Following an impressive $155 million remodel, the former Carnival Destiny has been radically transformed into the new Carnival Sunshine and now sports all of Carnival Cruise Lines‘ Fun Ship 2.0 features. Those great concepts that once teased us are a reality as seen in the photos below.

To get a clear sense for just how extensive this remodel was check out the entire Carnival Sunshine Dry Dock video series on the cruise line’s YouTube channel here and explore the final culmination in the video embedded below…
