CEO Arnold Donald, along with 300 travel advisors, were at a ceremony to commemorate the ship\u2019s arrival. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMardi Gras has been five years in the making and today\u2019s arrival is a historic milestone for our company, not to mention a truly emotional moment for everyone here at Carnival Cruise Line,\u201d said Duffy in remarks at the event. \u201cAs we look forward to our restart in guest operations, Mardi Gras\u2019 arrival is symbolic of the excitement and anticipation we have about the future at Carnival Cruise Line.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The company said it will now begin the process of ramping up Mardi Gras\u2019 crew to a full contingent of 1,750. The ship has the first roller coaster at sea, the only shipboard version of the hit TV show Family Feud, and more than two dozen restaurants with venues from Guy Fieri, Emeril Lagasse, Rudi Sodiman and the line\u2019s Chief Fun Officer, Shaquille O\u2019Neal. The ship also boasts the longest ropes course and largest water park in the Carnival fleet. <\/p>\n<p>The Mardi Gras will operate year-round from Port Canaveral, sailing seven-day itineraries to the eastern and western Caribbean.
