Carnival Sunrise

The revamp of what until now has been known as Carnival Triumph was so massive — significant areas of the ship were completely gutted and rebuilt — the line basically considers it a new vessel. They spent $200 million in renovations….no…in a complete overhaul. To put the $200 million price tag of the Sunrise overhaul in perspective, Carnival only spent $420 million building the ship in the first place.

Here are some of the upgrades to the Carnival Sunrise include the addition of a snazzy new waterslide complex; an adult-only top-deck escape; multiple restaurants; and more cabins. In addition to renovating the vessel’s existing 1,379 cabins in a major way, the line added 115 new cabins.

It’s got a new WaterWorks waterpark, which replaces a single waterslide on one of its top decks. They added one of its signature SportSquare areas to the top of the ship with a ropes course, basketball court, miniature golf and outdoor pool and ping pong tables.

They also added an adults-only Serenity deck with padded loungers, day beds, a hot tub and a full bar.

Restaurant wise, they include a version of Carnival’s signature steakhouse, Fahrenheit 555, and Italian eatery Cucina del Capitano (if you’re a Carnival fan, you know this one as the place where the waiters sing and dance for you between courses). The ship also finally got a Bonsai Express sushi outlet, a dedicated Chef’s Table and one of the Guy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouses that the line has created in partnership with The Food Network’s Guy Fieri…and of course, a RedFrog Pub.

The new décor on Sunrise is almost … normal. And by normal, I mean the sort of contemporary, classy look you’ll find at any number of recently-built resorts from the Caribbean to California.

In cabins, the dated burnt-peach color scheme that was such a thing on Carnival ships for years is gone, replaced by soothing creams and blues. Cabinetry in the rooms has been resurfaced with crisp-and-clean faux wood, and cabin bathrooms now are blissfully neutral. Carnival has finally gotten religion on providing plenty of USB ports and electrical outlets in the cabins.
