I hope that's true, since my thinking is that if it goes on Fantasy, it'll probably go on Fascination as well, and my cruise on Fascination is getting closer and closer.

 

I know the Carnival site used to list both the Fascination and Fantasy as getting the Taste Bar and the Punchliners brunch, but then suddenly it was removed from the site.

 

At this point, there is no use in fretting. Either it will be there when I get on, or it won't. Either way, I'll still enjoy the cruise. I am looking forward to seeing some different things, and there will definitely be some new things on board either way.

We love the Fantasy and would sail on her anytime. Mach, its good to see you on the boards again.

We just got back on the 14th of Jan...........they informed us that yes Fantasy is headed for dry dock. The website advertises they will have Hasboro games on the ship in Jan of 2013.....we were told that no that won't happen til after drydock

We just got off the Fantasy - last trip before Drydock. They did not appear to be doing any work while we were cruising, other than planning (there were a lot of crew meetings - I think prepping for the work details). Also we did dock at 2:00 a.m. rather than the usual 6:00 a.m. I think they started moving the luggage out early so as to clear the stowage area for items they would load for the drydock. The crew had to be back on board by 11:00 a.m so i assume they are high tailing it out early for the dry dock.

 

I asked a number of crew what was being done in dry dock, and no one really knew. I'm sure if we had asked an officer or cruise director we would have gotten the true story, but didn't get around to it.

 

Certainly seems that there would be room in some old/underutilized areas on promenade deck (such as the cat lounge) for some of the 2.0 improvements - I certainly hope they do so!

 

But we had a great cruise. Love this size ship. Missed the balcony though!

I join the others who think that Fantasy is their favorite ship. While on board in November, our favorite bartender, Larry the Legend, mentioned that they would be adding Red Frog and Blue Iguana. We were on the Dream last week - just got back - and did not enjoy the Punchliner menu or the loud comedy show. It was so loud that you could not carry on a conversation with your table mates. I will miss the normal dining room lunches. The Dream is a larger upgraded Fantasy - same architect - and it was very easy to maneuver. Expected it to be a lot different, but it was a wonderful larger version of our favorite ship. Could not believe that there were that many passengers. Everything was great. Evidently there are only 3 female CD's, and both the Fantasy and the Dream have them. We will see how the upgrade went in May.

We are looking at our fourth trip on the fantasy this September can't wait to see what improvements she gets

Looking forward to my first sailing on the Fantasy! I think I like the smaller ships, and, I can't wait to see what upgrades she gets! Looking forward to all of your posts after she sets sail in February! :D

Fantasy was GREAT! Just as great as she was last January :) From what I understand it is just a general drydock, no real "upgrades" will be added, just regular drydock maintenance being performed. Even so she is a fantastic ship and you will have a great cruise!:D

Just returned from the Fantasy on 2/19. As usual, the crew of the Fantasy was great.

 

Hate to disappoint, but no Blue Iguana Tequila Bar, RedFrog Rum Bar, Taste Bar, or Punchliners Comedy Club Brunch.

 

Dry dock was for routine hotel maintenance: Cosmetic enhancements such as new carpeting, wall coverings, tile work, lighting in lounges and public areas.
