Hey guys going on this ship in October. Question-did they have hand sanitizer dispensers around ship? Didn’t see a single one on the tour of the ship.

[@iampeaman]

Did they respond to this?

[@chevlife3311]

Nobody does it better than Ben and David!! Professional reviews. Expert opinions of each ship.

[@Cruisewith]

Thanks so much!

[@briannao3967]

@@Cruisewith ​ hi ben and david i love your videos i love watching all your videos and how you give advice to cruiser too i love watching your tour of the ships i wanna meet u you guys so badly on a cruise💚

[@midwestkatie4]

We dropped Carnival after a couple of so-so cruises. You have sold me on trying Carnival again if we can go on the Mardi Gras. Thanks for a beautiful video. Love you lads.

[@Lovee6394]

Finally get to see your perspective of Carnival. So excited!

[@CreamyJalapeno]

We sailed her in June 2022. We loved her! She is our favorite ship yet. I’m so glad you guys are finally giving Carnival a try. Mardi Gras had so many comedy shows including PG offerings. Our 12 year old son enjoyed being able to see some comedy with us.

[@tangotango5485]

Such professional filming and audio. I’m blown away! Love these guys and their humor!

[@maryanncapece2623]

This ship looks so different from all the other Carnival ships. It's very bright and I really like the decor. Thanks for taking us along.

[@doubled0896]

I agree. Not a big carnival fan, but this ship looks very nice.

[@annamariadenner2518]

Carnival is my favorite, all the newer ships look great but since I’ve been on the newer as well as the older ships they are still just as much fun. The Breeze is my favorite so far.

[@Donszee]

I hit the like button before I even watch the video because they're always great.😀🚢

[@Cruisewith]

Thanks so much!

[@michellewilson6137]

Beautiful ship tour and kudos for picking the perfect background music for each area. I primarily only sail on Carnival, thank you for giving Carnival a try. Looking forward to the rest of your videos and reviews.

[@tallprincessTiff]

Wow! This video was so well done and I’m sure took hours and hours. I loved the music, I loved the videography. I almost never leave comments after watching videos but this was so well done. Amazing.

[@Cruisewith]

Thank you so much!!

[@annawaywego370]

Awesome video. I was so excited meeting you guys on the ship. Was waiting for this video.

[@brendascroggins5200]

I hope you guys consider the carnival Jubilee in December 2023….. I can’t wait to see that new ship. I will take my first cruise in October 2024 on the Carnival Jubilee for our 35th high school reunion. We have a group of 40+ going. If my favorite cruise guys did a tour of it I would be in heaven!!!

[@FrancoisD551]

Ben. As usual the videography is excellent. The images are flowing smoothly and you have a gift at selecting the musical melodies that are so à propos with each theme and venue. Just wonderful.

[@dwightcoleman4288]

Good Job, me and the wife are going to spend are summers cruising! We're only doing the best carnival ships ! Your videos help tremendously, Madri Gras this Xmas 2022 ( yes, yes ,yes )

[@peterjackson933]

I really enjoy your videos me and my wife are yet to go on a cruise so your videos are helping us pick the right one.

[@kpap3132]

Haven't peaked the full video yet and will update with my excitement but I had to instantly click to see my favorite guys do this tour. I'm boarding the mardi gras in January and I just paid for the monkey village excursion :) I'm so excited, I am a thrillllll seeker! I love that adrenaline rush from roller coasters so this out of them all is my ship I gotta be on!! Can't wait to watch the rest of the video and update with my thoughts. Love you guys. 💚

[@CreamyJalapeno]

We saw the monkeys in June. Are you also doing 27 waterfalls?

[@abbylea2359]

Loved cruising on the Mardi Gras last Halloween!

[@louisewhite9152]

Hi Ben and David ~ sorry I haven’t Been commenting lately ~ I’ve left hospital and now in a rehabilitation centre learning to walk again and to build the muscles up in my arms as there not working properly at the moment ~ I absolutely totally and utterly love your vlogs/videos ~ they always make me smile and make me feel better~ Sending love and hugs as always ~ Xxx Xxx

[@marjielalonde3875]

I hope you have a speedy and thorough recovery.

