Accommodations
On the Destiny, the cabins with balconies are somewhat smaller than on other Carnival Cruise Lines ships.

However, there are 322 cabins with just a view of the ocean and what a view it is. If you prefer not to see the ocean, there are over 500 inside cabins to choose from.

They contain showers, a medicine cabinet and a hair dryer, so this is one item you don’t have to find room for in your luggage. In addition, the bathroom amenities are provided free of charge.
