Unofficial Dry-Dock Schedule For Carnival Cruise Line
Welcome to Our Dry-Dock Schedule Area:
       Please keep in mind that this information is always subject to change at any time. I will not be held responsible for changes in schedule or upgrades. Dates and years released are sometimes approximate.  Contact me if you believe there is any incorrect information or something that needs verification. My goal is to keep this page up to date in order to help everyone have a place for dry-dock information located in one place.
        I am not affiliated with any cruise line, travel organization, or group.  I upkeep this page because I am interested in cruise ship dry-docks and hope to keep some basic dry-dock information in one place.  RyG's Cruise Guide is a revenue free website, which means we make no money off this website and run zero advertisements on this website domain.


Carnival Breeze

Carnival Breeze's Dry-Dock Information:     
Previous Wet-Dock:   2022      Year of Next Scheduled Dry-Dock:   No Information Available
Notes:   The Carnival Breeze completed its 2022 dry-dock in April 2022 after being sent to dry-dock in Cadiz, Spain. During this dry-dock the Carnival Breeze received the red, white, & blue livery on the exterior of the ship. Carnival also used this dry-dock to expand the non-smoking casino on Deck 4 to add a bar area. This resulted in the removal of the Thrill Theater. Additionally, the dry-dock was used to complete routine maintenance & cosmetic enhancements around the ship.   
I just returned from the Carnival Breeze two weeks after this 2022 dry-dock ended. Please check out my cruise review with pictures by clicking here.

However, since Carnival has been updating the hull livery of other ships that go into dry-dock it is reasonable to expect this work will be done during this dry-dock for the Carnival Conquest. I will update once I have additional information regarding the Carnival Conquest's dry-dock.

On the ship's Promenade Deck cruisers will now be able to enjoy Bonsai Sushi Express, Alchemy Bar, Cherry On Top, and the Java Blue Cafe.

Carnival Freedom's Dry-Dock Information:  
​Previous Dry-Dock: 2019            Year of Next Scheduled Dry-Dock: N/A
​Notes​:  The Carnival Freedom's last dry-dock was in 2019. During this dry-dock, Carnival added the WaterWorks and Bonsai Sushi Express. In addition, Carnival moved the mini golf course from Deck 12 to the back of Deck 11. This change should make getting to the mini golf course easier. Carnival also added an ADA lift from Deck 10 to Deck 11's back portion. These are a few of the changes made to the ship during this dry-dock that I am aware of.

Carnival Vista 2019 Wet-Dock: 
The Carnival Vista was taken out of service in July 2019 to complete repairs to the ship's azipods. According to John Heald, Carnival's brand ambassador, the scope of this dry-dock was limited to repairs. Based on this information it does not sound like anything changed for guest areas. 
Carnival cancelled three cruises (7/6, 7/13, and 7/20) and during this time the ship went to Freeport, Bahamas, for the repair work. Due to a lack of available facilities at the Grand Bahama Shipyard in Freeport, Carnival contracted with a Netherlands based company named Boskalis that deployed a floating dry-dock facility to the Bahamas.
