Review summary

The Crew, for the most part, were courteous and friendly. The restaurants food was tasty and enjoyable; so were the other eating stations. We felt that the bars took up too much deck space not allowing enough shaded areas to relax. We asked for early dining time but had to wait for the second night to get it. The ship was noisy and we had to request another state room. The quest service person was difficult to deal with and actually sent someone to the room to listen for the noise. The last night of the cruise was especially noisy with banging and clinging sounds even after our move from deck 2 to deck 8. The shore excursion at Grand Turk did not live up to expectations but the one at La Romana did.

Ship Quality

The ship was an older ship and showed its age: cracking, chipped paint; worn and faded around the windows.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

The cabin was extremely noisy-not so bad the first few nights. The noise stopped after about 15-20 minutes. But on 9/8 the banging, clinging, and loud booms started at 10: 54. We called guest services and finally were moved to another cabin at 2 am. My husband had to go get the room keys, we packed up and moved ourselves. The other comments are covered in the first box.

We just got home today from our 7 days on Conquest. It was wonderful. Sure there were kids, it's carnival! But the adult pool was there if you wanted away from kids, I had a few issues, but nothing that would take away any of the 5 stars. I will say the salad at the pizza place tasted like fish, that was the only thing that was not good. Steakhouse was delicious, and we did Chefs Table one night which was spectacular.

mytime- I think they're referring to the beautiful free beach at GT. it's right at the pier. There are free lounges you can use and it's literally right there. You'll love it. Enjoy!

Should have done beach time at grand turk,its free and fun. What was the noise you heard? We were on deck 9 for 8 night cruise and it was quite. We were on the conquist during school holidays but it was not out of control.
