LIVE CRUISE SHIP TRACKER
Where is Mardi Gras right now?
Carnival Cruise Line · Excel class · sailing from Port Canaveral, Florida. Her live AIS position when she is reporting — and an honest “not reporting” when she isn't.
NOT CURRENTLY REPORTING
Mardi Gras isn't in the live AIS feed right now
Ships only appear here while their AIS transponder is broadcasting and a receiver is in range. Mardi Gras may be mid-ocean beyond shore receiver coverage, in a coverage gap, or between broadcasts. This page never fills the gap with a guessed or last-known position — when she reports again, her live position will appear here automatically. Meanwhile, the live ship tracker shows the traffic that is reporting.
About Mardi Gras
The lead ship of Carnival's Excel class — named for the line's first ship — in service since July 2021, sailing Eastern Caribbean cruises from Port Canaveral.
This page tracks Mardi Gras by the identity she broadcasts: MMSI 311001049, matched against WorldEye's live AIS maritime feed. The destination on the live card is the one her crew entered into the transponder, shown exactly as transmitted — AIS destinations are free text and are occasionally out of date, so read them as the ship's stated intention, not a booked itinerary.

The port webcams hub doesn't carry a dedicated wall for this port yet — it says so rather than dressing up another harbour's cameras. The hub lists the ports that do have real walls.
