Carnival Ecstasy Receives Multi-Million-Dollar Makeover

The Carnival Ecstasy–based in Charleston, South Carolina, has undergone a multi-million-dollar renovation that has added a variety of new dining and beverage innovations.

The features were incorporated during a two-week dry dock that took place from Jan. 10-24, 2017, in Freeport, The Bahamas.

Following the renovation, the ship returned to Charleston January 25th to resume its year-round schedule of four- to 10-day departures from that port.

These exciting options that have been added to Carnival Ecstasy:

  • Guyโ€™s Burger Joint, a free-of-charge poolside venue developed in partnership with Food Network personality Guy Fieri serving hand-crafted burgers and fresh-cut fries enjoyed amidst a dรฉcor that celebrates the chefโ€™s California roots and love of car culture
  • BlueIguana Cantina, a complimentary poolside Mexican eatery where guests can enjoy authentic, freshly-made burritos and tacos on homemade tortillas, as well as an elaborate toppings and salsa bar
  • Alchemy Bar, a โ€œcocktail pharmacyโ€-themed lounge with mixologists who โ€œprescribeโ€ concoctions from different elixirs and ingredients with creative monikers like Forty is the New Twenty and The Restorative Basil Drop
  • Cherry On Top, the โ€œsweetest spot on boardโ€ which celebrates the joys of simple indulgences with bins of bulk candy, fun fanciful gifts and novelties, custom apparel, and more
