⚓ Ship time on Mardi Gras
Like every cruise ship, she keeps ship time — normally the time zone of her departure port — for the entire voyage, even when docked somewhere that uses a different one. Your phone does not: it switches to local time the moment it finds a foreign cell tower.
That mismatch is the single most common reason passengers miss all-aboard. Read how ship time works, or let ShipTime track both clocks for you — it works with no signal at all.
About Mardi Gras
Named after the original TSS Mardi Gras, Carnival's very first ship. She entered service on 31 July 2021 and is the largest ship in the fleet.
