As a KZbin content creator I can absolutely appreciate what you guys are doing in your videos. I LOVE that you get to the point and don't add a lot of fluff in your content. SUPER informative to me as we have booked for July 2023 with quite a few friends. I have no problem subbing to you guys and sharing your content to our Mardi Gras vacation fb event page. Keep doing what you do and you will get that silver play button in no time!!! 👊

[@TheTravelScouts]

Hello fellow creator! :D This was the most encouraging comment we have had in a long time so THANK YOU!! It really means a lot and yes, most people have no idea how long it took us to shoot this and produce it! lol You have an amazing channel and I think your content will be super helpful for us because we have always wanted to learn how to rock the BBQ! Gonna start with your steaks vids! 🥩

[@sharkar8]

We are going in August 2024, and we always watch y'all. This was the best tour. Thanks.

[@verafeldman7991]

This was the best video about the ship I have seen. You both did such a great job and wasn't annoying like some that I have seen. Thanks so much - can't wait until we get on the ship.

[@TheTravelScouts]

Thank you so much for the nice comments! We hope you have a amazing cruise! She is such a beautiful ship!

[@nancyrichardson9927]

Glad to see this video! We're cruising on the Mardi Gras in a little over 2 weeks and this was very helpful. I don't think 7 days is going to be enough to see it all.

[@TheTravelScouts]

It's REALLY hard to see everything in 7 days but you can do it! Lol. Glad it was helpful :) Enjoy your cruise. It really is a wonderful ship!

[@sabrinaellis8434]

I will be Cruising in the Mardi Gras in 3 weeks you guys were the BEST yet and I have watched a few.

[@TheTravelScouts]

Hi Sabrina! Ah, thank you so much! We love the Mardi Gras! Hope you have the best cruise ever!

[@sabrinaellis8434]

This was one of the BEST tours I have seen yet Thanks for making it fun and exciting

[@TheTravelScouts]

Thanks Sabrina! We appreciate you kind words!

[@jenellwhitrack4085]

I appreciate the full tour of the ship. This is a need to know before you cruise. Help me decide what I want to do when I’m on the ship. Thank you very much!!!

I’m going on the Mardi Gras in May. I’ve seen quite a few videos of the ship but yours was the best. I learned a lot of little things that I didn’t know before. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work👍😎🛳

[@TheTravelScouts]

Hi Antonio! Thank you so much for the encouraging words! Really means a lot to us! Hope your cruise is the best ever!

Best video yet of Mardi Gras! Thank you! Cannot wait fir our Thanksgiving 2022 cruise on the ship!

[@TheTravelScouts]

Thank you so much! That means a lot! Please share with others that may benefit from the video :)

[@jonathonb.1906]

This is one of the best cruise ship tour videos that we have seen. We really enjoyed the tour, and the bits of humor spread throughout. We loved that you included things that we would never have considered without watching this video, such as checking out the ceilings. We laughed when you talked about the privacy issues for the hot tubs lol. This video really has us more excited for our upcoming Sailabration cruise next week! Thank you so much for the great, thoughtful, and lighthearted content. Very refreshing & helpful. We really hope that the friends we meet on our upcoming cruise have the same positive attitude that you both do! Excellent video!

[@TheTravelScouts]

Hi Jonathon! Thank you so much! We really appreciate these comments as they are SOOO encouraging! I know you are having a wonderful time right now on your Sailabration cruise!

[@JackThelRipper]

Me and my wife are aboard the Carnival Horizon right now and Guys Burger Joint is the best I’ve had so far for food!!

[@TheTravelScouts]

Hi Friend! That is awesome! You two enjoy your cruise!

[@lauramiller7994]

