those wishing to smoke. Continue reading “CARNIVAL CHANGES SMOKING POLICY”
