Carnival Victory went into dry dock in 2018 and emerged in 2020 as the Carnival Radiance. The ship will house all of the classic Carnival onboard activities, with upgrades, of course. At the WaterWorks aqua park aboard Carnival Radiance, there are two water slides over 200 feet long. And with room for nearly 3,000 passengers, there will be something fun for everyone! While sailing on this beautiful ship, you're guaranteed to not only have fun, but to be well-fed. Big Chicken, the fast casual eatery owned by Carnival's Chief Fun Officer Shaquille O'Neal, opened its first location at sea on Carnival Radiance, along with favorite Carnival dining options like Guy's Burger Joint, Cucina del Capitano, and the Seafood Shack.
