This is also a high-energy ship, and you can expect a lot of fun on board at all hours.
Carnival is known for its wallet-friendly cruises, and many of the lower-category staterooms come at a great price, but you won't get a lot of square footage. The refit also added 182 new staterooms, giving you lots of options when picking a cabin on the 3,002-passenger ship. That extra square footage was filled with lots of new dining and nightlife options including casual poolside spots BlueIguana Cantina and Guy's Burger Joint, specialty restaurants including a steakhouse and the Italian Cucina del Capitano, and bars such as RedFrog Pub and Alchemy Bar. The name change was warranted - it's basically a totally different vessel after being cut in half and expanded during a $155 million top-to-bottom refit. Carnival Sunshine first launched in 1996 as Carnival Destiny and was relaunched under its new moniker in 2013.