[@Cruisewith]

We hope your recovery is really quick, wishing you all the best!

[@thomasalexander8499]

Fantastic, 4 of us go on 4/29 and you have opened a lot of doors for us all!

[@Ladychelle95]

This is the best video for the Mardi Gras. I go this summer and looking forward in trying some of the food, clubs, swimming and so much more. Thank you!

[@matt24ishere69]

best tour I have seen of any ship .

[@AnthonyWilliams-dc5ez]

As always, you guys are the best! Just from watching this tour, we just booked on Mardi Gras November 2023! The cruise lines should compensate you for all your hard work! Keep em’ coming guys!❤️👍🏼

[@ellenmccurry4157]

We will be there on the 11th. Are we sailing together 😊

[@jcl8086]

Just booked… can’t wait to sail on a RC caliber ship with the entertainment and ambiance of Carnival.

[@Tr3y629]

Been waiting for this

[@laurenpigott885]

Great video... we are Carnival people and cruising Mardi Gras in December. I chuckled with your buffet comment. I have no doubt that it is quite different than some of the foods you have shown on recent videos. 😂

[@kathymills1959]

Cruised on Mardi Gras in Sept 2021 and loved her!! Thanks for the great ship tour and great walk down memory lane!!

[@Cruisewith]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@stevesnellgrove1518]

My wife and I and two good friends are getting on this Fabulous ship for a 7 day cruise out of port canaveral in April.. Can’t wait !!!… great job guy !

[@RichardCarlson-dh5uz]

This was the most beautiful ship on the carnival and I enjoyed going on the roller coaster at sea it was amazing views and I can’t wait to go back on the carnival Mardi Gras

[@deborahbolton3417]

Thanks for sharing this the ship looks soo beautiful! 🥰👍🏼🛳⚓️

[@Jazziegrylbk]

So glad and excited for this cruise series. I'm a carnival girl, we get a bad rap but I've never had a negative experience. Good ppl , crew & food

[@lisarivera2447]

Have you been on carnival freedom? And how was it?

[@Jazziegrylbk]

@@lisarivera2447 not the freedom I've done other older ships such as the Liberty. Every cruise the ppl ans staff r amazing. There's always something 4 everyone to do.

[@randyyoung1316]

Wow, such a well-done videos guys! I've watched a LOT of videos of Mardi Gras and none of them capture the experience of walking through the ship like you have managed to. It's not just a laundry list of locations but really captures the feeling of being onboard. Love it!

[@darploin5071]

They vastly improved their interiors from what they had in the '80s and '90s oh my God it's just so much better

[@carolerice5944]

Your reviews are so professional, so unlike a lot I see on YT. Carnival has upped their game with this ship and two more similar ships coming out. It’s nice to see something different from Carnival. We are going on this ship mid November. I was getting tired of Carnival and we have a Celebrity cruise booked for Feb but we couldn’t pass up the great deal we got.

[@cydneystephen2814]

Hey Ben and David. Happy Labor Day weekend. Although believe it’s not a British holiday 😂. Will watch and enjoy. You know I cannot comment on a walkthrough as it would be ridiculously long. Enjoy your Sunday, have a great week and see you next video.

[@fofita17]

Thanks for a fantastic ship tour. What I enjoyed most was you showing us walking between each place…. Let’s you feel fully immersed as if you’re actually walking the ship yourself. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@palaemon]

You guys did such a great job with this. You basically sold me on trying Carnival for the 1st time. I mean ALL those quick dining venues alone. Wow.

[@LoriKrazy61]

That ship is a wow! So beautiful and also it is a huge!! A lot to see everything!

[@men.276]

What a beautiful ship! To be honest I'm more impressed by this ship then I am the RCL ships.

[@Radmxray]

Just got off this ship. The RC oasis class boats are way nicer. IMO. This was just ok to me. Nothing spectacular.

[@mindibunch5232]

Another beautifully shot video, guys. Well done.

