It was christened by Sally Ride (1951-2012, US physicist and astronaut) who in 1983 became USA's first woman in space.

In November 2012 the ship was drydocked to be "Fun Ship 2.0" refurbished. During the refurb, several new bars and lounges were added, along with a complete renovation of all cabins and public spaces.

Fun fact is that this Carnival ship has two famous namesakes. The 2017-launched "COSCO Glory" (operated by COSCO Line) is among the world's largest container ships (capacity 20,170 TEU-containers). MS Viking Glory (2021) is a China-built cruiseferry owned by VIKING LINE.
