Carnival Destiny is a cruise ship that is owned and operated by Carnival Cruise Lines. When she entered service in 1996, she was the largest passenger ship ever built as measured by gross tonnage, and the first passenger ship larger than the 1940RMS Queen Elizabeth. Given a multi-million dollar refurbishment in 2005, the Carnival Destiny features three pools, a variety of dining options, lounges, nightclubs, a casino, duty-free shopping and Spa Carnival. The Destiny spends her time plying the waters of the Caribbean. She is the lead ship of the Destiny Class and has four sister ships, including the Carnival Triumph, and the Carnival Victory. They differ from her by the addition of extra balcony cabins on their Lido decks and various changes to placements and shapes of their public areas.

Currently the Carnival Destiny offer 7 day Southern Caribbean cruises from San Juan, Puerto Rico. The ship removed Aruba from its itinerary in January 2007, due to rising fuel costs. Carnival said that Aruba is located too far from the Eastern Caribbean islands to be practical. Carnival decided to go to St. Lucia instead of Aruba and it could also visit a second island (i.e., Antigua in the 7-day cruise). But only a year after launching this new itinerary Carnival Destiny will change its itinerary yet again. From January 2008, it will not visit St. Lucia or Antigua, but visit St. Kitts and spend an entire night in La Romana, Dominican Republic. After cruising the Southern Caribbean for seven years, Carnival Destiny will be transfered to Miami in November 2008 to do 4 and 5 night Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises. It sister ship Carnival Victory will replace the Carnival Destiny in San Juan.

CarnivalDestiny and her sister ships, Carnival Triumph and Carnival Victory are not only three of the larger vessels in the fleet, but also have the highest energy.
Carnival's staff is efficient and does its job well � dining room service is hilarious during dessert, when waiters do silly dances balancing trays on their head.
CarnivalDestiny was the first Carnival ship to provide a significant number of cabins with private balconies.
CarnivalDestiny, a huge 101,353-GRT ship that carried 2,758 passengers, debuted in 1996, followed by two sister ships, Carnival Triumph (1999) and Carnival Victory (2000), both of which added another 700 GRT and 58 staterooms, bringing their capacity to 2,758 passengers.
CarnivalDestiny will homeport in Aruba, offering exotic Southern Caribbean sailings, while almost all of the Fantasy-class ships will be deployed on short cruises ranging from three to five nights, visiting ports in the Bahamas, Mexico and the Caribbean.
Carnival's humble origins pigeonholed it as a floating fraternity -- these days, Carnival is considered one of the most innovative cruise lines in the world.
