I started listening and thought "her voice sounds really familiar." Then I realized that I've been binging your Amtrak travel videos these past couple of weeks. You two give my favorite travel tours.

[@sonyah5081]

I kept looking at her thinking she’s familiar. Lol, yes the train vlogs.

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Thanks so much, we really appreciate it!

[@gemle525]

I just realized who she was. It's the couple that convinced me to make some train trips.

[@andrewleeadkins93]

On the thermostat, you can hit the “quick cool” button which will leave the fan and AC running the whole time. It’s the little snowflake button on the bottom

[@giannacaggiano7239]

Even when u take out ur card?

[@pamelahsmithsmith2366]

I went on the first Mardi Gras the summer of 1972 and our cabin was not yet wired to be used in the U.S. They provided a public room so we could use our hair blowers and electic curlers. So enjoy any new cabin, but back in 72, we still had"FUN".hope to go on the new one some day!

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Awesome story, thanks for sharing it!

[@mrscruisequite07phalo42]

Thank you both for the wonderful presentation of the room. No one has ever been this through. I love to bring my movies with me on a seven day cruise when I just want to chill, so you helped me out. By the Grace of God I will be on her in September 2022. No I never put my suitcase on the bed, I use packing cubes very easy to unpack.

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Have a great trip! Thank you

Thank you - this was a very well done and informative room tour! We'll be on her in a few weeks and I'm going to soak in all of the tips from the vlogs you inaugural cruisers will be putting out. Enjoy your cruise!

I’m going July 2nd 2022 with my fam and friends

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Thanks, enjoy yours as well!

[@heidewebster6974]

This was a great stateroom tour - probably the best I've seen! I like how thorough you were with describing everything! We are booked on the Mardi Gras for next summer & we cannot wait! I am oddly excited about the foot bar in the shower!

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Thanks so much for the kind comment! The bathroom is great!

Thanks for showing the outlets

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

No problem 👍, they are very important!

[@Kmkirkland2010]

Good review but the point of not having all the "TV comfy access buttons" is because you're supposed to be enjoying all the activities on this amazing Ship (which we love) and all the ocean beauty to look at... you can do TV stuff at home! lol

[@TimeisReel]

I'm glad Carnival stepped there game up. That is a really nice room. No more Shower Curtain. And I'm glad they are Painting all there Ships with that Nice Blue... Good Review And thank for the TV Tip...

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Thanks! The shower door is really nice

[@717dash_cam]

Keep in mind, this is an upgraded stateroom. The rest of the rooms may or may not have that, just like the lower classification rooms aren't going to have the Elemis spa product in them. That's one of the things about the Cloud 9 Spa rooms, among having access to the thermal suite included.

[@TimeisReel]

@@717dash_cam No they upgraded all the rooms from the last class of Ship

[@arosca10]

The fridge is great! Especially for pumping mamas!

[@marvinmorris3762]

This is very nice, thanx to show this please show main kitchen with to all outlets and main galley... Thank you

[@johnhawkins9747]

Excellent cabin tour! I will be onboard in five days. I just found your channel and immediately subscribed. By the way, carnival forbids plugging anything into the TV, but I won't tell anyone. :)

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Awesome! Thank you! and have fun on your cruise!

[@christinegentry5051]

Thanks for tour. Cabins haven't changed much to other ships. I'll be sailing soon.

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Enjoy your trip!

[@dieselmbg]

Great Tour! Thank you!

[@chanyanyanya]

That storage ottoman’s top flips over and converts into a food tray

[@deborahcox9387]

Love the new state rooms no big table between the couch and the vanity area, also like the extra outlets. However my husband travels with a sleep apnea machine and ha int all the outlets that car from the bed is can be dangerous. The order is not long enough to rea h the bed and even if it did the bulk of his machine would be in the middle of the floor. I don't understand why one outlet cant be right by the bed. I am sure that there are other passengers with medical conditions or needs that would benefit from an outlet right by the bed. I love. Cruising and look forward to be able to cruise again, enjoy your cruise!!!

[@717dash_cam]

Most CPAPs can work on 110 and 220, and any lines/ships/rooms with standard nightstands with table lamps usually have 220s behind them. I've unplugged one and used that as a way to have it plugged in... But this ship I would bet doesn't have plugs behind or under the bed. You COULD bring a really long extension cord or ask for one and some duct tape.. but this is something they really should think about. They've finally brought in USB charging, though I wouldn't use them because they're going to be standard slow charging ones and I just don't trust public type usb charging. Panorama has regular night stands, or at least did in my interior room.

[@margaretgreen9204]

Still no outlets near the bed. I use a CPAP machine for sleep apnea, so I have to get the room steward to run an extension cord across the room, usually tapped up across the ceiling. Some other cruise lines do have plugs near the bed.

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Correct, a CPAP would be difficult in this room

[@limeyosu2000]

best thing carnival done was.... get rid of the balcony doors that slam! the sliding doors are so much quieter!

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

These are very quiet and air tight, you can't hear outside at all

[@pjcrystal518]

I think if you flip the lid to the ottoman the opposite way it doubles as a tray.

