Very cool. Glory did feel a bit dated in October though we enjoyed the ship quite a lot. I'm curious to see some reviews of the upgrades. We would certainly consider sailing her again with a little refresh.

Thought is that Waterworks would be complete by end of drydock, right? I'm always amazed how much they can get done during these "time outs." We sail 4/15/17

 

It will likely be during that time because that's when they will have the most time to do such a big task. During dry dock they have hundreds of people from all over the world working 24 hours for 2 weeks. These workers live on another cruise ship for that time that is docked nearby

I think they should do the area where the current slide is. The pool in that area was barely used the whole week when were on the ship in January. That area could use a refresh. Doing that would also enable them to keep the current Serenity and aft pool area intact as well.

We could assume that it would be, but the next several sailings after dry dock also normally seems to have work going on too. Just because the dry dock is finished does necessarily mean that the w

So when a ship is in dry dock where do they get this other cruise ship for the workers to stay on and why can't they stay on the one they are working on?

 

In all the years I have cruised I just assumed they stayed on the same ship. Doesn't make much sense to me but I am sure the cruise lines have their reasons.

I was thinking the same thing. It was the same way on Valor with that pool. It was only kids in that pool anyways and they should be removing the old slide so I think that is where it should go too!

I went to this site on carnival

https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1392/~/fun-ship-live-webcams

 

There is another link on that page that you click on. It brings up a map of all the carnival ships. You just click on the ship and the little icon of the webcam.

 

I just saw it from another link. That's surprising because I thought there was a cruise going on right now but I guess not. I know their will be a cruise leaving Saturday which will be the last one before dry dock.

I am on this cruise next week, and I will admit that I am not happy about this at all. People plan and spend too much for things like this to interfere with their vacations. ....even if it is a perceived inconvenience....which this probably will not only be. I understand that these cruise operators must upgrade their ships from time to time, but the paying passengers should not have to deal with these types of disruptions. Carnival should take this ship out of service, at the end of a trip and schedule the time needed to complete the upgrades/repairs, etc. and then put it back in service. The ship should not be under any type of construction/upgrade during a cruise. Really?

I think it's interesting how this type of small thing draws so much ire. How can you be sure your cruise wasn't discounted to account for this? Would you be furious if you went to a resort on land and one small facility was being repaired or replaced? I assure you that your cruise price would be much HIGHER if Carnival had to remove the ship from service for an additional week (each sailing is millions of dollars in revenue) in order for NOTHING to be disrupted for any sailing. I would understand if all of the pools were closed, or the entire casino was closed, as these are draws for people. But I highly doubt that this slide was anyone's decision maker.

Quite honestly, mrak, take your trolling somewhere else, but if you must hang around, know that you have no idea what you are talking about. But, hey... thanks for your completely uninformed comments.

 

 

 

LOL trolling? Uninformed? I've actually provided some valuable information in this thread about this very topic. The reason someone looked at the webcam and saw the slide was dismantled is because I started a thread called "Look at Glory's webcam" I'm just saying, you're on a cruise! Don't let a silly slide take away from your vacation that will surely be great, even without the slide. Attitude is everything!

#1. I did not get my info from you about this issue.#2. The slide....at least for me is not the issue. It is having a construction area/zone on a cruise ship where you plan to relax...or enjoy a vacation. Some may not have it as good as you..playa!

 

 

Apparently lol. Give me a chair to relax in, some music to listen to, and put a drink in my hand and I'm happy. Can't let small stuff ruin my vacation. Hope your cruise is great.
