Pride Drydock

Carnival shows the Pride due for DryDock in 2019. However, on another site a lot of people are saying she is going in for DryDock in March of this year. Can anyone verify either way?

The Carnival Pride is showing a full cruising schedule through 2018. She is currently scheduled for dry dock February 3-16, 2019

Thats correct. I made the mistake of booking to first cruise post dry dock.

Do you know what will be done to her in the dry dock?

When was her last dry dock?

That short a dry dock, it's going to be mostly mechanical and sprucing up. Probably no major changes. Ships have to go in every 5 years for a tune up basically. She had her last dry dock in 2014, so she's right on schedule.

But who knows - they may surprise us ;)

According to Carnival, they will be removing the French doors from the 4K cabins and replacing them with windows, as they have been doing with the Spirit Class ships when they go into dry dock (however, I heard that the Carnival Spirit was spared because the windows arrived to late to install during her recent dry dock).

This is the last time the Pride will be able to go 5 years between drydocks. From now on, she must do it twice in 5 years, so about every 2.5 years (there is a grace window). This happens when a ship turns 15 years old.

Well, last time they put a leaf on David's naughty bits. The nipples in the elevators may be next! Actually, great additions were made last time. Guy's, Blue Iguana, changing the awful Starry Night cigar den into the Red Frog.

It will be interesting to see what they plan on do to the Pride and other Spirit class of ships during the dry dock. I hope they address some things in the staterooms, like USB, all flat screens for all staterooms, etc. Maybe future Pride cruises can ask during the CD or VIFP Q&A gatherings.
