CARNIVAL FESTIVALE: ALWAYS AN EVENT, ALWAYS UNFORGETTABLE

 

Carnival Festivale^™ has a name that echoes one of our earliest ships, but this is a truly new release, and the features are made to help us band together to enjoy vacation, with extra experiences that focus on family harmony. What's on the playlist? Across the ship's six Zones — including two new ones that are music-inspired and incredibly immersive — you'll find things like the deck-spanning Studio 724 multimedia experience, featuring unique light and sound effects. The Mix brings a producer's touch to any cocktail-sipping session, while The Festival delivers the outdoor vibe and variety with its lineup of Pizza Palooza and Rhythm & Rolls Deli. Families will love the open-air Sunsation Point, with its Carnival WaterWorks Ultra and raft rides SunSoaker and Turning Tides, plus drier ways to play. But among all that's new, it's our pleasure to welcome back to the stage fan-favorite sip-along Alchemy Bar^™ and Piano Bar 88^™, show spot Limelight Lounge, and all-time flavor jams Big Chicken^™ and Swirls. Is that the end? Of course, not — we'll announce even more later!

DINING

STREET EATS

Some of the world’s favorite flavors aren’t found in restaurants, but on the street in trucks, stalls and carts where flavor, convenience... and quality matter. That’s right, when you’re just feet from the chef, you know they’re cooking to impress! Street Eats is Carnival’s tribute to this food phenomenon, which debuted aboard Mardi Gras™ with three ever-changing open-air stations. The first, Steam Dream, specializes in the steamiest stuff this side of the spa, featuring favorites like bao buns and pot stickers. Then there’s Mad Sizzle, which puts the “skill” in skillet with the likes of kebab and satay. And we’re definitely not about to forget Time Fries, which serves up every cruiser’s dream: fries loaded up with culinary creations from our chefs, like cheesesteak fries! On Mardi Gras you may be far from the street, but flavor’s right around the corner.

BIG CHICKEN

Carnival’s Chief Fun Officer and NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal brought Big Chicken to sea! Your clients can enjoy all-inclusive meals featuring Shaq’s favorite recipes, test-tasted by the star himself. Let your clients know to step up to the counter for lunch or dinner and walk away with their choice of chicken sandwiches, crispy chicken strips or juicy fried chicken baskets… plus side dishes, like potato salad and jalapeño slaw. Early-morning buzzer-beaters are invited to enjoy a breakfast of classics like chicken biscuits, a three-cheese omelet or our biscuit/egg combo featuring bacon or sausage. Snoozers are invited, too — breakfast is served until 3!

BONSAI TEPPANYAKI

It’s a meal, a performance, and it’s definitely unforgettable. The Bonsai Teppanyaki™ experience is set to delight your clients aboard Mardi Gras™. They can take a little time out of vacation to sit down to a selection of tempting appetizers, before the chef prepares the main course featuring selections of meats, tofu, fish, shrimp or lobster… right at their table. In the teppanyaki tradition — and Carnival’s tradition of fun — your clients can expect an interactive, satisfying meal full of surprise and delicious delight.

BONSAI SUSHI

So maybe your clients have had sushi before, but have they tried it at Bonsai Sushi™? This is Carnival’s onboard seafood-and-soy-sauce spot, and we think your clients will enjoy our latest location, aboard Mardi Gras™. They can dine indoors or out amidst carefully-pruned bonsai trees, while enjoying a delectable menu with sit-down service. Rounding out the meal: soups, sides, sakes and desserts. So the next time your clients take a stroll down the onboard promenade, encourage them to stop at Bonsai Sushi for a roll, a box or maybe order a whole sushi ship — seaborne satisfaction for two.

SEAFOOD SHACK

A good seafood dish… mmm, quite the catch. However your clients like theirs — roll, bowl or platter — Seafood Shack™ is Mardi Gras's place for guests to cast their net. Imagine a seaside spot in New England, where the locals gather for great meals served with a bit of a breeze and a lot of a view. (That said, nowhere on land will you get 360-degree ocean views like ours!) Your clients can look to Seafood Shack for rustic favorites like Crab Cake Sliders, Lobster BLT, Fried Buffalo Shrimp, Snow Crab and more. 

FAHRENHEIT 555 STEAKHOUSE

Haute cuisine meets atmosphere at Fahrenheit 555™, a dining experience that stands toe-to-toe with some of the best steakhouses on land. Except this one’s at sea — aboard Mardi Gras™. Ours features the best steak cuts, lobster, lamb and more… and inside, there’s even a full bar that pours great pairings. Outside, there’s seating for dining al fresco. These are the building blocks of an amazing experience — delectable elements that combine with great service to offer an evening your clients will remember.

Onboard Activities

CARNIVAL WATERWORKS ULTRA

included

Sunsation Point's splashing, glistening jewel of fun under the sun is Carnival WaterWorks Ultra. Yes to brag, but this is the most family-friendly waterpark at sea, and Carnival's biggest yet! Designed to deliver the H, the 2 and the O to all guests, this one is packing six thrilling waterslides, plus a splash pad designed just for babies... with another pad for everyone. If you love waterslides, here's what you need to know: we're talking a pair of family raft rides (Turning Tides and SunSoaker), two sets of racing slides (Racing Currents and Mini Racers), one twisty kids' slide (Mini Twister), and one splashtacular spiral slide for everyone. What's the speed limit here? That's between you and physics!

ACTIVE SPORTS AND FUN

included

When you're ready to take a break from relaxing, get down to some action at the sports court. This is the place to bring your A-game — whether that's a pickup round of basketball or pickleball, it's always set against some stunning ocean views. The ropes course has views that are perhaps even better, as you'll be suspended high above the deck while challenging one of two courses — one that actually takes you safely over the deck's edge! Whether you're warming up for action, or cooling down afterwards, you can enjoy family-friendly games like foosball or mini-golf. Sidelines is the shaded courtside seats that are a great place to watch the action or just take a break.

FESTIVALE CASINO

additional

Feeling lucky? Visit Festivale Casino — the largest casino in Carnival’s fleet. With the latest slots and table games, plus dedicated smoking and non-smoking areas, it’s designed for every kind of player. And for the first time ever, you can go for a $1 Million Dollar Slot Progressive Jackpot and experience fleetwide progressive jackpots on poker and blackjack. Whether you're chasing big wins or just enjoying the excitement, Festivale Casino is your ultimate gaming destination. 

Family Feud Live

included

The show has been delighting viewers at home for generations, but Carnival ships are the only place you can buzz-in at sea. We'll be hosting games on an authentic Family Feud^™ set — right down to the iconic Face-Off podium, plus all the excitement of Fast Money. Family Feud Live^™ will be emceed by none other than your cruise director, so if you're game, sign up your team of five for an audition… and make sure they bring that Family Feud spirit. And, of course, everybody's welcome to grab a seat in the audience to catch all the hilarious action!
