Carnival Conquest
Sail date: July 02, 2016
Pros:
lots to do, lots to eat, or just relax and do nothing
variety of shore excusions
Cons:
not all-inclusive... additional costs add up
noise from engines/propellers
overpriced excursions... you pack 15-20 people into a mini-bus at $50+ for what amounts to a very expensive "1.5hr cab ride"
Suggestions:
could do a better job of identifying whats not included
provide menu in advance so we know what's free and what comes with a cost
flag rooms that have potential high levels of noise
discount package pricing for excusions... priced for 1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-9, 10+
Cruise tips
go early and plan time if you want to do multiple things... the beach was great... the bus tour was OK... not much time for leisure walking around if you do a tour and want beach time
Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)
not much to do unless you book a tour... nothing to do on your own besides the beach, everything elase was specific to tours
