Carnival Cruise Lines´ Destiny Completes Megabuck Refurbishment
Carnival Cruise Lines´ 2,642-passenger “Fun Ship” Carnival Destiny recently completed a 21-day dry dock stop that included an expansive new teen club, a renovated Lido restaurant and children´s pool, a redesigned casino, and updated suite accommodations.
Following the multi-million-dollar renovation, which took place in Freeport, Bahamas, the 101,353-ton Carnival Destiny resumed its regular schedule of 7/24 southern Caribbean cruises from San Juan. On this route, Carnival Destiny departs every Sunday on weeklong voyages to St. Thomas/St. John, Dominica, Barbados and Aruba.
Other renovations include a revamped Sun & Sea poolside restaurant on Lido deck which now features colorful tile work, updated lighting, new carpeting and chairs, and a new espresso bar.
The Millionaire´s Club Casino has been refurbished, as well, with a new poker pit, new lighting and furniture, and various other cosmetic enhancements. In addition, virtually all other public areas, including the Onyx Lounge, Point After Dance Club, and Apollo Piano Bar, were renovated to some extent.
The Carnival Destiny entered service in November of 1996 and is the namesake vessel in the line´s popular Destiny-class which also includes Carnival Triumph and Carnival Victory.
