In about 6 months and it will be a little longer than normal. https://help.goccl.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1540/~/carnival-spirit-(sp)-fact-sheet

So according to Carnival's website, you only need to check in for your first cruise. https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4529/~/back-to-back-cruises

I would ask for more evidence before worrying. People often say things just to say them. https://www.cruisemapper.com/ships/Carnival-Spirit-560

There is a Menu Mate aboard every ship, usually at the buffet area, feel free to ask them any questions you have about your dietary concerns as well!

Carnival does not require a deposit. They recommend a deposit. https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1138/~/sail-%26-sign-onboard-account

If this is your first Carnival cruise, then they are I think $4 each. Price may have changed. If this is your second or more Carnival cruise, then you get one of those bottles for free.

And often, the buffet will be serving the same food as the MDR anyway...

Correct. They will place holds throughout the cruise, but will not actually charge your card until after you scan your S&S card to debark the ship on debarkation morning. All the holds will clear within a week or so after the cruise.

Just fund your S&S account with a credit card, and then at some point before you check out - feed your gift cards into a kiosk or give them to guest services.

Try again with that link. It doesn't point to anything. Carnival has an exhaustive list of prohibited items. If something you want to bring isn't listed, then it is allowed. https://www.carnival.com/help

All they can say is no, so no harm in asking - but to be honest in my experience that is exactly the response you'll get.

Victory too.

I've seen carpet replacement and of course painting and lacquer work during cruises, and I recall some years ago on Ecstasy they replaced the tabletops in the MDR on turnaround day so they could get rid of the table cloths.

It doesn't matter how you plan to bring it on, it's not allowed and will be confiscated. https://www.carnival.com/help?topicid=1202 "Electrical and household appliances containing any kind of heating element, such as irons, clothes steamers, immersion heaters, heating blankets, water heaters, coffee machines, hot plates, toasters, heating pads, humidifier, etc. (All Carnival ships offer valet laundry service for a nominal fee, and most ships (excluding Carnival Firenze, Carnival Luminosa and Carnival Venezia) also provide facilities with ironing boards and irons.)"

You can go to the carnival forum here and there is a drop-down to see posts about a particular ship - choose Miracle, and you'll find lots of information.

For sure, but they can and do accomplish these things when cruising because it is cheaper to do them when they're not paying for expensive drydock time.

Often the ships back in so the port side is a misnomer. It doesn't really matter.

https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1134/~/laundry-service There are ironing rooms on the Jubilee that you can use for free.

That's not something they have to wait for drydock to do.

Carnival has mostly been removing casino bars for more slot machines, ripping out lounges for more staterooms, rebranding the sports bars to the Hero bar, and repainting the hull. They've also been adding more ADA accessibility features, like lifts at the main pool. The days of Carnival dramatically overhauling ships during drydocks seems to be over for now. Although I think many of their ships could use it. Any details about the drydock will be listed here. But more than likely this page won't be updated until well after the drydock when any changes have already been discussed here and elsewhere on the internet, like JH's page. https://help.goccl.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1540/~/carnival-spirit-(sp)-fact-sheet

We won't know until it's truly put to the test of course. Prayerfully, it never will be.
