peanutgirl Posted May 12, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 12, 2015 My friend just got a email from Carnival. Her cruise is cancelled due to dry dock, I think, but am sure it is cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury me at sea Posted May 12, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 12, 2015 That would be a bummer. Hope they are able to book a satisfactory replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beshears Posted May 12, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 12, 2015 We just got off the Splendor last month, and had a good time. I know it is an older ship, but we really didn't see anything that looked bad on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayfulTippy Posted May 12, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Yes, I got the email also.I was offered a $50 OBC pp for my next cruise, and Carnival has already issued a credit back to my bank for the deposit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser fanatic Posted May 12, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Wow. Sorry to hear that. Two Carnival Magic sailings in February were also cancelled for dry-dock. Magic sailings were switched to the Freedom with a new itinerary. They were only offered airline change fees reimbursement if they needed to change the flights since the Freedom is leaving Saturday and the Magic was leaving Sunday.

springs741 Posted May 12, 2015 #7 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I think Carnival tries to do dry dock every 5 years or so. Magic is also going into dry dock and she is only 5 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the three dream class ships the Splendor is the newest in Carnivals fleet at 7 years old. Fantasy class, now we are talking older!

It's not Carnival, but rather a maritime law that you have to dry dock every 5 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes me wonder when the Dream will go into dry dock since she's older than the Magic. We're booked on her for November but I'm not holding my breath for a Guy's Burgers this time around. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexv500 Posted May 12, 2015 #16 Share Posted May 12, 2015 At least the Splendor is finally getting a dry dock! Hopefully she'll be getting the upgrades, especially Guy's burgers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out to sea! Posted May 12, 2015 #17 Share Posted May 12, 2015 My friend just got a email from Carnival. Her cruise is cancelled due to dry dock, I think, but am sure it is cancelled. Sorry but I'm happy to hear this. There were rumors that the Valor would go into dry dock in March 2016. If it's the Splendor then they won't put the Valor in at the same time.

glassman352 Posted May 12, 2015 #18 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I think this may happen to the Valor also. We are booked in July of 2016 but saw a press release that the Carnival Valor will be dry docked for an extensive drydock in March 2016 for FunShip 2.0. BUT..... you can still book cruised for this period of time.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexv500 Posted May 12, 2015 #20 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Magic is also going into drydock in late February 2016. So when magic is done with drydock, Splendor will be heading to drydock. It's going to be a very busy time for Carnival with 2 ships getting dry docked!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash713 Posted May 13, 2015 #21 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Does anyone know if it will still be in dry dock mid April 2016? I'm booked on the Splendor for my honeymoon on the 17th and there really aren't any comparable cruises and I really don't want this to ruin our honeymoon.
