FOLLOWING a US$200 million dry dock (CW 02 Aug 2018), Carnival Sunrise was officially named during a lavish ceremony late last week, formally leaving behind her old moniker of Carnival Triumph.
The ship’s new godmother Kelly Arison, daughter of Carnival Corporation’s Chairman Micky Arison, helped welcome the refurbished ship back to Carnival’s fleet at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal in New York City.
“To be a part of Carnival Sunrise’s official naming is more than I could have ever imagined and an experience I’ll never forget,” Kelly Arison said.
The ceremony also featured a video starring players from the Miami Heat, with Dwyane Wade, Alonzo Mourning, and Miami Heat alumni Shaquille O’Neal congratulating Arison on becoming godmother.
The ship’s updated look includes the introduction of new eateries on board such as Guy’s Burger Joint, The Chef’s Table fine dining experience, and cocktail pharmacy-themed Alchemy Bar.
Sunrise will spend the northern summer in New York operating four- to 14-day voyages.