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Yes, it does!

[@davidshonk9556]

Great job. Very informative.

[@ronachten2902]

You hooked me with the "Stories" preview. I had to see the balcony. You two are good at what you do.🤣

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Thanks so much!

[@TheDanniExperience]

Do you get to keep the sliders and robe?

[@thecruisingmacs6239]

Nice!!!!

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Thanks!

[@judithjohnson7962]

Mardi Gras is a beautiful ship, too big for me. I like a smaller ship, but may cruise on her just because. Have a great time, will be waiting for more vlogs.

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Thanks, it is big, that is for sure!

[@bkg8r978]

What deck are y’all located on? That view looked like you were at the top of a building!

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

We were very high up, it was deck 17.

[@johngreer6943]

Is there a door to the Lido on this deck? I will be in room 17285 in 2023 and my group is trying to see if there is a door to the Lido just down the hall from our rooms.

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

There isn't a way outside, you need to go down to 16 by elevator or stairs.

[@ronniesims-farrie4131]

Beautiful Cabin I love Balcony Cabins and that is a Beautiful Cabin Thank you for the tour no I don't put my suitcase on the bed Have a Great Cruise 🚢

[@dawnlathrop4238]

Robert talked about the HDMI port on the TV - please let us know once he tries it, I'm interested to know if it's locked out or not.

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

It is good, I got it hooked up fine. But... a trick is you can't switch to HDMI 2, until you are on a TV channel. If you switch while in the Carnival Menu, it'll go but switch right back. If you are watching a Tv channel and switch it'll stay.

[@paulatenney6494]

I been on carvel cruse a long time too

[@ymangune]

Thanks for the tour guys! We'll be sailing on balcony with my two kids, is that couch good for two coz I really want the bed beside the balcony and it will be our first Carnival cruise. Usually we have the bed beside the bathroom with Royal.

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

I think it would be good, but it depends how old they are

[@DEEZEyezTV]

It was nice meeting you guys in person. Amazing personalities.

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Loved meeting you! Thanks for talking with us and enjoy the rest of the cruise!

[@andrewleeadkins93]

Also the little chair/storage ottoman you can turn the top upside down and that’s your table

[@valeriegriffith3415]

That is a really nice room, one day I'll be on that ship lol

Do the balcony dividers open? I’m booked on deck 16, and good friends are right next door. Great tour!

@@GroundedLifeCruises thanks

[@allisonkemp8593]

What's the menu like for each meal?

[@kaiway02]

They have that sale and sign card holder thing on the Horizon. We just put an old gift card in it to keep the air running while we were out because the cabin could be rather warm when you leave it off. Also, the lights are controlled by it as well. They have like an energy saver when you sleep at night that causes the air to go off for a while. Al in all the cabins do not look too much different than the Horizon.😎🛳

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Yes, they are pretty similar

[@Penny-ts5ec]

Oh thank you so very much for that tip!!

[@rekhae1]

I agree but the items here look “upgraded”

[@auntbelindadrayton2925]

[@marcusmariota8147]

I smoke herb, there was a dog smelling every passengers bag in Jacksonville port but not in tampa or miami. What about this mardi gras in Port canav? Will I have to sweat out trying to sneak me something on? Or pretty lowkey?

Hey, didn't know you did cruise vlogs. I'm subscribed to many. I was on Amtrak to Alexandria VA last week. Great video.

No, we don't!

[@lindataylor4397]

I have been allowed on some ships to bring a power cord or they will supply one at no charge if you ask but ask when you immediately board or they might run out.

[@MisterrJmark]

Great review...straight to the point and easy to understand!! I haven't sailed Carnival in about 4 years...but I just sailed Royal Caribbean twice this year already....I just booked a Carnival Cruise for my wife, my kid and myself next year for Spring Break...on the Carnival Celebration!

Love this cabin! I will be on the Mardi Gras later this month, and I am thinking of upgrading to a spa balcony on deck 17. Did you have any noise from the Serenity pool area on deck 18?

[@BlackPanther-yv7ib]

I KNEW when you were talking I KNEW your Husband was white. I KNEW it! LOL! I could tell by the way you acted and talked.

[@Neachy1979]

Thanks for the tour!!! I’m a cpap user and was wondering if there are any regular plug outlets by the bed. My cord may not stretch to the outlets by the desk (not to mention tripping hazard). If there isn’t one near the bed can you maybe ask the cabin steward if they have extension cords. I’m sailing in October and there are l other cpap-ers in the group that are curious if we need to bring extension cords and how long. Ugh the struggle! Love the video and looking forward to more!!!

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

In our room there is not one near the bed, the closest is on the desk, which is a good 10-12 feet away, and yes would be a tripping hazard. You'll want a long one.

[@Penny-ts5ec]

Take extension cord... just in case!

[@Neachy1979]

Yep will have my cord and tell my fellow cpap-ers.

[@christinajulian2737]

Is the balcony covered? We will be in cabin 17236? Ty

Yes it is, quite private, we are in 17237
