I have cruised the Caribbean several times before. This time my friend and I were looking for a short cruise escape to de-stress so we took the Conquest 4-day cruise out of Miami knowing it was an old vessel. It was crowded all the time, with long lines at the buffet pizza place, deli station, everywhere. No dress or behavior code whatsoever. It felt like a market-place all day unless you were in ...
I have been on the Conquest four times since September 2021 and i'm booked on her again October 2022. What I love about the Conquest is the old school feel of cruising. Let's start with the crew and the staff. WOW! Best cruise service ever from our room stewards, to our waiters in the restaurants to the FUN SQUAD ! Garry better known as Spicy G and Alana make everything fun. Also our cruise ...
This is my second time on this ship. The first time was in 2017. I was hoping to see some upgrades but there wasn't. This ship is old and dated. The aft part of the ship must have had some sort of a plumbing issue because the entire side of the ship smelled horrendous. So many people were gagging and were nauseous when they passed by there.
The cabin that we had was an Oceanview which was ...
My husband and I don't travel much and don't spend a lot on doing so. We recently decided that life is too short and it was time to see some of the world. We chose this cruise as part of a promotion and that it probably wouldn't have a lot of kids running around. We also liked Carnival's COVID safety protocols and the cruise destinations. Unfortunately, we were highly disappointed. There were ...
Our steward PAN was the absolute best! He Was always there to greet us when we returned to our room, no matter what time of the day it was there with a smile & out of the approx 1700 people on board, he remembered us on a first name basis! He was simply amazing as was Dr. E , DJ tropic, Ivan & Spicey G aka Gary “show me the money”, & everyone else that we crossed paths with. The shows were ...
My husband surprised me with a weekend cruise, which was a really sweet idea. We have been on many cruises but never on Carnival and never a short one like this. I went with an open mind and no pre-set expectations.
He paid a little extra for the AFT balcony because we love them. So, I'll start there. The balcony was very large but also very old. Rust everywhere. The glass panels on the ...
By far the worse cruise I've ever taken, there was no kids club for kids under 5, which was a huge deal for us traveling with a toddler. Also, there were no real shows at all. For 2 nights all we got was just people singing while seated on a tall bar stool, on one night they sang 70s songs and 80s songs for the other. Also, there were almost no onboard activities it got very really fast.
The ...
The first thing was they sent me to customer service because my child was not in an vaccinated exception list that I was never was told about when I talked with them during the reservation, after 2 hours of waiting they told me they can add my child to the list but I need to pay $150 for an antigen test , even when I had a PCR result took from the day before, take that test was 1 hour of more ...
This boat is just plain tired. There is paint on top of paint, curtains don't fit, windows need work, carpet is bad, etc. I realize it takes on a heavy load every week but it is just screaming for some decent care. Even the uniforms were faded...maybe that would help the staff who also appeared to be at the breaking point.
Whatever you do, if you get sick, make sure it is during infirmary ...
We arrived in miami the day before we sailed. We didn't have to wait long before we got on the ship from the time we arrived to getting to our cabin maybe half hour it was really quick. The inside interior cabin was clean and spacious. The food was good and had a great selection our waiter alimin was amazing he had our drinks on the table when he saw us coming. The band was really good. Enjoyed ...
