Carnival Sunrise deck plans

Carnival Sunrise (built in 1999 as "Carnival Triumph", last refurbished in February 2024, Fun Ship 2.0 upgrade in 2016, renamed “Sunrise” in 2019) is the second of two converted Sunshine-class liners. Her sisterships include Carnival Sunshine (formerly Carnival Destiny), Carnival Victory–Radiance, and Costa Cruises ships Fortuna and Magica.

In March-April 2019, Carnival Triumph underwent a USD 200 million drydock refurbishment, after which she was renamed "Carnival Sunrise". The transformed vessel was reclassified as a Sunshine-class ship, featuring the same facilities and amenities as sistership Sunshine (refitted in 2013 for USD 155 million). Carnival Sunrise's decks with passenger cabins include 50 Suites, 472 Balcony, 323 Oceanview, and 534 Inside cabins.

The deck plan of Carnival Sunrise shows a total of 1492 staterooms accommodating 2984 passengers (maximum capacity 3730), served by 1110 crew members. The ship has 13 passenger decks (10 with cabins), 22 lounges and bars, 3 swimming pools (one with a retractable glass roof), 7 Jacuzzis (large whirlpool hot tubs), and 10 elevators.

By comparison, Carnival Triumph featured 1379 staterooms for 2758 passengers (maximum capacity 3310), served by 1040 crew, with 13 passenger decks (8 with cabins), 18 lounges and bars, 4 swimming pools (one with retractable glass roof), and 7 Jacuzzis. Triumph's cabin distribution included 53 Suites, 502 Balcony, 314 Oceanview, and 616 Inside cabins.

Self-service laundry facilities (Laundromats) are available at an extra charge: $3.25 per washer or dryer load, and $1.50 per box of detergent/water softener (from vending machines). Launderettes (open daily from 6:30 am to 12 midnight) are located on all cabin decks and equipped with 2–3 washers, 2–3 dryers, and 1 ironing board/iron. Machines accept coins only (Sail & Sign cards not accepted). While the ship is in port, washers are closed; only dryers and irons can be used. Valet laundry service is available via the cabin steward. Prices per item for wash-and-press range from $2 to $7.50; dry cleaning is not offered.
