NEW BALCONY STATEROOMS TO BE ADDED ON THREE
CARNIVAL ‘FUN SHIPS’
A Number of Cabins on Carnival Destiny,
Carnival Triumph, Carnival Liberty to be
Retrofitted With Balconies; New Deluxe Penthouse
Suites to be Added to Carnival Liberty
MIAMI (October 3, 2008) – Underscoring the
tremendous popularity of its balcony staterooms,
Carnival Cruise Lines will add balconies to a
number of cabins on three ships during upcoming
dry docks over the next few months.
Staterooms on the Carnival Destiny,
Carnival Triumph and Carnival Liberty that
currently feature floor-to-ceiling windows will be
retrofitted with private balconies, creating a
total of 48 additional 230-square-foot verandah
staterooms on these vessels.
Additionally, two new 750-square-foot
“deluxe penthouse suites” – nearly double the size
of the largest staterooms in the fleet – will be
added to the Carnival Liberty.
“Balcony staterooms continue to be in
great demand – in fact, they’re often the first
cabin category to sell out,” said Ruben Rodriguez,
Carnival’s executive vice president of marketing
and guest experience. “Therefore, we are pleased
to incorporate additional balcony staterooms on
Carnival Destiny, Carnival Triumph and Carnival
Liberty, which will offer guests their own
private, relaxing venue for viewing magnificent
ocean vistas and scenery,” he added.
Like all “Fun Ship” accommodations, the
new balcony staterooms on the Carnival Destiny,
Carnival Triumph and Carnival Liberty will offer a
host of in-cabin amenities, including the popular
Carnival Comfort Bed sleep system with plush
mattresses, luxurious duvets and high quality
linens and pillows.
Carnival balcony accommodations also
include soft terrycloth robes for guest use during
their cruise, as well as satellite television,
mini bars, hair dryers, ample closet space, and
in-cabin amenity kits with a wide array of
brand-name products.
The two new 750-square-foot “deluxe
penthouse suites” on the Carnival Liberty will be
largest in the “Fun Ship” fleet by far and feature
a new cabin configuration with a separate bedroom,
expansive living area, and two full bathrooms,
including one with a bathtub tub.
Located on the ship’s forward section on
Deck 9, the deluxe penthouse suites can
accommodate up to five guests – rare in cruise
industry staterooms – and include two twin beds
that convert to a king, a sofa bed and two
pull-down upper beds.
The 2,642-passenger Carnival Destiny began
a new program of year-round four- and five-day
Caribbean cruises from Miami last week.
The 2,758-passenger Carnival Triumph will
continue its seven-day Caribbean schedule from
Miami through next summer then sail on a series of
Canada/New England voyages from New York before
repositioning to New Orleans to launch year-round
four-, five-, and seven-day Caribbean service in
November 2009.
The 2,974-passenger Carnival Liberty,
which currently operates seven-day Caribbean
cruises from Miami, will reposition to Europe next
summer to operate 12-day voyages to Northern
Europe and the Mediterranean. The ship will
resume its weeklong Caribbean program from Miami
in December 2009.
The new balcony staterooms on these three
vessels will be available for sale on October 3,
2008.
Carnival Destiny, Carnival Triumph and
Carnival Liberty are part of the line’s 22- vessel
“Fun Ship” fleet which operates three- to 18-day
voyages to The Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexican
Riviera, Alaska, Hawaii, the Panama Canal, Canada,
New England, Bermuda, Europe and South America.
The line has two new ships scheduled to enter
service between now and 2011.