[@EpicFilmTime1]

Finally! I was waiting for you two to start traveling with Carnival 🎡

[@Cruisewith]

Vlogs coming next week :-)

[@kimberly9937]

Hi boys! I look forward to your new videos every Sunday! (I subscribed to your KZbin site a few weeks ago, and continue to enjoy watching the videos!). Have a glorious week!! (Kimberly Holt - fan in the USA).

[@Jadooooo13]

That’s a beautiful ship😁

[@jasonbroadbelt]

Great quality video! You guys are such pros with the tour videos. We sailed on that ship when it first came out..while we aren't carnival people (prefer Royal), we had an absolute blast on that ship! Such a nice ship. They did a great job with that ship. We loved the French quarter section but our favorite part was the pig and anchor bar! They had the best cover band and we had so much fun with the bartenders there every night.

[@Susankerchner125]

Great to hear that you enjoyed sailing on Mardi Gras. We have been loyal to Royal since returning to cruising and love the Oasis & Quantum class ships. Looking forward to sailing on Mardi Gras in November & Celebration next year.

[@jasonbroadbelt]

@@Susankerchner125 carnival definitely tried to replicate the whole different neighborhoods on the Mardi gras. So it feels like a royal ship. You will enjoy it. The clientale is a little more rowdy/party crowd than royal but it was fine (i assume because the Mardi gras isn't cheap!). Have fun!!

[@toneka4348]

Please more tours like this!!!! One of the best if not the best tour yet!! Will you guys be going on the Celebration?

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Fantastic footage & tour of the Mardi Gras Ben & David ❤️ Looks a magnificent ship both inside & outside . Thank you so much for showing us around , i am sure you had a Blast on this cruise 😅 . Have a Great week 🥰

[@luvtravel6207]

As always a wonderful ship tour 🛳🛳love you guys

[@vereneedy1430]

Great job! Carnival has upped their game.

[@CruiseBear]

Just love you both and your style and sensibilities. Half my 30 cruises have been on carnival and I love them even the older fantasy class ships when Joe Farcus was designing them with Las Vegas flair and lots of neon. They are definitely Fun Ships. You spent a lot of time editing this excellent video. I will be going on my first cruise since the pandemic in one week and my last cruise was on third sailing of brand new Carnival Panorama in January 2020. Best to both of you and I’ll view more of your past videos on Wish.

[@stevekirk2971]

We will be on this ship in 40 days!

[@happytree920]

Loved the video! Just booked Mardi Gras for January 2026. Super excited!

[@ChrisandBeth]

Ben your videos are amazing. You are so talented!

[@Cruisewith]

Thanks so much!

[@jinimcclelland]

We have been on the Vista (loved it) and wondered if we should bother with the Mardi Gras…YES we should! Thank you for this tour! It sails out of Port Canaveral some, closer to us!

[@Thethinker6141]

I've been on a lot of cruise lines and I have to say carnival is the most fun. It just has a better atmosphere And the entertainment is so much better

[@tominator3]

Stop making such great videos! I'm trying to work, but I can't help but procrastinate and watch

[@HF-tj8db]

Wow this is an intriguing ship! Thanks for another fantastic video!

[@BellasDogDad]

I love your videos! My partner and I watch them every other day lol This was a bit different from the others. We were waiting to see your faces and commentaries about the ship and food. Either way we appreciate it all. ☺️☺️

[@Cruisewith]

Stay tuned next week for vlogs form the ship!

[@jen93106]

Wow! When they opened the windows in that clip (as you were saying you thought they should open them more), it truly was spectacular! If they showcased those kinds of features more, I think they’d b luring a whole other crowd along with the loyal cruisers they already have!

[@JohnnyFuturePast]

Hi Guys!!!! Good to see you again-I was so busy but great to be back! Terrific tour! Though I’m not really a Carnival guy I would definitely enjoy these new ships! Fantastic areas-I know where I would mostly be! French Quarter, Havana area, Serenity and that fun top Deck! Love the colors and decor-so different for Carnival-Well Done!

