Review summary

This was our first cruise. Overall it was great! The ship seems a little old, which you can tell if you look around with a closer eye. Cleaning staff is super friendly and make an effort to know you by name. Every time we saw IMADE he greeted us by our names and was always asking if everything was to our liking. Waiting staff in the restaurants are a little pushy. I understand that they need to service several people as quickly and efficiently as possible, but allowing those who chose the "your time dining" want to enjoy their dining experience instead of feeling rushed out. Our room was comfortable and always clean! We loved the towel animals that were put out daily. Decor was a little expired and the coral color along the ceiling was hard on the eyes but it was still cozy. We'll be booking with Carnival again but probably not the Conquest.

Explanation of how the "your time dining" option works for first timers would make it less stressful to figure out which restaurant to go to.

IMADE and his assistance are the hardest working group of people I have ever met!!

Ship tip

Ask questions, even if it sounds stupid! We could have avoided stress our first night if we had simply asked someone how the "your time dining" option worked. Instead we were at the wrong restaurant, then on the wrong floor, then had to wait as so many people were already seated.

Lol on the coral ceilings, I know what you mean. That's for the review. With your time dining what seems to work is if you like you wait staff keep asking to be seated with them, your service gets better as they get to know you, but take a night or two to find the right waiter, and a tip can't hurt either lol.

I really do appreciate your opinion, I knew it was your first cruise from reading your post. I like getting opinions from cruisers with all range of experience ..... And your post was pretty positive soo use your freedom of speech.

From the looks of it you have only been on 1 cruise so reality of it you have nothing to compare it to. And if you have looked on this app you can the ship stats you would know how old size etc.

Is that the only reason you wouldn't go Conquest again... the rushed dining experience? Or was there other things that make you want to upgrade next time?
