Carnival Destiny is a cruise ship that is owned and operated by Carnival Cruise Lines. At the time she entered service, she was the largest passenger ship ever built as measured by gross tonnage. 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. The Carnival Destiny has two sister ships, the Carnival Triumph, and the Carnival Victory, which 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.

The ship will drop Aruba of its itenary in January 2007. The reason for this change is because of the rise of fuel cost. carnival said aruba is to far from the island chain. Carnival decided to go to ST.lucia instead of Aruba and it could also visit a second island in the 7 day cruise.
