CoolHandLuke1973 Posted February 20, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Hello All - excited to go on this 8 Day cruise out of New Orleans. This ship has a storied past - and already went through a Fun 2.0 and mechanical upgrade costing $115 million in 2013. This ship is scheduled to be dry docked for 2 weeks right before the April 8th cruise. Any ideas of 2016 Carnival refurbishments for ships that have already had the Fun 2.0 upgrades? Any information is helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cursor2012 Posted February 20, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I would pretty much expect just routine maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinmarie424 Posted February 20, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I had posted a link to the page on the goccl website that showed in was just routine maintenance (new carpet, cleaning) on another thread but they have removed that section from the page. I can't imagine they would do much more than that in two weeks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser fanatic Posted February 20, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 20, 2016 It will likely be routine maintenance. Nothing major. It is standard procedure to dry-dock newer ships every 5 years and older ships every 3 years. The Triumph hasn't had a dry-dock since the engine fire which was 3 years ago.

jmscat10 Posted February 20, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 20, 2016 We sail on 4/4/16 on Triumph out of NO. I believe they are just repositioning and as mentioned before just taking a small break for minor stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolaguy8 Posted March 10, 2016 #6 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Someone on facebook asked John and this is his response: "Good Morning, John, I understand that the Triumph will be going into dry dock at the end of this month. I will be sailing at the beginning of April and wondering what will be done on the Triumph during dry dock. Thanks! John Heald She will get the following as she has all the 2.0 upgrades already. cheers John Heald Swirls Cherry on Top Gift Shop Renovation Casino Renovation and increased smoke extraction New Whirlpools New Guest Cabin LED TVs Sky Box sports bar Open Deck Teak replacement" Also see it here https://www.face book.com/JohnHeald/posts/1165196266856266 take the space out of the link above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize there would be some refurbishments, renovations, etc.. I'm so excited about this 8 day cruise and this just gives me more to look forward to. Thanks!

margiandmike Posted March 15, 2016 #14 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Seriously....what is the Swirls place and what is Cherry on Top? We are going on the ship in October and would love to know the answer. Also, is there a fish n chips place on the Triumph? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykindaparty Posted March 15, 2016 #16 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Swirls is frozen ice cream/yogurt and cherry on top is a bulk candy store. Not sure about the fish and chips but I don't think so. I am going on April 8th and can check for ya and let ya know what's all on there to eat. [emoji12] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise-kat Posted March 16, 2016 #17 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Sky Box sports bar? I thought they already have a new sports bar from the last upgrade....or is this somewhere new? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margiandmike Posted March 16, 2016 #18 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Thanks guys. I thought all the ships had soft serve 24/7 anyway, but at least this confirms it. Getting ice cream any time he wants was my son's favorite thing on our last cruise. I appreciate you all answering my questions. Thanks for checking on the Fish n Chips, but I think you're right and they don't have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they already have a new sports bar from the last upgrade....or is this somewhere new? :confused: I believe they currently have the EA Sports Bar. So possibly just rebranding that.

HamSammie Posted March 16, 2016 #21 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Sky Box sports bar? I thought they already have a new sports bar from the last upgrade....or is this somewhere new? :confused: The agreement with EA Sports ended in early 2015, so now they are changing those bars back to Carnival branded bars. The changes are being done when ships are dry docked, so some ships could continue to have the EA Sports branded sports bar for a while. For example, the last drydock on the Pride was late 2014, so unless they plan to shut down the bar and renovate during cruises, that ship will continue to have the EA Sports branded bar for at least the next few years.

KCinBAMA Posted March 16, 2016 #23 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I was hoping the ship would support the Carnival Hub app after dry dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
