CARNIVAL LIBERTY back from shipyard stay

Preceded by an unscheduled shipyard change from Cádiz to Marseille

Marseille/Miami – The cruise ship CARNIVAL LIBERTY departed the Chantier Naval de Marseille shipyard on June 30 and is preparing to resume regular service with voyages to the Western Caribbean on July 6. The ship’s stay in the shipyard was marked by an unforeseen change of plans due to a strike.

The CARNIVAL LIBERTY was originally scheduled for extensive class work, technical maintenance, and comprehensive upgrades to the passenger areas and cabins at the Navantia Cádiz shipyard in Spain. However, a strike that broke out there made rapid progress impossible.

As a result, the ship was withdrawn from Cádiz and instead transferred to the Chantier Naval de Marseille shipyard in France. There, the necessary work continued as planned and has now been completed. The quick response and transfer made it possible to avoid major delays to upcoming schedules.

Passengers can look forward to a freshly serviced and partially renewed ship when the CARNIVAL LIBERTY sets sail for the Western Caribbean from her home port on Sunday, July 6.
