Overview
Initial assessment identified multiple high-traffic aquatic zones across the Carnival Mardi Gras requiring surface enhancement to improve safety, comfort, and long-term performance.
In collaboration with Life Floor, a comprehensive pool deck refresh was executed across key guest areas. The project focused on upgrading surfacing systems in both recreational and relaxation zones, ensuring each space met performance demands specific to its usage.
Given the continuous exposure to water, UV, and heavy foot traffic, the materials selected were engineered to withstand marine conditions while enhancing the overall guest experience.
The scope was strategically distributed across multiple decks to maintain operational continuity while delivering consistent surface performance throughout the vessel.
Project Highlights
Facility: Carnival Mardi Gras
Execution Type: Multi-Zone Aquatic Surface Upgrade
Completion: October 2025
Scope of Work
- Installation of slip-resistant aquatic surfacing systems
- Surface upgrades across WaterWorks, Beach Pool, Tides Pool, Ocean Plaza, and Serenity Retreat
- Integration of comfort-focused materials for barefoot environments
- Application of durable, marine-grade surface solutions
- Coordination across multiple deck levels to ensure seamless execution
Areas Covered
- WaterWorks Waterpark (Deck 18): High-energy family zone requiring enhanced grip and durability
- Beach Pool (Deck 8): Central relaxation space with high guest circulation
- Tides Pool (Deck 16): Secondary pool area with consistent usage
- Ocean Plaza Pool (Deck 6): Social hub requiring both aesthetics and performance
- Serenity Retreat (Deck 18): Adult-focused zone emphasizing comfort and premium feel
Advantages
- Improved slip resistance in wet conditions
- Enhanced underfoot comfort across all pool zones
- Long-term durability under marine exposure
- Consistent performance across high-traffic areas
- Minimal disruption to guest operations during execution
Key Deliverables
- Upgraded aquatic surfaces across multiple decks
- Enhanced safety standards in wet environments
- Materials optimized for UV, salt, and water exposure
- Seamless integration across varied guest zones
- Long-lasting surface performance with reduced maintenance needs
Outcome
The project was successfully implemented across all designated zones, delivering a cohesive and high-performance pool deck environment.
The upgraded surfacing system enhanced safety, improved comfort, and ensured durability under demanding marine conditions. Each zone now aligns more closely with its intended guest experience, from high-energy recreation to relaxed leisure.
Through strategic planning and collaboration, the project demonstrates how material innovation can elevate onboard environments without disrupting operations.
