jwalk03 Posted July 22, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Anyone know when the Splendor will dry dock and if it will get 2.0 upgrades? Trying to decide between a cruise on Splendor or Conquest for December 2016. I like Splendor's ports better and also like that Splendor has Serenity while Conquest does not. BUT Conquest has 2.0 upgrades (particularly interested in trying Guy's finally!). If Splendor gets Guy's sometime in 2016, then the decision becomes a no brainer between the two, if not my decision is def more difficult. Anyone have any insight?

Vitamin_Sea Posted July 22, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I read dry dock is 3/6- 3/20 not sure what it gets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Geegitz Posted July 22, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I don't believe the Splendor is scheduled for anything soon. The serenity area is nice. Not sure why they left it off the Conquest. Tuff call. I'm not a big fan of Splendor. But I do like the serenity area. Love Guys Burgers and The Blue Iguana too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Geegitz Posted July 22, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 22, 2015 If you like the ports of the Splendor cruise I would probably go with Splendor. They still serve burgers. Plus you will have serenity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you will have serenity. I like the Splendor's ports more, but its a toss up. Conquest- Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay, Amber Cove Splendor- Belize, Isla Roatan, Cozumel The only port of the bunch I have ever been to is Cozumel. Conquest's ports sound great too, but the one concern I have is that the entire cruise is essentially "Carnival" ports. Not much real island experiences there.

jwalk03 Posted July 22, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I read dry dock is 3/6- 3/20 not sure what it gets Seems short to me, so maybe no 2.0 upgrades? How long have the other dry docks taken to add them on the ships that have been upgraded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icunrse Posted July 22, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 22, 2015 It's definitely 3/5/16 timeframe. We were booked on her for a cruise 3/5/16 and we were told we had to rebook on another ship because of the dry dock. Now, we are on Valor...and that is scheduled for dry dock next Spring too :confused: I hope we don't have to rebook again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been adding most of the 2.0 upgrades on other ships within 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least a Guys, Blue Iguana and red frog pub does not take long to do these things Edited July 22, 2015 by Vitamin_Sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least a Guys, Blue Iguana and red frog pub does not take long to do these things I hope your right. Guys is what I really really want to try. Blue Iguana Cantina & maybe Alchemy Bar would be nice too. The rest of the 2.0 stuff doesn't really matter to me one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiselover** Posted July 24, 2015 #12 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I sure hope the Splendor gets the Guy's Burgers, Blue Iguana, etc. since I am sailing on her in April 2016. I asked John Heald over two months ago if the Splendor would be getting the 2.0 upgrades when she goes into dry dock and I didn't receive an answer yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed though, that she gets the upgrades. I have really enjoyed the 2.0 features on several of the Carnival ships. Hopefully, we'll hear soon.

Cruznjuly Posted July 24, 2015 #13 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I feel like I've read somewhere that she will be getting one of those 1.0 Upgrades- Alchemy Bar, Cherry on Top, etc... But no Guys or BI. Kind of like the Miracle got last year. Same length of dry dock too. [emoji20] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serene56 Posted July 24, 2015 #17 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Sailed on Splendor this past February and according to Malcolm the Splendor is not due to get any of the 2.0 upgrades for a while. I doubt that Splendor will get those upgrades in the next dry dock. Picking a cruise based on Guys Burgers? Splendor does have the grill which also has hot dogs and grilled chicken sandwiches.

Shipbound Posted July 24, 2015 #21 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I do not if this is true or not but because of the design of the splendor there will be no guy's or the Rum and iguana bar on the lido deck . Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgratru Posted July 24, 2015 #22 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I would avoid Splendor at all cost. Truly ugly ship and staff seem over worked and unhappy....worst ship we have experienced. Would probably not have continued cruising if it had been our first experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruziJenn Posted July 25, 2015 #24 Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) Just my 2 cents..... Guys burgers is nice (have cruised on 2 ships with) but really I've had just as tasty burgers and dogs at the older style grills. I really don't think that Guys should be the primary decision maker for any cruise. And to me the only CCL ship that I can call "beautiful" is Breeze! It's colorful but in a more earthy and tropical way. I really love that and wish that CCL would consider something like that as a future 3.0 or something.

yamsi12 Posted July 25, 2015 #25 Share Posted July 25, 2015 absolutely love the splendor. It not having the 2.0 upgrades doesn't change my thinking one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
