Valor - Safe to book Feb 2016? Drydock?

[webzila]

Looking for some opinions and info. Is it safe to book Carnival Valor mid / end of Feb 2016? I want to make sure that the cruise wont be cancelled due to dry dock. It is unclear when exactly the Valor dry dock will be. I have seen March 2016 in some places then others says April 2016 and some May 2016.

 

Searching Valor cruises looks like there is a break from April 24 - May 7 2016 so probably that's when Carnival has the dry dock scheduled for?

Valor's drydock is scheduled for late April. You'll be fine.

Thanks for the reply and the info.

We never been on the Valor so hopefully it is good. Sure it would be nice to go on a newly refurbished ship but then again we mostly going for the ports of call and not the boat :)

Does anyone know will it have the 2.0 upgrades?

They won't tell us what Valor will be getting. So don't book expecting the upgrades.

It's only a 2 week drydock at the end of April

Drydock is still scheduled for late April into May 2016.

 

From Carnival, earlier in the year;

 

"In October 2016, Carnival Valor — currently based in Port Canaveral and scheduled to undergo an extensive dry dock in March 2016 that will add a variety of Fun Ship 2.0 innovations — will take over Carnival Victory’s three- and four-day Bahamas cruises from Central Florida on a year-round basis. Carnival Valor will be the only ship operating three- and four-day cruises to offer the line’s highly acclaimed Fun Ship 2.0 features. Carnival Victory will subsequently move to another homeport."
