Cruise ships are like floating cities, and just like any city, they need regular maintenance to keep everything running smoothly. This is where dry docks come in. A dry dock is when a cruise ship is taken out of the water for repairs, upgrades, and sometimes a big makeover. Carnival Cruise Line, one of the most popular cruise companies, has a busy dry dock schedule for 2025 and 2026, including the upcoming Carnival Magic dry dock, which is one of the most anticipated refurbishments.
