Carnival Destiny Review

Editor's Note: Carnival Destiny emerged from a two-week dry-dock in September 2008. Additions to this middle-aged ship include a Carnival Seaside Theater and new "Circle C" facility for the 12-14's. Cabins were also renovated, with balconies added to 16 cabins (a nice addition, but a far cry from the 314 balconies Celebrity added to Century in 2006). New carpeting, wall coverings and tile work was also put in.

Carnival Destiny is the first of Carnival Cruise Lines' five Destiny-class liners. This ship has some of the best nightlife at sea, with entertainment for every taste and age group. Carnival Destiny also boasts one of the largest casinos afloat and a spacious spa and fitness center. Guests will find a huge variety of entertainment and dining options, excellent food, spacious and comfortable cabins, friendly and professional service, and an exceptional value for the dollar.

At just over 101,000 tons, Carnival Destiny is one of the larger cruise ships at sea carrying 2,642 passengers. Despite its size, we never noticed any more crowding or any longer lines than we have found on much smaller ships. We were also surprised to discover how easy it was to find our way around this vessel. We quickly learned that the key was finding out which elevator banks served which public rooms.

There is a full slate of activities and entertainment for every age group and taste -- from ballroom dancing, classical music concerts, tea time and art auctions to hairy chest and knobby knees contests, blackjack and slot machine tournaments, bingo, and karaoke.
