The new Mardi Gras cruise ship will finally depart for Florida on Friday and sail to her new homeport of Port Canaveral to prepare for resuming operations later in the year.
Carnival Cruise Line has also decided to reflag the vessel. She will now be registered in the Bahamas and no longer flagged with the registry in Panama.
Mardi Gras Departing This Friday
The first Excel-class cruise ship in the fleet has been on hold in Europe since being delivered at the end of 2020. Most of that time, she has been based out of Barcelona, Spain, and now finally, the new ship will depart for Florida.
