'''''Carnival Sunrise''''' (formerly '''''Carnival Triumph''''') is a [[Destiny-class cruise ship|''Destiny''-class cruise ship]] operated by Carnival Cruise Line. As itsshe and her three younger sisters (''[[Carnival Victory]]'', ''[[Costa Fortuna]]'', and ''[[Costa Magica]]'') are each a redesigned version of the [[Carnival Sunshine|lead ship]] in the class, itshe is sometimes referred to as the first of the ''Triumph''-class of cruise ships. ''Carnival Sunrise'' is currently homeported in [[Fort Lauderdale, Florida]].

Built by [[Fincantieri]] at its [[Monfalcone]] shipyard in [[Friuli-Venezia Giulia]], northern Italy, itshe was [[Float-out|floated out]] on October 23, 1999, and [[Ceremonial ship launching|christened]] by Madeline Arison,{{sfn|Smith|2010|p=51}} wife of [[Micky Arison]], the then-CEO (now Chairman of [[Carnival Corporation & plc|Carnival Corporation]]) of Carnival.<ref>{{cite web|last=Heald|first=John|title=A Cycle of Godmothers|url=http://johnhealdsblog.com/2012/12/03/a-cycle-of-godmothers/|website=John Heald's Blog|publisher=John Heald|access-date=June 6, 2015|date=December 3, 2012}}</ref>

On Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 5:30&nbsp;a.m. CST, the ship suffered a fire in the aft [[engine room]]. Although the fire was [[automatic fire suppression|automatically extinguished]] and there were no injuries to passengers or crew, it resulted in a loss of power and [[propulsion]]. To make matters worse, raw [[sewage]] began to back up into passenger deck areas, creating a major health hazard. This caused the media to dub the event "The Poop Cruise". ''Carnival Triumph'' was originally expected to be towed to the Mexican port of [[Progreso, Yucatán|Progreso]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/lifestyle/2013/02/carnival-cruise-ship-stranded-near-mexico/|title=Carnival Cruise Ship Stranded Near Mexico|first=Alyssa|last=Newcomb |work=ABC News|date=February 10, 2013| access-date=June 12, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/cruiselog/2013/02/10/carnival-triumph-cruise-fire/1907187/|title=Carnival cruise ship on emergency power after fire|first=Gene|last=Sloan| work=USA Today |date=February 10, 2013|access-date=February 10, 2013}}</ref> However, after being carried north by currents while awaiting arrival of large, seagoing [[tugboat]]s, itshe was expected to dock in [[Mobile, Alabama]], instead.

By February 11, 2013, itsher emergency electrical generators allowed partial restoration of some shipboard functions. During the night of February 10, supplies were transferred from ''[[Carnival Elation]]''. ''[[Carnival Legend]]'' was en route from [[Tampa]] and arrived on the scene around 3 p.m. on the afternoon of February 11 to complete a transfer of food and water and to take on a patient in need of [[dialysis]] for transport to [[Cozumel]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cruisecritic.co.uk/news/news.cfm?ID=5191 | title=Update: Some Power Restored to Carnival Cruise Ship Still Adrift | first=Dan | last=Askin | work=Cruise Critic}}</ref> ''[[Carnival Conquest]]'' en route to [[Montego Bay]], [[Jamaica]] from [[New Orleans]] stopped and delivered food and supplies during the afternoon and early evening on February 11, 2013.

On April 3, 2013, while ''Carnival Triumph'' was docked in Mobile, Alabama for repairs following the February 10 fire, strong winds caused the ship to break free from itsher moorings and strike a moored [[United States Army Corps of Engineers]] vessel, ''Dredge Wheeler'', sustaining a {{convert|20|ft|abbr=on}} gash and railing damage on itsher stern above the water line before coming to rest against a cargo ship. The [[U.S. Coast Guard]] and tug boats responded on the scene. Two workers were in a guard shack on a 65-foot section of dock that also collapsed during the high winds. One was rescued from the water and hospitalized, but the other was recovered dead nine days later. Repairs for the ship were then delayed by ten days, causing cancellation of two more cruises before the ship returned to service on June 13, 2013.<ref>{{cite news |title=Carnival Triumph cruise ship breaks free from moorings|work=WRCBtv |url=http://www.wrcbtv.com/story/21872375/carnival-triumph-cruise-ship-breaks-free-workers-may-be-in-the-water-in-mobile|date=April 3, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/cruiselog/2013/04/04/carnival-triumph-damage-cruise/2052211/ |work=USA Today |date=April 4, 2013 |title=Latest incident leaves Carnival ship with 20-foot gash |author=Sloan, Gene }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Carnival Triumph heads to Freeport for final repairs|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/southflorida/blog/2013/05/carnival-triumph-heads-for-freeport.html?page=all|access-date=May 13, 2013| newspaper=South Florida Business Journal}}</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d01nPplXC_U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d01nPplXC_U</ref>
