kybluecruiser Posted August 8, 2013 #26 Share Posted August 8, 2013 At some point John Heald posted that Paradise and Elation would get 2.0 upgrades instead of the EOF (downgrades) as they were the only two to not have. They were supposed to be the next Fantasy classes to undergo drydocks since they were next in their class line. I heard a long time ago that elation and paradise would get major renovations soon since they have dated staterooms and no waterworks and because they were the newest in the class. Then I came to the conclusion that was just a false rumor. Now I think they will just get some 2.0 upgrades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjknox Posted August 8, 2013 #28 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Sorry. You are incorrect. The Sunshine was delayed because of the generators. The reason why the work wasn't finished was due to the vandalism, but that was not the reason for the delay.http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=5442 Yep, you're correct. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlb1484 Posted August 8, 2013 #29 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Typo perhaps? Shouldn't this happen in 2013? "Carnival Inspiration Upcoming Scheduled Dry-Dock: 11/04/14 - 11/18/14" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kybluecruiser Posted August 8, 2013 #30 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Does anybody remember how long it took for drydock when the fantasy class recieved evolutions of fun? I was just thinking though smaller they did quiet bit of work during that time. Stateroom upgrades serenity and waterworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Carnival Inspiration Upcoming Scheduled Dry-Dock: 11/04/14 - 11/18/14" Yes it is 2013. Thank you for letting me know and I have corrected it on the list.

Eng23 Posted August 8, 2013 #32 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I put together a dry-dock schedule for all of the Carnival ships. The schedule includes the last known dry-dock and the upcoming dry-dock (if one is scheduled) for each ship. http://www.embarkandaway.com/carnival-drydock-schedule.html The schedule does not have what all of the ships are getting because this information has not yet been made public for all ships. I compiled the information using Carnival's website, go CCL, and John Heald's Blog/Facebook. And of course, the information is subject to change (Carnival can change their mind!) Let me know what you think! Hope this helps someone! Thanks for posting and providing the source of the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIENA6334 Posted August 9, 2013 #33 Share Posted August 9, 2013 My concern is the ships going in for the long dry docks will be "sunshined" which in turn means higher prices. I was looking at a western carribean for 2015. A 7 day out of miami on sunshine is running $200 more than same itinerary out of tampa. I realize a major re-do was done but it is not a new boat and i simply will not pay over $900 for a 7 day western carribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stateroom upgrades serenity and waterworks. 35 days, which is about right, especially since these ships are larger than Spirit Class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCHENG Posted August 9, 2013 #36 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) Go CCL shows the next dry-dock being 3/15/15 - 4/22/15. There is no information about the enhancements or work that will be done yet during this drydock. If you try to book cruises during these dates (March - April 2015) you will only get March 1, March 8, and April 26. This indicates that the two websites align. Sorry the ship may not have 2.0 for the cruise you booked in January 2015. Before cancelling try calling Carnival and ask when the ship will receive the 2.0 upgrades & feel free to report back your findings! Hope this helps! Ended up moving my Valor cruise from 01/25/2015 to 04/26/2015, the first cruise after the drydock. A 42 day drydock seems unreasonably long even for 2.0 conversions, as Conquest and Glory received the 2.0 upgrades during a 2 week drydock. Any chance that the Valor gets "Sunshined", which if I remember correctly had a 49 day drydock. Edited August 9, 2013 by PCHENG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseloveryay Posted August 9, 2013 #38 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I do wonder about the Valor. Wonder what they may do? The Valor will probably receive a miniature version of what the Freedom will get. Victory will probably be the only ship that is truly "Sunshined", and will include everything except for 3 level Serenity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCHENG Posted August 9, 2013 #39 Share Posted August 9, 2013 The Valor will probably receive a miniature version of what the Freedom will get. I thought the Freedom is just getting the standard 2.0 upgrades? Or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseloveryay Posted August 9, 2013 #40 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I thought the Freedom is just getting the standard 2.0 upgrades? Or am I missing something? There are rumors that the Freedom will receive more than the ordinary 2.0 upgrades. That is, there are rumors that the Freedom will receive a Waterworks and a Skycourse. I believe these rumors that she will receive this because a 49 or 50 day dry dock is very unordinary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Freedom & Valor will receive the three level serenity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed that most of the time Carnival announces their major news on Thursdays, but they have made announcements other days of the week as well.

cowgrlkirby Posted August 15, 2013 #50 Share Posted August 15, 2013 So when is the Paradise sure for a drydock? I have a cruise planned January 25th and was wondering if we were going to have anything me to look forward to on the ship. Not that I would not be happy getting on the ship just the way she is but waterworks sure would be nice :D along with a few new bars ;):beer: Sent from my VS840 4G using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
