Carnival Sunshine

Carnival Sunshine began life as Carnival Destiny in 1996 and received a $155 million transformation in 2013 — effectively a new ship with Havana Bar, Serenity retreat, RedFrog Pub, and a WaterWorks aqua park added. The 3,002-passenger vessel sails year-round from Charleston on 4-9 night Bahamas and Caribbean itineraries, making her the only drive-to cruise option for Carolinas, Georgia, and Virginia cruisers avoiding Florida drives.
