| Carnival changes Destiny for Sunshine

Carnival Cruise Lines has
unveiled an ambitious project
to transform its 15 year-old
Carnival Destiny into Carnival
Sunshine in 2013.
COSTING a whopping US$155 million, the
project will commence with 49-day drydock at
the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy scheduled to
kick-off in Feb next year, which will see
Destiny transformed into Sunshine.
The major overhaul will include the
installation of several of the line’s ‘Fun Ship
2.0’ dining, bar and entertainment features,
and will see the vessel’s layout reconfigured,
the addition of a partial deck, as well as the
expansion of two other decks within the ship’s
forward section.
Sunshine will also be fitted with 182 new
cabins, and new public areas including: the
first three-level Serenity adults-only retreat, a
SportSquare open-air recreation complex, a
WaterWorks ‘splashtastic’ top-deck attraction,
and Carnival’s Seaside Theatre which will offer
guests a selection of nightly ‘Dive in Movies’.
Sunshine will also be fitted with a new
tropical-themed Havana Bar, a full-service
restaurant inspired by the line’s Mongolian
wok venues, a new elegant Sunshine Bar, a
new Cigar Bar, a new Comfort Kitchen eatery
and a newly designed coffee bar.
Carnival will also add fleet favorites such as
Guy’s Burger Joint, RedFrog Pub, BlueIguana
Cantina, Cucina del Capitano, Alchemy Bar, EA
Sports Bar and The Library Bar, whilst
Destiny’s main dining rooms will also be
completely renovated and all staterooms will
be revamped with new tropical decor.
Following her transformation, Sunshine will
sail Mediterranean itineraries in Europe from
Apr to Oct 2013, before repositioning to New
Orleans for year-round Caribbean voyages
commencing in Nov.
