One of the advantages of being retired is the ability to travel at will. I decided to cruise for the first time on September 11th and chose to sail the newest Carnival ship the Mardi Gras. Well we enjoyed our time so much we are out and about on her again this week. Taking advantage of our travel agent rates makes traveling easy and retirement friendly. We decided to take go a little cheaper and take an inside room to see how we like it. I remember our last inside room we said never again but we will see! If you are interested in trying out this ship let me know and I can find the best rates for you to travel.