[@WestCoastCultured]

Great tour! Just got off the Panorama and did the Miracle in May. Mardi Gras would be the only cruise that I would consider cruising with Carnival again. Both time’s I’ve cruised with them I’ve had a sub par time and the crowds have been horrendous. For the newer ships, the facilities, service, and food are adequate but there are so many better cruise lines out there without the trashy herd. LOL

[@DiaryofaBasicBW]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this walk through. It is crisp! I'm going on the Mardi Gras next year. Can't wait! Out of curiosity, where are you hearing that some of the included dining might turn into specialty extras? Trying to do my research! Although if this does happen, hopefully it'll be in the news before my sail date.

[@magnoliabelle047]

Enjoyed the walk through 👍🏼 Glad you’re enjoying your Carnival cruise 🛳❤️🛳

[@abbylea2359]

Chi Bang is a phenomenal restaurant.

while your tours are great, i find i miss the absolutely delightful reparte the 2of you have...i love your food videos for that reason...awesome job...

[@ronfischer191]

Great ship great decor and the best ship reviews as always from B&D. If I hadn't just watched the NCL Prima review I would have said this was the best ship, but NCL set a new bar that just blew the competition away.

[@nancycruiser3391]

Love the walk through. You guys do a great job every time. I wanted to let you know that Emeril’s is a New Orleans creole restaurant. We did I a back to back on that ship. It was a lot of fun. So much to do. Can wait to see your other videos on the ship!

[@Cruisewith]

That is awesome!

[@erikswanson7924]

Awesome video! Looking forward to sailing on the Mardi Gras in about 17 days.

[@Cruisewith]

Have fun!

[@theprolixramblr4307]

this seriously looks just like something I would see on "how it's made" or something. fantastic!

[@suzzetteallen2965]

This ship looks fabulous… I love your ship tours and ( sadly I know!) get genuinely excited when I see ship tour in the box!, That candy shop needed more investigation… I wish I could go on these bigger livelier ships… Do they sail ever from Southampton..we’re not brave enough to fly/ cruise….. Wish you’d include the cabin in the tour as well…. I so want to cruise again but with everything going up,I doubt we will any time soon.. Your videos are priceless….thanks so much for doing them 👍🇬🇧

Excellent tour!

[@Tatyana_2373]

Thank you I love the Mardi gras I was on it on April this year

[@lauraevans3709]

I love your tours. I have only been on Holland America Line. Looks like Norwegian is too nickel and dime for anything. RCCL doesn’t have enough places to enjoy the ocean. Is Carnival a good line for food, dance classes, cooking classes, shows, dancing and balcony rooms? Or the new Celebrity line. Do they have ANY cabins with a regular balcony? Your Voice Over is perfect. And so insightful.

[@Midwest..]

Been to 2 RC Independence of Seas, Allure, book Oasis, Wonder and Mardi Gras will be next 👌

[@johnsinclair2231]

Hi guys you really excelled with this one. Ye must have done a lot of research or spent a longtime editing. I sold going to check it out now thanks again.🥰🥰👍

I really like the looks of and offerings on this Carnival ship. Very impressed. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts about it.

[@AugustoLugo1983]

Another great video.

[@darploin5071]

I'm actually liking the interiors of this carnival Cruise ship usually you're attacked by the interiors of a carnival cruise ship but this one is just so nice I think it's all the rich creams and mauve and beiges and I think that really helps when you have so many other bright colors around you in the interiors it just tones it down so it's not hard on the eyes

[@renise011]

We're in the early stages of planning a group cruise. We've been looking at doing an Oasis ship on RC but between your videos and the Melanin at Sea group videos I think we'll look into the Mardi Gras as well. Great tour! Thank you 😊

[@Midwest..]

We book Oasis, Wonder of Seas and Mardi Gras will be next

[@vacationmode6286]

Thanks for the video!! Looking forward to the Ben and David wants to see what you like on the 🚢. Seems like a fun ship! We are doing our first cruise in October on the Bliss! It was suppose to be in September on Princess for our first but they don’t have enough workers currently 😢

The ship is pretty nice. Went on it a month ago. ALOT of walking i can tell you. The palm restaurant was the go to for dinner. Limelight was the night club spot for sure!
