Carnival Mardi Gras Virtual Tours & Ship Renderings: How To View

       Carnival Cruise Line's 2020 newbuild, the Mardi Gras, is still under construction and will be making its debut later this year. Carnival recently updated the deck plans of the Mardi Gras to include some virtual tours of some of the ship's public areas. Once the ship enters service and has completed cruises, I am sure we will see many Mardi Gras cruise reviews with pictures, but at this time Carnival has given us some virtual tours of a few public areas to enjoy. 
      Viewing these virtual tours is extremely easy. I will give you a step by step tutorial on how to find these virtual tours on Carnival's website: 

​1)   Go to Carnival Cruise Line's official website. The Mardi Gras has its own separate ship page & profile that contains a variety of photos, information, deck plans, and more. To make this easy on you, here is a direct link to this page:  https://www.carnival.com/cruise-ships/mardi-gras.aspx#home    (Link will open in a separate window)

2.  Once you are on the Mardi Gras' page on the Carnival website look for a page called "Deck Plans". When this first comes up you may have to click another button that says "View Deck Plans". If this is the case for you click on "View Deck Plans". When you have the screen below appear you will be in the right place:

3.  After you have entered the deck plans, you should see a list of all of the Mardi Gras' decks. Choose a deck that has many public areas. There are some decks that only have staterooms.

4.  When you click on the deck of your choice, it should appear. You can zoom in using a scroll bar at the bottom of the deck plan. Find a public area with a red circle that has a white cross in it. This means that you are able to see more on this public area. Click on that red circle and a little pop-up should open that pertains to that area. At the bottom of this little pop-up you should see "Images" and "360-View". Click on the "360 View" to view the virtual tour. If "360 view" is not listed, that probably means this area of the ship has no virtual tour available. ​

5.  After clicking on "360-view", you should see a message that says, "Click Here And Drag For Virtual Tour". After you click your mouse on that, you have the capability to scroll around and look at the view Carnival has provided.

-   These 360 views (virtual tours) Carnival has provided are of renderings. The ship is still under construction, which means the actual public areas are not finished yet.

     Thank you Carnival for providing this feature on the Carnival Mardi Gras' deck plans! While these are only renderings, cruisers can still use these to tour the ship and get excited about their upcoming vacation.