I've been on the Mardi Gras twice now. There are things I really like, and things that I DO NOT. I do like having more eating venues. Although there are still long lines at the coffee shop, I found there are a couple other options to get a Latte. That's nice. I like that the bathrooms have auto nightlights, and so do the closets. I do like that there are more USB and electrical outlets in the rooms. Especially nice is the USB outlets on each side of the bed. That is about all I can think of that is better on this ship than say "the Vista class ship". Now for the things I don't like. The walking track is much narrower, which does not allow for slow walkers and actual joggers to get along well together. There isn't a library on this ship. There aren't any lights on the balconies, so, if you like to sit out at night on your balcony, you will have to do so in the dark. The rooms are much smaller. Although the glass door shower is nice, in order to do that, the rest of the bathroom is much smaller with less 'good space" to put your toiletries. On the Vista class, there are 3 shelves on each side of the mirror. My husband would take one side, and I would take the other. On the Mardi Gras, there is only one set of shelves. There aren't any computers or printer on the ship. I guess for us "old school" people who like to print out our boarding pass .... those days are gone. No, the service people will not do it for you. In the buffet area, the plates are smaller, so, a person has to go back and forth to their table to get different items. On the Vista class ships, the plates are more like trays. I can put my salad bowl on the tray along with other food items. The gift shops are not all together, and they are pretty much "all high end" shops. The Havana area is not such a big deal on the Mardi Gras. The special area is smaller. There isn't any hot tubs, and just one small cold pool. Let's face it, when it comes to cold pools, only children can handle those, and the people in the Havana area are mostly adults. Would I sail on the Mardi Gras again .... Maybe. For now, I'm going back to the Vista class size.

[@TheTravelScouts]

Hi Laura. I think these are all great observations. That walking/jogging track is REALLY small for sure! I actually never noticed the buffet plates but that has sparked my curiosity and now I am going to have to go back and look at old footage to compare plates! lol. And yes, the Havana area is not even comparable to the Vista class! Night and day difference! But I did like the serenity area better on Mardi Gras. Thanks for all the great info you added!

[@ElloImNoodle]

I would prefer the dream class over vista but specifically magic or breeze dream probably has the most changes in one class dream the simplest magic first ship with sky course and all that stuff except the basketball court on the spirit breeze has the movie theater

[@lauramiller7994]

@@ElloImNoodle The dream class of Carnival ships is also a good size ship. I have been on smaller ships than the dream class, but prefer the dream class and larger. Although the smaller ones are more ornate in the decor or the ships, I like having the extras floor to roam (on the dream class, that would be the 5th floor).

[@kathyknowles615]

Well informative Marcus Gras cruise ship tour. I am looking forward to a family cruise in November, 2024

[@CLTV-Greg]

As always another fantastic post! Mardigras is amazing - street eats is off the chain... Information with comedy, love the silliness ❤. Great job you two, looking forward to your next.

[@TheTravelScouts]

Hi Greg! Thank you so much!!! We definitely had to get the goofiness out from time to time! 🤪

[@haroldanderson7327]

Excellent Video, if all goes well I will be on the Mardi Gras March 5th for Carnival’s 50th Birthday Sailabration, With all of the multiple places to eat, I may never make it to the dining room. I will definitely need to bring the pants with the elastic waistbands. 😹 I love the fact that there are multiple bars around the ship to get something to drink, and lots of places to listen to musical acts, and lots and lots of places to stretch out and relax both inside and outside. I can see myself having a hard time deciding what to do and where to go every night. I’m glad I booked an inside cabin, because I don’t see me spending much time in there. Thanks for putting together this comprehensive tour of the Mardi Gras. 😺

[@travelorbust]

Mardi Gras is such a great ship. We are so excited about going on the celebration in november!

[@TheTravelScouts]

She really is! Looking forward to your Celebration content!

This is so very helpful! Going on a Mardi Gras cruise in March 2022 and wondered how we'd ever figure out how to find things. Your videos are so fun and informative! Love you both! Keep it up.

[@TheTravelScouts]

Thank you so much Mary Jo :) You will love this ship! So many things to see and do!! (Don't forget to bring good walking shoes! lol)

What a wonderful ship tour!! You guys are so funny! Love your style!! 😍 It was so nice to see the ship again. We never used the hot tubs…. thankfully!! 😂

[@TheTravelScouts]

Hi Friends!! Thank you so much! Appreciate you two!

[@justuniversalthings13]

Great video y’all! My wife and I will be back on the Mardi Gras in September and your video is helping us get excited! The oysters at the seafood shack were excellent!

[@TheDeloutre]

We loved Street eats, but didn't go to time fries (just the other two). BTW...we LOVE oysters, grilled, raw, fried, in Gumbo!! :)

[@TheTravelScouts]

Ok- I will maybe have to try grilled oysters :) ~Kellie

[@TheDeloutre]

@@TheTravelScouts They are soo good, and the grilled oysters are my preference, but husband and kids prefer raw oysters...LOL!

