2028 Carnival Mardi Gras Group Cruise
Hi! I'm Sonolito and I am so excited to cruise with you!
Join me and my friends as we sail from Port Canaveral aboard Carnival's Mardi Gras from January 15 - 20 & January 20 - 24, 2028 from Port Canaveral to the Bahamas with stops in Celebration Key, Nassau and Half Moon Cay! If you think 9 days is too long, you can choose to sail either the 4 day or 5 day itinerary.
We will meet up on Friday, January 14th in Port Canaveral to get the party started with drinks, food and a good time. Afterwards, you are on your own to explore all that Port Canaveral has to offer.
On Saturday, we'll grab some breakfast and then head over to the cruise port to board Carnival Mardi Gras! Once checked in, we'll take time to explore the ship and its amenities. Several events are being planned while on board to keep the party going. Be sure to join the Carnival Mardi Gras group cruise page to stay abreast of these even.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out! I can be reached by text at 224-304-4544 or by email at passportsandcarryons@gmail.com.
