Carnival Ecstasy deck plans

Carnival Ecstasy (built in 1991, last refurbished in 2019, received the Fun Ship 2.0 upgrades in 2017, and scrapped in 2022) was the second of eight Fantasy-class Carnival cruise ships, alongside Fascination, Sensation, and the "no balcony ships" Elation, Fantasy, Imagination, Inspiration, and Paradise.

The 31-year-old Carnival Ecstasy left the Carnival Cruise Line fleet in October 2022 and was subsequently scrapped at the Aliaga shipbreaking yard in Turkey.

The Carnival Ecstasy deck plan included 1026 staterooms for 2056 passengers (maximum capacity 2467), and a crew of 920. The ship featured 13 decks (10 accessible to passengers, 5 with cabins), 12 lounges and bars, 3 swimming pools, 6 outdoor Jacuzzis (large whirlpool hot tubs), and 14 elevators.

Passenger cabin decks housed 54 Suites, 98 Balcony cabins, 466 Oceanview cabins, and 408 Inside cabins. Self-service laundromats were available on all cabin decks. These launderettes (open 6:30 am to midnight) were coin-operated and charged $3.25 per washer or dryer load and $1.50 per box of detergent/water softener (available from vending machines). Each laundry room included 2–3 washers, 2–3 dryers, and 1 ironing board with iron. Washing machines were unavailable while the ship was in port; only dryers and irons remained operational. Valet laundry service was provided by the cabin steward, with wash-and-press prices ranging from $2 to $7.50 per item. No dry-cleaning service was offered.

The Fun Shops were upgraded, carpeting was replaced throughout the ship, and most public areas received cosmetic updates.
