Carnival also revealed that Mardi Gras passengers will have expanded options for food and drink within two of its themed zones to explore, called Lido and Summer Landing.

Nestled within those zones are various eatery options, including Street Eats, an open-air venue with kiosks representing different global cuisines, the two-level RedFrog Tiki Bar, inspired by the islands, and The Watering Hole, a summer-themed cocktail and beer bar.

As if that wasn’t enough to fill stomachs, Mardi Gras will also feature an outpost of Guy Fieri’s Guy’s Burger Joint, a New England-inspired Seafood Shack, and a Mexican restaurant called Blue Iguana Cantina.

Big Chicken will make its debut on Carnival’s Radiance ship earlier in 2020.

Lagasse, meanwhile, will open his first restaurant at sea on Mardi Gras, called Emeril’s Bistro 1396. In keeping with the ship’s moniker, the menu will offer New Orleans-style cuisine, with dishes like barbecue shrimp, roasted duck and andouille sausage gumbo, jambalaya and bananas foster.

The Mardi Gras will also offer “dive-in” movies, multiple pools and a sports bar, plus a hang-out space with cornhole, trivia, arts and crafts, dance classes and more.

Other zones on the ship include Grand Central, French Quarter, La Piazza and the Ultimate Playground.
