Review summary

This is my third cruise and it was great!. The service was excellent. Our cabins were always perfect and our dining staff was was a great team. We had Robin, Ivana, and a young lady that goes by Maria. We did have a glitch in that on the first night, we were not all seated at the same table-the head staff at the restaurant corrected this for night 2. The excursions were fun-however i did not like that if you came back from an excursion past 2:30-there were very few places to grab a snack till dinner, what options were available, had a horribly long line. Also, i slipped and fell just outside the restroom on one of the decks-i ended up spraining my ankle-this certainly took away from my cruise experience. However the medical staff was nice and helpful should you need them..

the beach is absolutely gorgeous!! soft sand to walk in and in the water as well. If you don't like to bake in the sun, get there early to get a clamshell. Ship provides lunch-very nice

I was also getting nervous after reading some of these reviews. I will be sailing out on the Conquest on June 4th. I'm really looking forward to it now.

Thanks for the review. I'll be on her for my 1st cruise on May 22nd. I have no idea what to expect. Trying to not let the bad reviews scare me.

Thanks for easing my mind some...it's funny how a couple bad reviews can sway someone's opinion and have so much impact on your vision of something....they were probably just disgruntled passengers who didn't get treated like royalty every second of their cruise

I just got off the ship on Saturday and it was a great week the food was good and the ship was fine. The only problem was the toilet not work right I had to call for service 5 times and they were there to take care of it. They said they were have a problem with the toilets other wise it was great. I enjoyed it

Glad to see a good rave about the Conquest. I've seen a few recent reviews of the Conquest as being a "dump" of a ship. I hope not since we are leaving May 28th on the Conquest.
