We will treat our taste buds to the experience of a lifetime, culminating in a sumptuous multi-course dinner hosted by the Master Executive Chef. Our VIP experience starts with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, followed by a tour to see the galley in operation. The evening concludes with a mind-blowing full-service dinner of amazing appetizers, entrees and desserts not found on our regular dining menus.

Atop our tablecloth we’ll enjoy courses of dishes — antipasti, entrées, pasta and desserts — inspired by the Italian captains’ and officers’ childhoods. It’s all served famiglia-style, because we know that sharing tales of the day’s adventures is best with large plates and great company. Speaking of which, the walls are not only adorned with old snapshots from the crew’s family albums, but we might even find the captain dining at his own table in the corner.

Turning our special vacation in the direction of delicious by book a table for an unforgettably delectable evening at the onboard Steakhouse. Our menu will feature mouthwatering premium cuts of beef cooked to our exact specifications, as well as a fantastic selection of seafood, entrées, gourmet appetizers... and even a wine list that got the nod from Wine Spectator. (They actually call it the Award of Excellence.)

A good seafood dish is quite the catch. Whether it’s on a roll or a platter, Seafood Shack’s the place we'll cast our net. Imagine a New-England-style seaside spot where we can take it all in, enjoying a great meal complete with a side of ocean view.

We'll dine amidst expertly-pruned bonsai trees while enjoying sit-down service and an affordable menu of delectable sushi and sashimi…plus rolls, soups, sides, sakes and desserts.

The teppanyaki chef’s attention to craft is front-and-center One part meal, one part performance — and all parts unforgettable. The experience begins with a curated selection of traditional tastes, followed by a choice of tempting appetizers before our chef expertly prepares the main course, which features selections like filet mignon, grilled tofu or a seriously impressive array of fish, shrimp and lobster.

In 2020 Mardi Gras will set sail with Emeril Lagasse's first-ever restaurant at sea: Emeril’s Bistro 1396™. Everybody knows about Emeril’s love for Creole cuisine. Sharing his hometown favorites with the world is his life’s work — and now we’ll enjoy the authentic bayou flavors and fun that New Orleans is known for. They’re serving up Emeril’s faves all day… and because flavors this big don’t just sleep in, we'll do it for breakfast too!

When the food arrives at the table it’s smiles all around, especially on a Carnival cruise! But can you remember a time when your plate beamed one back? That just isn’t how it works… except at Rudi’s Seagrill™. This new fine dining restaurant, exclusively aboard Mardi Gras™, was dreamed up to serve delectable seafood classics that keep more than just an eye on the presentation — more like a whole face. Rudi’s Seagrill is the brainchild of Chef Rudi Sodamin, and we’ll quickly discover that this award-winning culinary artist loves fun as much as Carnival does. The focus here is seafood, and whether we’re talking about his signature face-based dishes or options with a more traditional presentation, Rudi’s delivers everything with an artful flair that will have your taste buds beaming!

Carnival Cruises, our ultimate honeymoon cruise, offer us spacious, comfortable and stylish accommodations, an array of onboard activities, and luxurious spa services. We’ll savor mouth watering steakhouses, European style cafes, and fresh local seafood specialties all with impeccable service. We’ll sip on classic cocktails as the vibrant nightlife and upbeat entertainment at the piano bar keep us moving well into the night! We may even give our luck a try at the Casino! Your generous wedding gift will be fondly remembered for many years to come.

We would love to shop for a piece of art at the onboard art auction as a cherished keepsake from our Carnival cruise! This piece of art will adorn our home and bring back memories of our dream honeymoon.

We’ll cherish a portrait of us on our Carnival Cruise in the many years to come, looking back on the magical experiences on our honeymoon!

What better way to be pampered on our Carnival honeymoon then to indulge in the Aroma Stone Massage? Heated Basalt stones will be massaged all over our body to soothe our sore muscles while the power of indulgent aromas will invigorate our senses.

Together, we’ll experience the special indulgence of a romantic couple’s massage laying side-by-side being pampered by natural aromatic plant oils that hydrate our skin. The use of exotic oils applied with the massage combines the senses of smell and touch to ease both physical and mental tension, leaving us with an experience that is uplifting and balancing.
