Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Imagination is to be fitted with various new dining venues and bars during a three-week drydock this September.
Between 4 and 25 September, Carnival Imagination will be fitted with complimentary poolside restaurants BlueIguana Cantina, which serves Mexican food, and Guy’’s Burger Joint, a burger eatery developed in partnership with Food Network personality Guy Fieri. News bars will include the poolside Caribbean-themed RedFrog Rum Bar; the outdoor Mexican-themed BlueIguana Tequila Bar; and the cocktail pharmacy-themed Alchemy Bar. Guests will also be able to enjoy sweets, gifts and custom apparel from Cherry On Top.
Following the makeover, Carnival Imagination will resume her year-round schedule of three- and four-day Baja cruises from Long Beach, California. The three-day cruises depart Thursdays and visit Ensenada while four-day voyages depart Sundays and call at Ensenada and Catalina Island.
“Carnival Imagination provides a convenient, value-packed West Coast cruise option and with these new enhancements we're making this fantastic ship even better," said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. "With three year-round cruise ships sailing from Long Beach, Carnival is the number one cruise line in Southern California and the investment we're making to enhance the Carnival Imagination further bolsters our leadership position in this important market.”
Carnival is the only cruise line to operate three ships year-round from the US West Coast. In addition to Carnival Imagination, Carnival Inspiration operates three- and four-day Baja cruises and Carnival Miracle offers week-long Mexican Riviera voyages.
