It included adding all the special Carnival cruise fun features, like the biggest LED screen at sea (the "Seaside Theatre"), the WaterWorks aqua park, the adults-only Serenity complex, Mini-golf courses, enlarging the on-board spas, the Carnival cruise kids programming, refitting Oceanview cabins into balconied, the "Your Time Dining" concept, etc. This "first wave" of making the Carnival Fun better started in 2007 to be finished in 2010.

The Carnival Fun ship 2.0 upgrade program was initiated in 2011 to extend through the end of 2015, encompassing 14 Carnival ships and incorporating the Carnival Lines' concepts already introduced on the newest Carnival cruise ships (Magic and Breeze), plus adding numerous brand new features.

The list with ships that won't receive the "full pack" of new features includes Conquest, Glory, Freedom and Valor, and partially Magic, the reason being they don't have the necessary deck space for that.
