Mardi Gras™ Ship Overview

Camp Ocean

The little ones can enjoy the best parts of summer camp, year-round aboard their Carnival cruise. At Camp Ocean kids will have a blast in supervised, age-based groups and give each a cool marine-life label: Penguins (2 to 5 years), Stingrays (6 to 8 years) and Sharks (9 to 11 years).

Dr. Seuss Bookville

Let’s use the imaginations just think what would happen if we took a normal library and put it through one of Dr. Seuss’s wacky contraptions set to maximum fun, of course. It would probably come out looking much like Dr. Seuss Bookville, which as you can imagine, is exclusively aboard Carnival! The room is all decked out in bright colors, featuring fun and whimsical furniture and even has some of your all-time favorite Dr. Seuss characters on the walls. But let’s not forget that this space is all about the books the shelves are filled to the brim for hours of fun reading.

Seuss-a-Palooza Story Time

Experience Dr. Seuss books like never before at Seuss-a-palooza Story Time. Watch as your favorite stories come to life in a setting that’s as one-of-a-kind as the Dr. Seuss classics themselves. But don’t just take this one sitting down as an audience member at Seuss-a-palooza Story Time you’ll find chances to interact as the story unfolds and perhaps even become a part of the story, yourself! Also, be sure to keep an eye open for unexpected, delightfully costumed guests who may very well be stopping by to make a special appearance.

Club O2

Hang out doing stuff like watching movies, listening to music from this decade, playing sports and video games, joining karaoke jam sessions maybe even attending Carnival’s version of prom, all with other high schoolers ages 15 to 17.

Family Feud Live

Family Feud set, right down to the iconic Face-Off podium, plus all the excitement of Fast Money. Since we know how much entertainment the host can bring to the game, Family Feud Live is emceed by none other than your cruise director. So if you’re game, sign up your team of five for an audition.

Seuss at Sea

From the whimsical and always wonderful world of Dr. Seuss comes Cats in Hats, Fish Red and Blue, and both kinds of Things 1 and 2. And they’re all coming to a Carnival cruise near you as the world of Dr. Seuss leaps off the page and onto Seuss at Sea.

Build A Bear Workshop At Sea

A Carnival cruise gives kids plenty of chances to make new friends, but never before quite like this. When kids visit the Build-A-Bear Workshop at Sea, they use their small hands and big creativity to bring a new stuffed friend to life.

Night Owls

Think back as a kid, was there anything better than times you got to stay up late? Even as an adult, nighttime is funtime, especially with all there is to do on your Carnival cruise. Carnival have the perfect thing for you AND for your kids, and it’s called “Night Owls”! For a nominal fee, kids 11 and under can fun it up with others their age until as late as 1 a.m. 

Seuss-a-Palooza Parade

Stand up and cheer for the Seuss-a-palooza Parade, now streaming down the deck of select Carnival ships. Join characters you love and a flock of your fellow fun followers as you become part of the spirited procession of the biggest (and smallest) fans on this side of shore. This parade spreads the fun, so go spread the news and to think that you’ll do it on your Carnival cruise!

Circle C

It’s the onboard spot where teens ages 12 to 14 go to hang out, meet new friends, and enjoy some pretty awesome activities. Like what? Think dance parties, games, outdoor movies and more, some in the exclusive Circle “C” lounge and others around the ship.

Zumbini

Cruises are great for relaxing unless you’re a kid! Since kids have virtually unlimited energy and you know they definitely bring it with them on vacation your Carnival cruise will get your kids moving and developing with Zumbini, created by Zumba & BabyFirst. On every sailing, kids 2–5 years old will enjoy a free 30-minute Zumbini class that brings together the same musical fun that families love on land.
