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.

​Notes​:  
The Carnival Freedom's next dry-dock is scheduled for 10/04/2023 - 10/22/2023 according to GoCCL. The scope of work is not yet officially confirmed. 
FUNNEL FIRE - On May 26 the Carnival Freedom experienced a fire in its funnel. The Carnival Freedom went to Freeport where work took place. The ship's funnel is modified until further notice and will not have the iconic whale tail sides and instead will have a vertical funnel for now. During this time for repairs the ship was not in a dry-dock, but was docked for work to be completed. Carnival Freedom is scheduled to resume sailing on Saturday, June 11, 2022.

Other Dry-Dock 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.
