Carnival Cruise Line has brought its completely transformed Sunrise ship for a season of new Caribbean cruises out of Fort Lauderdale.
Carnival Sunrise officially launched its season of four and five-day Caribbean cruises this week.
Each four-day cruise will be calling on the Half Moon Cay and Princess Cays destinations in The Bahamas, along with Grand Turk and the capital of The Bahamas, Nassau.
Every five-day voyage will include stops in Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, Grand Turk and The Bahamas.
“We are pleased to bring Carnival Sunrise to Port Everglades, providing our guests with more options in sailing from South Florida,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “Since debuting earlier this year, the ship has received rave reviews from our guests offering exciting enhancements and the amazing service that our crew always deliver.”
The relaunched ship has everything from new fine-dining experiences to a new water park.
Carnival also said it had updated all of the ship’s state rooms.

St Barth’s most iconic resort is making its long-awaited comeback this month.
The Oetker Collection’s Eden Rock St Barths is set for its official reopening on Nov. 20, according to the company.
The resort, set on the spectacular St Jean beach in St Barth, first opened its doors in the 1950s as one of the first true jet-set getaways.

For years, it’s been the island’s signature place to stay, welcoming everyone from Greta Garbo and Gore Vidal to the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds.
While many of the resort’s popular villas have been open in the last two years, the resort itself has been shuttered since Hurricane Irma in 2017, having undertaken a large-scale reconstruction effort.
“We are so looking forwards to greeting again our dear Guest-friends and have dozens of great surprises for them,” said Fabrice Moizan, general manager of the Eden Rock St Barths. “The rebuilt Eden Rock – St Barths will be stronger and better able to recover from any storm… whilst at the same time preserving its precious heritage commenced by Rémy de Haenen in 1953 and channeling the same unique one-of-a-kind atmosphere all as before.”

All of the rooms, villas and “houses” at the property have undergone a complete redesign and “replenishment,” according to the resort.
“Our family has chosen the option to remake or restore pretty much everything in all parts of Eden Rock – St Barths,” said owner Jane Matthews. “We continue to fix our sights on being world class and remaining there. In this ambition, we are so thankful to belong on this fantastic island. There is nowhere like it in the world.”

The hotel has also added three new rooms with sea views called Tristan, Arthur and Theodore, along with three new suites on the resort’s legendary “Rock.”
The Eden Rock has also remodeled its “superprime” villas, with six suites in Villa Rockstar and three suites in the new Villa Nina.
The property also said it would continue its decades-long commitment to art, continuing a long commitment with the New York Academy of Art’s Graduate School of Art.
The brand-new Eden Spa will be set at the top of the Rock, with a new “yacht-on-land” themed sitting area and three cabins, with a menu of St Barth’s own Ligne St Barth.
Superstar Chef Jean-Georges will continue to lead the culinary program, with a new Sand Bar restaurant, a new “Remy Bar,” named after the first owner of the property, and a new ER Beach Bar for those famous Eden Rock lunches.
It’s a huge comeback for what remains the Caribbean’s true capital of luxury.
The recently-expanded Malliouhana, Auberge Resorts Collection resort in Anguilla is set to reopen for the season this week.
The luxury Meads Bay-area resort will relaunch Nov. 1 with a total of 63 rooms, an expansion from its prior total of 46.
The new rooms include 11 beachfront suites, four new garden suites and a new two-bedroom beachfront villa, all outfitted in the property’s signature colors of “mint, mango and white.”
The property has also expanded its Spa, with six new treatment rooms and a new spa pool overlooking the ocean.
That’s along with new meeting and gathering space near the lobby aimed at “C-Suite retreats,” with space for up to 60 people.
And the resort has reimagined its culinary concepts, with a new bar at the flagship Cafe Celeste eatery and a reimagined “Bar Soleil.”
The resort is even debuting new “beach ceviche” classes that will teach guests how to transform local seafood into rum-infused ceviche.
