Creator's Key Takeaways

The Carnival Encounter recently completed a very brief wet dog in Melbourne.

In Carnival's defense, I don't mind the new branding on the funnel, especially when it's lit up at night.

The blue room has also been rebranded to Piano Bar 88, which is one of the most noticeable Carnival brand changes on the Carnival Encounter.

Other than these small changes, there's really not a lot to add as the Carnival Encounter is essentially the same ship as before.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Expect minimal changes on the Carnival Encounter after its recent wet dock.
Be aware that pizza, burgers, and ice cream come at an extra cost due to existing contracts.
