Carnival Cruise Line - Dry Dock Schedule

Dry dock (also commonly drydock)
Is typically a narrow basin that can be flooded to allow a ship to be floated in, then drained to allow that ship to come to rest on a dry platform. Dry docks are used for the construction, maintenance and repair of ships, boats and other watercraft. Dry docks are typically used in for major repairs and upgrades where it is easier to work on the watercraft while it is physically out of the water. Technological advancements have made use of floating dry docks an option now.
