ready2cruzagain Posted October 27, 2011 #2 Share Posted October 27, 2011 From what I understand the Breeze will be the first ship to get the Hasbro games. This is from an article I read: Part of Carnival’s Fun Ship 2.0 product enhancement initiative, the interactive game shows will debut on Carnival Breeze in 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare shof515 Posted October 27, 2011 #5 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I guess carnivla did not had time in drydock to make these changes. Wonder if she will get it when she enters dry docks a few years from now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nina_930 Posted February 21, 2012 #11 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Carnival updated the website. Hasbro Game Shows are going to be on Liberty in 2012. Doesn't say when though. Schedule: Carnival Breeze (June 2012) Carnival Conquest (Oct. 2012) Carnival Glory (Nov. 2012) Carnival Liberty (2012) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funfamilyof6 Posted February 22, 2012 #12 Share Posted February 22, 2012 After seeing this thread I immediately called Carnival to see if they had an approximate month. The reply was "no". I really hope it is on for our late August cruise. Carnival originally said that it would be added during last drydock. For whatever reason, it was not. Now they are saying yes again. The torture! :eek: Does anybody know why it wasn't added on during drydock in October in the first place?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froufie Posted February 22, 2012 #13 Share Posted February 22, 2012 The Liberty go all the Funship 2.0 upgrades. They did not get the Hasbro Game Show though. Actually the Liberty also didn't get the 'wine tasting' bar (in the Library?)...I believe that is also starting with the Breeze in June! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted February 22, 2012 #14 Share Posted February 22, 2012 JH had a whole series of FB posts over the last couple of weeks (clogging up our news pages) with reports of his "filming"/ participation in the development of these games in Philly , so they aren't ready for release yet.

Carnival_Brides Posted February 22, 2012 #15 Share Posted February 22, 2012 The PP poster is correct. The games weren't ready yet, so they didn't get added to the Liberty in drydock. We went to the game trials in Philadelphia a couple weeks ago when they were training a couple of the CD's and ACD's and they didn't have the all of the game pieces completed (the Sorry Sliders weren't colored yet) and were still tweaking the games and sets. I got to play the Sorry Sliders and Operation and then try my luck at the Monopoly machine at the end--I've never had so much fun playing "board games". I'm excited to see what the finished product looks like because it was a lot of make believe on game day since we were in a large warehouse, although John and the others made it seem like we were at sea, especially since Carnival provided lunch :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nina_930 Posted February 23, 2012 #16 Share Posted February 23, 2012 So does that mean they will wait until the nex dry dock in October to put it on the ship or have they added stuff like this previously in the middle of the season? I am sailing in July so I'm just curious if it will be added by then. Thanks for the info. I too was disappointed when I found out it wasn't on Liberty.

I am sailing in July so I'm just curious if it will be added by then. Thanks for the info. I too was disappointed when I found out it wasn't on Liberty. Liberty was already in drydock in October which is when she got some of her 2.0 upgrades. She is not due for another drydock for probably 3-4 years. When I called Carnival, they told me the Liberty would be getting Hasbro sometime in 2012, but they didn't have the exact month yet. It obviously wouldn't be before the Breeze (June 2012) since they are now (not original plan obviously) promoting the Breeze to be the first to be getting Hasbro. It make sense that they couldn't follow through with that plan of adding Hasbro to the Liberty during drydock because they were not able to complete the pieces in time. To answer your question, the Liberty will not have to be in drydock to have Hasbro added. Maybe you and me will get a lucky surprise this summer, but don't count on it. I'm concerned because they haven't put in the exact month as they have with the other ships. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven93921 Posted February 23, 2012 #18 Share Posted February 23, 2012 An additional dry-dock won't be necessary to add the Hasbro games later. Any infrastructure that is needed to host the games in the main theater would likely already have been added during 2.0 upgrades (such as overhead cameras). She is really just waiting on the game sets to be complete and delivered to the ship and for the production department to finalize the actual shows.

lyn.net Posted February 24, 2012 #20 Share Posted February 24, 2012 First off, I apologize for my ignorance. But what is it that they have to do to initiate these games? Are 'special' places/areas required? They seem to be able to facilitate games now in the various available venues. What more do they need? Will these games go beyond the scope of the current games (i.e. Love & Marriage, Battle of the Sexes, Hairy Chest, etc.)? Just to be clear, I am excited that they are formulating new games. I'm just not sure why the delay. It will be great to have new games - and more chances to win the coveted ship-on-a-stick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be great to have new games - and more chances to win the coveted ship-on-a-stick! there are a number of sets that are being completed that are the games themselves that will be delivered to the ships. they will be on the main theater, probably up to three shows per cruise. the CDs and ACDs that will be hosting the shows have had rehearsals at the scenery construction company (Scenery First in Philadelphia) to refine the production itself. my wife and I went to the show rehearsals and the production is meant to give the audience the same feel of being in a live studio audience of a TV game show.

It's like Nickelodeon for kids. there is a game show called "Family Game Night" in which two familes of 4 (2 kids, 2 parents) compete against the other family. They play traditional kind of games like Yahtzee, Bop It, Monopoly etc with a twist...These games are life size and sometimes a bit "extreme". For example, for the Yahtzee game, you have a giant "bowling ball" that you roll to knock over your numbers. The ball is probably 4 feet tall. It's just as fun to watch it as to participate I would assume. So it's not just a board game, it's a stage production game. My ds-7 absolutely loves this show, and we booked our next cruise specifically for this game as I looked at the schedules and which ships would have it.
