Innovative Staterooms for New Carnival Cruise Ship
The new Mardi Gras cruise ship will is currently under construction and will join the fleet in 2020 will arrive with new innovative staterooms not seen on any other Carnival cruise ship.
The new design which is being introduced onboard the vessel will be for the interior, ocean view, and balcony staterooms. Thanks to a partnership with DCA Design International based in the UK guests will be able to experience cabins that are ergonomically-friendly offering maximum visual space, clean lines, surfaces, and good storage.
Ben Clement, Carnival’s senior vice president of new builds, said:
“We took a unique approach to our stateroom design with Mardi Gras, utilizing DCA’s design experts who are well known for innovative product design and partnered them with Miami-based interior architect Studio Dado.”
“DCA employed a thoughtful guest-centric approach gleaned from observations of how our guests use their space in conjunction with their vast experience in product design to make the staterooms as comfortable and functional as possible.”
Carnival Cruise Line has detailed what exactly the new innovate staterooms will be like and they will even feature new sofas that will transform into a bed:
- Floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors on nearly all verandahs for easier balcony access;
- New sofas that “flip” into a bed and foot stools that open up for storage;
- Clear glass doors on the in-room mini-refrigerators to see what’s inside;
- More 110V power outlets and USB connections both on the vanity and by the bed as well as more shelf space to accommodate electronic devices;
- Flexible bedside reading lamps that allow guests to read without disturbing others;
- A larger, customizable wardrobe with two pull-out bins, a sliding shoe rack, folding shelves and storage under the bed for luggage.
- Spacious bathrooms with glass shower doors, a first for the line, along with an in-shower shaving bar.
Dom Hargreaves, sector manager for DCA Design International, said:
“We’ve taken the best practices in new interior design and hotel concepts and applied them to Mardi Gras to create guest-friendly staterooms designed to make guests feel at home.”
“It’s been an incredible opportunity to work with Carnival to enrich the stateroom experience by focusing on both design principles and small details, creating moments of delight for Mardi Gras guests.”

In addition to the new interior, ocean view and balcony options Mardi Gras is following in the footsteps of the Vista-class vessels with Havana inspired cabins, Extra-roomy Family Harbor accommodations and Cloud 9 Spa cabins.
