Carnival Cruises has been an integral part of Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans for over a century, so we had to take a look at this year’s theme. The festivities start with King Cake, a sweet treat that is offered to the first person to find the jake (King Cake) in a haystack on Mardi Gras morning. Is it a coincidence that the King Cake is one of Carnival’s most popular treats?

I am a huge fan of the carnival – my family even used to go every year when I was younger. There’s just something intrinsically fun about being surrounded by a bunch of crazy people, strolling around the streets in a giant, noisy, colourful world of costumed characters, beautiful music, and food!

Carnival Mardi Gras also features some of the cruise line’s new restaurants, including Shaquille O’Neal’s Big Chicken and Emeril Lagasse’s Emeril Bistro 1396.

Another new restaurant making its debut at Mardi Gras is Rudi’s Seagrill from chef Rudy Sodamin. Sodamin previously worked for Carnival Corporation and was chief counsel for Holland America Line.
