I just heard on another site that the Spirit was going to be dry docked three weeks prior to the Jan 18 sailing and was getting a make over, even new bedding?? Has anyone else been able to conferm this? Just curious.

It already happened between her west to east Panama Canal cruise and the first sail of the season out of Miami on Dec 6.

Well if it happened then my definition of refurbished and theirs are two different meanings. Ship looks like she has been beat to hell and back I think.

I agree with you Moonglws4u.
What a big difference from the first time I went on the Spirit in 2001.
Most disappointing, and if they put new mattress in the cabins they forgot to put them in ours. One of the mattress was sagging in the middle. They need to invest some of Carnivals money into buying new towels for their guests, and please soft ones or use a better fabric softner. Food well we won't go into that all I can say is they can use a new chef.
And after posting all the things we should bring to prevent getting ill from germs. I came home with a rash on the side of my face, which later spread to my leg....guess I must have rubbed my leg after touching my face.....Anyway after going to the skin doctor to find out what the rash was, I did and it was ringworm.....I have a cat and had it checked no ringworm....So all I can think of is I may have gotten it on the ship in the casino while playing the slots, or by using the cabin phone which I used a lot.
There must have been someone on board that had ringworm and touched the slots.
There goes my theory of keeping healthy on a cruise by using lysol,etc.

Geeze, now your scaring the %$#& out of me. Is it really that bad? I've sailed on the Legend last year Spirit's sister ship, and it was beautiful. How can it be that bad after not even 3 years? Please tell me something here to put my mind at ease. I'm bringing some friends with on there first cruise 1/18/04 on the Spirit ,and would really hate to disapoint them.I thought I made a good choice when picking the spirit.

skirat201,
Sorry I put bad thoughts into your head about the Spirit, but after raving about this ship to my kids and the other in-laws, and having them go along on our cruise and then hearing that the only thing they liked better about the Spirit (We were on the Legend 12/2002) was the decor.....They enjoyed the Legend much better as far as the food, service & entertainment (disco etc) The only thing about the Legend that we all did not like was there were too many gold urns.....
Well I am back with the Imagination in Mar. with a friend of mine (her first cruise) and I think I may be switching to another line after this one. We are doing the 4 nighter just to get away for the weekend and to celebrate our birthdays....
I hope you enjoy your cruise and let's hear your opinion about the ship.
Bon Voyage,
