Carnival has announced the arrival of Carnival Victory at the Port of Miami, where it will embark on a new year-round schedule of four- and five-day cruises to the Caribbean and the Bahamas. Four-day cruises departing Thursdays stop at Key West and Cozumel; five-day cruises departing Mondays include stops at Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay and Nassau and five-day voyages departing Saturdays feature George Town, Grand Cayman; and Ocho Rios, Jamaica.

Carnival Victory replaces Carnival Destiny, which is headed on an 18-day trans-Atlantic crossing to Venice, Italy and a $155 million, 49-day renovation. Plus a new name: Carnival Sunshine and everything that goes with their Fun Ship 2.0 enhancement initiative. -- Gerry
