Carnival adding more balconies to three ships


Carnival Cruises will be increasing their already high number of balcony staterooms on three ships during dry docking over the next few months. Staterooms on the Carnival Destiny, Carnival Triumph and Carnival Liberty that currently feature floor-to-ceiling windows will be retro-fitted with private balconies, thus creating a total of 48 additional 230 square foot balcony staterooms.

There will also be the addition of two new 750 square foot ‘deluxe penthouse suites’ which will nearly double the size of the largest staterooms in the fleet, to be added to Carnival Liberty. Carnival Cruises balcony accommodations include soft terrycloth robes for guest use during the cruise, satellite television, mini bar, hair dryer, ample clothes space and in-cabin amenity kits with a wide range of brand-name products.

“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.

The new ‘deluxe penthouse suites’ on Carnival Liberty will be the largest in Carnival Cruises fleet and will have a separate bedroom, expansive living area and two bathrooms, one with a hot tub. The new suites will be located on the ship’s forward section on deck 9.

Carnival Destiny, Carnival Triumph and Carnival Liberty are part of Carnival Cruises fleet of 22 ‘fun ships’, operating cruises in the Caribbean, Mexican Rivera, Hawaii, the Bahamas, the Panama Canal, New England, Bermuda, Europe and South America. There are two new ships scheduled to enter service between now and 2011.
