Hi Rod, thanks for the post. I also think it’s Carnivals best ship, although we are going on the Horizon in a few weeks so we’ll see if I still feel that way after that cruise. I haven’t been on any of the Vista class ships yet.
@@makingmemories8291 oh wow I’m going on the Horizon next week, October 15th , im excited, I went on the Vista in 2017 and it was awesome , The Vista class is also awesome 👍🏿👍🏿
Hi Dave! That should be a pretty cool experience! It would be something to recreate pictures that were taken on the original and make a collage of old and new pictures. I hope you have an amazing cruise!
Hi Destin, sorry to hear that your Carnival Valor cruise was canceled in 2020 but I am glad you will be able to experience the Mardi Gras in 2023, that’s very exciting! I love this ship and I hope you and your dad have an amazing cruise!
@@makingmemories8291 really enjoyed it - have subscribed to your channel to watch you grow. Feel free to check by out June too - we can learn together!
Hi Sterian, according to a Goggle search it says that crew members make between $16,000-$20,000 and crew in leadership positions can make between $30,000-$100,000 annual salary. Not sure if that includes the gratuities from the passengers that they receive or just the wage made from the cruise line. Also not sure how accurate this information is. It did say that this was based on Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian cruise lines. Hope this helps. :)
Hi Ryan, we were in extended balcony cabin 12374. I have a video tour of that very room as well as 2 other rooms if you would like to see the difference in rooms. I will link those videos to this one to make it easier to find. Hope this helps. :)
Thank you! My wife and I are sailing on the Mardi Gras in December and I am trying to figure out how our stateroom is laid out. We will be in 10334 and from your video it looked similar to what out room would be.
Hi Michael, I am not sure what the total number was but it was a pretty full cruise. I tried to film a lot of the video late at night or when people were in port so I could show what the spaces looked like without a lot of congestion. The Grand Central Atrium area can get very hectic at certain points of the day but it is a great space.
I'm currently on the Mardi gras not a fun ship at all. It's hard to feed my family. Limited available of food for different tastes. Have to find which venue has what we want. The app is a pain in the a#$.
Oh sorry to hear that. Here are some tips that I hope are helpful for you and your family….Instead of going to the buffet in the morning which is always super crowded we would go to the dining room for breakfast. The food is actually made fresh and you are served by a waiter and don’t have to fight for a table. If that is not an option with your family, you could order from room service (continental breakfast used to be free, not sure if that has changed.) My husband and I liked to get the sandwiches from the Java Blue coffee area which are delicious and free for lunch. Also the Italian restaurant is usually quick to get into for lunch and is delicious. Also Guys burgers has its own seating area so maybe you can try that. I love the pizza but it is usually a cluster unless you go at weird times of the day. For dinner the buffet area is usually much easier to eat at because a lot of people go to the main dining room. I hope this helps and that you vacation goes smoother. I know how frustrating it can be to navigate a crowded ship with hungry kids in tow.

What the name of the this song
Hi there, I’m not sure, it was a free download from Apple.
@@makingmemories8291 OK
Just not a fan of the reviews that are all music and no talking but thanks for posting as I am sure some prefer it this way!
Hi Thomas, I talk so much in my other videos so I try to switch it up. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching. :)
What stateroom where you in?

Glad to help! Hope you and your wife have an amazing cruise! This ship is absolutely beautiful!
This looks like it’s almost empty! What is the total number taking a cruise on this trip?
Hi Michael, I am not sure what the total number was but it was a pretty full cruise.
