Carnival Destiny

Overview

The first of the Carnival megaships, weighing in at more than 100,000 tons, everything on the Destiny-class vessels is in keeping with their size—bold interiors highlighted by nine-deck atriums, 200-foot corkscrew waterslides on the Lido Deck, and public areas that often span multiple decks. Though they're all considered Destiny ships, the Carnival Triumph and Carnival Victory have an additional passenger deck and are therefore bigger and have more cabins and crew than the original Carnival Destiny.

The variety of indoor and outdoor spaces ranges from relatively small lounges with a nightclub atmosphere to huge showrooms where lavish production shows are staged. Most public rooms open off wide indoor promenades that branch fore and aft from the spectacular atrium.

Expansive pools and sport decks have plenty of room to spread out for sunning and more active pursuits; all three ships have been retrofitted with massive poolside 270-square-foot LED screens.
