Carnival Mardi Gras Cruises 2025 Reviews. Carnival’s inaugural ship, the original carnival mardi gras, was a modest 27,000 gross tons and cost just $5 million to build. How did this ship compare to the others and more importantly, would we book with carnival again?
116 rows when carnival launched their first ship, 1972’s tss mardi gras, they made cruising. This cruise is particularly interesting.
