Another Carnival ship emerges from makeover
One of cruise giant Carnival's newest ships has just emerged from its first significant makeover.
The four-year-old Carnival Magic received nearly half a dozen new eateries and bars during a two-week overhaul in the Bahamas that ended Sunday.
The upgrades to the 3,690-passenger vessel included the addition of Guy’s Burger Joint, a poolside burger venue developed in partnership with the Food Network's Guy Fieri that has been rolling out across the Carnival fleet.
Also new is the RedFrog Rum Bar, a poolside venue that specializes in rum-based frozen drinks, and Pizzeria del Capitano, which offers hand-tossed artisanal-style pizza.
Other additions include the interior Alchemy Bar, a pharmacy-themed lounge where mixologists “prescribe” colorful concoctions, and the BlueIguana Tequila Bar, another outdoor venue that has been debuting across the Carnival fleet.
The makeover took place at the Grand Bahama Shipyard on Grand Bahama Island.
Currently based in Galveston, Texas, the Carnival Magic will re-position to Port Canaveral, Fla. in April to begin year-round voyages to the Caribbean. The ship will operate two distinct seven-night itineraries: A western Caribbean route that features stops in Cozumel and Costa Maya in Mexico; Belize; and the Honduran island of Roatan, and an eastern Caribbean route that features calls at St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Grand Turk; and either Nassau, Bahamas or Amber Cove, Dominican Republic.
