jdoc2010 Posted September 14, 2017 #51 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I will be sailing her on October 16th. I am hoping what John Heald announced holds true about Alchemy Bar being added to the Elation dry dock list of upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc4me Posted September 14, 2017 Author #52 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I don't really understand what the big secret is and why they won't reveal ALL upgrades that will be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosemanatee Posted September 15, 2017 #53 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I don't really understand what the big secret is and why they won't reveal ALL upgrades that will be done. I agree. They should at least give some hints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllWeDoIsCruise Posted October 3, 2017 #62 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Aft balconies and the brand new Waterworks are coming together very nicely! She even just got a brand new painted name! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzinKittie Posted October 3, 2017 #63 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Does anyone know where she is being dry docked at? We saw a ship that looked a lot like her in Freeport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwjax Posted October 3, 2017 #64 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Does anyone know where she is being dry docked at? We saw a ship that looked a lot like her in Freeport. Freeport is where most of Carnival's ships go for dry dock. I think the dry dock is partially, if not wholly owned by Carnival. It probably was the Elation, but she may have been moved to wet dock lately to allow other scheduled ships to get to the dry dock. I am not sure which ship is due for Oct. dry dock?

Aim1 Posted October 3, 2017 #65 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Elation is still in dry dock, Conquest is currently in wet-dock and the Celestial Crystal has squeezed in wherever they can fit her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllWeDoIsCruise Posted October 3, 2017 #66 Share Posted October 3, 2017 There are some great pictures of some of the updates if you have Instagram that a lot of the workers are posting, you can find them by searching #CarnivalElation...Just in case anyone would like to see.

CruzinKittie Posted October 3, 2017 #67 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I went and looked at the pictures on Insta and yes we did see Elation while we were in Freeport. I know because there's a tiny little boat beside it in the picture and that one was there Sunday. When we were there, there was also a very large, nicer looking Carnival boat to the left of those two. That may be the Crystal but you can't see the names while they are in DD.

MeetMeAtTheBar Posted October 3, 2017 #69 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Here is a side by side of some before and after pics of the Elation stern. Haven't been on a cruise in 11 years & our last was on Elation. Looking forward to seeing the updates in person mid Nov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aim1 Posted October 3, 2017 #70 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I know the extra chunk of steel on the stern is there, I'm guessing, to provide extra stability because of the weight of the new balconies etc, but I wish they would paint it! Every picture I've seen has been bare steel and it doesn't make it look pretty! :') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums We’ll be on the first leg with you👍🏻 I’m so excited to see the finished product too! Years ago I read on here to never book the first cruise before a dry dock or the two cruises after it was supposed to be finished. So glad I took that advice this time!

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Medic, From seeing these pictures of the work being done during dry dock, I am guessing that you either know someone on the ship or somehow found these pictures , can you please try to find out if the alchemy bar is being installed? These upgrades look great. can't wait to see them in person in 6 weeks. Keep the pics coming. Love getting the sneak preview. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is going to be an alchemy bar, it is apparently one of Carnival's most closely guarded secrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
