Carnival Sunshine Cruises Ahead

Carnival Destiny is set for a name change and the new name is to be the Carnival Sunshine.  It was in fact, the first ship to ever overkill the one-hundred-thousand-tons water displacement mark in its production in 1996, and as a result, it was hailed the largest cruise ship in the world at one point.  The Carnival Destiny is by far my choice from the Carnival Line, and the reason is by far the simplest of reasons – it has a very wide-ranging in design. It was originally designed by Joe Farcus, which in becomes more evident in a bar called the Downbeat Bar, a unique jazz bar where the bar stools and chairs are shaped like tombstones and other unique, if questionable little quirky images.

There is also a rather entertaining wine-bar called Sam’s Place, which features a valance wrapping and piano keys, moreover the representation of piano-keys at least.  But one of the most entertaining things about Sam’s Place is the inclusion of microphones on each table, enabling people to show off their Karaoke skills, and some very rare cases, professional skills, along with the featured pianist of course.

When I learnt that the Carnival Destiny was scheduled to become a whole new ship, my feelings were divided on the whole revelation. Why Carnival has decided to make the change is beyond me, I have no idea, and however, to say I am not excited by the idea would be bit of an understatement. But the most exciting development is the fact that it is likely to be given a whole plethora of the latest mechanical upgrades, making the planned Carnival Sunshine bigger, better, more fun and the most reliable ship.

So I guess the next question is, what kind of upgrades are planned for the Carnival Sunshine?

Carnival for most part, is pumping a significant financial investment in mechanical redundancies mainly for the hotel services, setting up an emergency power battery system – obviously a reaction to the latest Carnival Cruise incident. It also plans to further improve each ship’s fire prevention, detection and suppression systems.

CEO of Carnival Cruises, Gerry Cahill, said,

“Our team of experts has worked virtually around the clock to rapidly determine and develop the best set of solutions for both of these ships. Moving forward, we will have the ability to source materials and schedule improvements much more expediently, thus minimizing the scheduling impact on other vessels”

He also said…

“I would like to provide continued assurance that all of our vessels have fully effective safety systems, equipment and training in place. Additionally, our ships receive regular inspections from the United States Coast Guard and other regulatory authorities. The changes we are implementing are focused primarily on improvements to better support continued power and hotel services should unexpected issues arise.”

The Carnival Triumph operates cruises from Galveston in Texas. Four day cruises depart on Thursdays and visit Cozumel while five-day cruises depart Mondays and Saturdays and call at Cozumel and Progreso, Mexico.

Carnival are also planning to operate a series of nine and twelve day Mediterranean cruises from May 5th to October 20th, 2013 – either round trip from Barcelona or sailing between Barcelona and Venice. The ship will sail on a 16-day trans-Atlantic crossing from Barcelona to New Orleans Nov. 1st to the 17th, positioning the cruise ship for a special six-day Caribbean cruise departing Nov. 18th followed by the launch of year-round seven-day Caribbean service from New Orleans Nov. 24th, 2013.
