My first cruise was also on Mardi Gras, in 1983 or 4. I went alone, spur of the moment last minute, got a real cheap price and shared a cabin with 3 other singles. It was tight to say the least! However, I had a great time...I remember Grand Cayman and Jamaica the best. The food was great, the crew was wonderful and those real teak deck chairs were the best! I also remember trying to climb over those door openings while under the influence of too much partying and it was sometimes a challenge...
Mardi Gras got me hooked on cruising and I'm so glad she was there. A great ship and you're right, she should have been preserved. Too bad.
Mardi Gras...oh what a first cruise story!