[@TheTravelScouts]

@@TheDeloutre I just can't do raw! Lol. But I will try the grilled! :D

[@fsosagaston]

Excellent video!!

[@TheTravelScouts]

Thank you :)

[@Johnthephoneguy]

We loved the Mardi Gras. I do miss the Blue Iguana tequila bar. You may want to mention that the doors use the weird touch button in the middle of the slide doors. Never got it to work by waving you have to touch it.

[@TheTravelScouts]

It was about 50/50 for us. lol

[@doodiehutchison4463]

Looks fabulous! Hope to find a bargain on the Mardi Gras maybe next year. We have never been on a ship that large before, so that will be a new experience for us! Great video as usual. I feel like I almost know my way around it!

[@TheTravelScouts]

Hello Doodie! Glad you know the ship better now! It was definitely the largest we have ever been on as well! It was confusing at first, but you get the hang of it! :D

[@TheDeloutre]

We LOVED ChiBang...and once while we were there the dragon came through (it was around 8 PM). They also had my favorite cocktail, The Red Dragon!! We received a card from Carnival for a free drink package, so we are planning to use it for the Mardi Gras again! :)

[@TheTravelScouts]

Oh wow! They actually have a dragon that comes through? Interesting!!!

[@TheDeloutre]

@@TheTravelScouts It was really cool!! If you go back on, they can probably tell you when this happens (we loved it!!). We are looking at booking in January of next year, so I asked when the free option was over and they said you have to pay for ChiBang now but we will definitely go back.

[@TheTravelScouts]

@@TheDeloutre Oh, that's also good to know that they are now charging for ChiBang

[@phillipayoung10]

Jason Kellie thank you thank you for the tour!! I know now what to look towards to for Dec'22/Jan'23. The Cloud 9 Spa (for the darlin lovely wife), Camp Ocean (for the 11y.o.) the Resturants and our suite!!😁 Finally to CCL, you let these 2 run amok ALL over the ship?😁😁 By themselves? 😂😂Did they take the scooter? Is the candy shop still there? 😂😂 And laying down on the job? Lord have Mercy!! The 2 of you!!! Glad you had fun!! Be safe out there!!😁😁

[@TheTravelScouts]

Lol Phillip! So glad you liked the tour! Don't worry- the scooter is still there. We may or may not have put a dent in the candy 😎🍭🍬Lol. Some of the staff did probably think we were slightly crazy- they just looked at us and smiled (silently thinking to themselves- those two are NUTS)

[@debwright4655]

No seafood shack for me lol but I do love Shaq's I love your tour just as much the second time as I did the first one I thought the Palm restaurant was the assigned dining and the Flamingo was the anytime.

[@TheTravelScouts]

You are actually correct on the restaurants. We realized it after we made the video! Lol

[@jellokids]

Great video! Did you do any of the excursions? If so, which ones and did you enjoy them?

[@TheTravelScouts]

Hi Sandi! Thanks so much! We went to Blue Lagoon in Nassau. You can watch that video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kF68lHeAr9manZI In Amber Cove, we hung out at the pool area. You can watch that video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6Smcnehrt9rea8 In San Juan, we just walked around. That video hasn't been released yet. Lol

Do you two feel spoiled by the XL class ships? We sure do. I love oysters but only raw. Street eats was amazing. I get on Vista in 32 days and I am actually worried about it. Love, love love the XL class ships.

[@TheTravelScouts]

DEFINITELY! Lol

[@tmalin681]

Question. I know the pharmacies can do Covid testing but I’m concerned the results won’t be back in time. I have a cruise scheduled for late March from Port Canaveral. Any suggestions where to get the test in a timely manner?

[@TheDeloutre]

We took our 1st cruise ever on the Mardi Gras, and it was super easy (I was nervous too...LOL). We ordered the Abbott at home test (you download the Navica app to your phone and they watch and instruct you on taking it (it was super easy)! We ordered extra...just in case (my friend got one with no solution..glad she had extra). Make sure it is the RX one though.

[@TheTravelScouts]

Here is a link to order the home test. You have to pay for it but at least you have the peace of mind. store.optum.com/shop/products/abbott-binaxNOW-COVID-19-ag-at-home-test-kit-2-pack/?fbclid=IwAR3XswC3zciA5zJBX6VidOy_qnB9LoOcFzQwRMSCyPz6Em3FzHVakQHtM-Y
