This bar is next to the casino where the former sports bar, Gloves, was located. Carnival has worked with this company to develop a new sports bar concept, aptly named the EA Sports Bar. Video game fans will recognize the name EA Sports. Comedian George Lopez consulted on the hiring of comedic talent, and Food Network television star Guy Fieri introduced a new free outdoor grill on the ships called Guy's Burger Joint. I had previously sailed on the Carnival Liberty in 2006, so it was interesting to see the changes made to the ship.įirst, Carnival has partnered with some big names to bring new entertainment and dining options to the ships. Carnival announced in 2011 that the company is investing over $500 million to enhance its fleet over the next several years. I sailed the western Caribbean on the Carnival Liberty not long after the first of the 2.0 changes were made to the ship, and I'm happy to say that the cruise line has some winning ideas. The Carnival Liberty was the first of the Carnival Cruise Lines ships to undergo its FunShip 2.0 renovation.
