We were just on her for 8 nights and never smelled anything bad. The food in the MDR was great, Blue Iguana, Guys, Pizza and Fish and Chips were great. Maybe the buffet could improve but that's why we don't eat at the buffet. Service was top notch! Sorry your experience was less than expected.

I never smelled anything. The ship was exactly like the previous ships I sailed on with carnival so based on my experience it was not in dire need of anything.

Forgot to mention I never smelled any of the so called stench anywhere ever.

Where exactly was the stench? The whole ship can't reek so help people select their cabin areas by letting them know the location of the stink.

I just got off the Conquest 3 weeks ago. Our 2nd time on her. I agree it is in dire need of a refurb. But the food, service, and entertainment was great. Way better than Royal.

I just spent 9 days on the conquest and have no complaints. Good food and service was great. I didn't have a meal that wasn't great. Went to the dining room for breakfast, brunch and dinner. Steak house was great too.

I give credence to the majority of reviews. If there are only a small number of unsatisfied cruisers then I figure they consist of the hard to please crowd.

I never trust a review where they claim to cruise a lot and they promote a different cruiseline.

I had a great time on carvinal ship , yes the ship is older, but I bet you chose the ship because the cruise was cheaper. Food wasn't bad on the conquest either.

I'm guessing you don't cruise that much to not know princess is carnival 😐

Just cruised the Conquest in January and had a great time. The ship is getting older and the food was great. Sorry you had a bad time.
