I love to take my daughter to New York City. Modern Boca Dadand I lived in the Big Apple for almost 9 years and really enjoy heading back to the site of our 20’s to visit and reminisce.

At a space-themed ceremony, the Canaveral Port Authority and longtime cruise partner Carnival Cruise Line officially broke ground for construction of Port Canaveral’s new Cruise Terminal 3 complex. The new terminal, dubbed the Launch Pad, will be the home of the Carnival Mardi Gras, the cruise line’s newest and most innovative ship, beginning in 2020!
Currently under construction, Mardi Gras will arrive at Port Canaveral mid-October 2020. It will feature:
BOLT, the first roller coaster at sea
20 passenger decks
6 distinctive theme zones of fun, dining and entertainment:
Grand Central
The French Quarter with Emeril’s Bistro 1396, the first restaurant at sea created by famed New Orleans chef Emeril Lagasse
La Piazza
Summer Landing
Lido
The Ultimate Playground
