We're cruising on the maiden voyage of the brand new ship from Carnival Cruise Line... Mardi Gras, sailing out of Port Canaveral, Florida! We sailed from July 31 to August 14, 2021 on back-to-back cruises with stops in San Juan, Amber Cove, Nassau, Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Mahogany Bay. This sailing was 95% vaccinated (see our separate protocols video for more information on that) with basically no mask requirements indoors our outdoors, no social distancing, and self-serve buffets. Let's do this thing!

    UPDATES & RANDOMNESS: Since I realize that people "number" cruise days differently, and Reading Jay isn't entirely sure which method of numbering he ended up using this time around, here's a recap of our timeline with actual dates: -Sat 7/31 through Sat 8/7 first cruise, no issues -Sat 8/7 back-to-back day, no issues -Sun 8/8 first sea day, no issues -Mon 8/9 Cozumel, no issues other than Dee getting pool water in her nose -Tue 8/10 Costa Maya, spa day, first mild symptoms presented that evening during Deal Or No Deal, mild throat tickle and some overall achiness, we decided to leave the show and head to bed early as a precaution -Wed 8/11 Mahogany Bay, symptoms were still cold/flu-like with no obvious COVID triggers but had improved overnight, worsened again after breakfast burritos, canceled our excursion, decided to self-quarantine in our cabin the rest of the day -Thu 8/12 second sea day, symptoms again cold/flu-like with no obvious COVID triggers and again improved, ventured out of the room that morning masked, still trying to avoid people and stay outside as much as possible, then returned to the cabin, during the "paid room service" session that evening is when Dee first noted the sudden complete loss of smell & taste -Fri 8/13 third sea day, Jay ventured out solo to get burritos, decided that we would call for a test that day, packed our suitcases, tested, spent the rest of the day filling out forms and talking to doctors, moved to quarantine room that evening -Sat 8/14 debarkation morning, exited the ship using the approved crew elevators and exits Some of the main questions that we might not have addressed, that didn't apply directly to us... -If someone tested positive during a port day rather than a sea day, I *believe* you would be escorted off the ship rather than quarantining onboard, and Carnival helps to make arrangements to get you back home. -If we had tested prior to the final day of our cruise, I *believe* we would have been refunded for the portion that we were forced to quarantine, but that didn't apply to us. -From the quarantine zone, I *believe* you can order things that aren't on the standard room service menu, as we saw containers of soup on tables in the hallway, which was not a room service option.
