Carnival Cruise Line has wrapped up renovation work on two vessels, sending Carnival Glory back to Port Canaveral, Florida, and Carnival Magic back to Miami with a range of new and refreshed amenities onboard each ship.

Carnival Glory's updates, completed during recent in-service work, include the addition of a non-smoking casino and a new Club O2, the cruise line's dedicated space for teens. The ship is sailing short getaways from Port Canaveral to the Bahamas, with stops at Celebration Key, Carnival's exclusive destination in Grand Bahama.

Carnival Magic's changes are more extensive, following a 35-day dry dock in the Bahamas. The ship returned to Miami with a redesigned Lido restaurant layout, an updated casino and arcade, a revitalized WaterWorks aqua park and pool decks, a new mini-golf course, a renovated Cloud 9 Spa and fitness center with new equipment and refreshed retail spaces, including gift shops and the Effy Jewelry boutique.

Carnival Magic is also now the second ship in the fleet to display the cruise line's "From Sea to Shining Sea" bow crest, a design meant to underscore Carnival's ties to its U.S. homeports and its positioning as "America's Cruise Line." The ship has resumed Caribbean and Bahamian itineraries from Miami, with Celebration Key among the ports of call.
