Carnival Fascination Dry Dock

[lingram001]

I understand that the Fascination goes into dry dock today, any updates about the changes happening to the ship? I will be on the Fascination in May.

 

 

Thank you for your help.

Other than new carpets and general maintenance, they are turning the two outdoor bars on the Lido deck into the Red Frog Rum Bar and the Blue Iguana Tequila bar. That's all the crew mentioned when we cruised in November.

Thanks for the info. There was conflicting information around and I just wanted to know what was actually taking place.

 

Thanks again

[Mrs CruisinCritter]

They may be doing some other things, but the bars are the big ones. I hope they make some sort of announcement about it and don't make us wait until the first group cruises after dry dock. We are wanting to do another cruise on her this year so I would love to know everything being done.

I know that after dry dock, Fascination is supposed to have the Taste Bar, Punchliner Brunch, and the Hasboro games, and the two production shows are supposedly changing. Anything other than that I'm not sure on. We'll be on her in three weeks. Can't wait.

For anyone interested here is a list of all ships and when their last and next scheduled dry docking is.

There was a list posted somewhere on here sombody copied from JH's Facebook post. I forgot all but most were said ablove..aA decent amount of changes. Were on ship for Easter.

They mentioned when we were on her in Oct that the show productions were also getting changed after dry dock as well as the other things that have been mentioned. Hope they redo the floors between the wok place and the lido buffet as they were getting pretty shabby.

This is my first cruise ad we will be on her in May. Can't wait!

We'll be on her sailing 2/16. I hope they did a good job!

I beleave all that was done was new carpets and general maintenance

[Express Man]

Same as I saw also, New carpets and some clean up work..But all that posted soo far said great things about ship and crew.

[paradoc1]

No new bars no thirsty frog beer, cleaner carpets and a few new chairs on lido that was all I saw we just got off her on the 7th of feb after a good 5 day cruise I was very disappointed that no changes were done and I couldnt get a answer as to why not from anybody

Two of the three 2.0 upgrades could have been done without any dry dock at all--the branding of the punchliners with the George Lopez name, and DJ IRIE. The other 2.0 upgrade was the Playlist Productions.

We strayed away from Carnival back in 09 took RC cruises because we did not like the Fascination as far as food (variety, selection) and entertainment. This past October we came back to Carnival and took the Dream only because going on the same RC ship 4 times got to be "same" and wanted a change of pace and only wanted to use Pt. Canaveral as we live not far from there.

 

The Dream blew us way out, amazing, on par with RC.

 

Now we are going on the Fascination, I know its older ship and it is only a 5 night cruise and the short cruises Carnival doesn't give you all the selection/variety and decent food as the Dream gives.

 

My questions are and maybe some of you can help me:

 

1- Does the Fascination have Punchliners Breakfast?

2- What time is the MDR open during sea days and port days for breakfast

3- What time is the breakfast buffet served till

4- On the lunch buffets did they have any meat carvings and assortment of veggies (our last Fascination cruise there were no meat carvings, no soup only one veggie each day and 90% fast food type foods which we do not eat)

5- What is the entertainment and is it ok?

6- Any good idea which slot machine is best?

7- Did she rock alot lol we have a verandach mini suite all the way on top lol
