The refurbishment program
Launched in 2011, Carnival’s multi-million dollar program has been used to revamp 12 of its fleet members. Carnival Miracle is next on the list and will see the investment breathe new life into the 11 year old vessel. Mark Tamis, Carnival’s senior vice president of guest operations revealed that the line is “really excited that the Fun Ship 2.0 product enhancement program that began rolling out three years ago continues to bring innovative, fun and memorable dining, bar and entertainment options to the entire Carnival Cruise Line fleet and to the millions of guests that sail with us annually.”
Carnival Miracle will continue to be based in Long Beach, California and operate year-round itineraries.
