Review summary

Feel bad that we couldn't visit Half Moon Cay due to hurricane devastation. The visit to the private beach at Grand Turk that was highly recommended by Carnival turned to be a very stony one and was very hard to walk on even with beach shores on. Snorkeling of course was eliminated due to some waves. We were promised through our booking agent at that an anniversary cake for us as well as a birthday cake in our party will be made but it never materialized. I have gone to customer service and they informed me that no such requests were made. In addition, when I made the booking for 6 couples, I have asked to have a seating arrangement for all on one table, instead they gave us 2 separate tables for 6 people on each. We have stated our dissatisfaction and next day we were offered such  in another restaurant. Entertainment wasn't that great with switches made for FLINT show that was pushed to the last day and that was the better of the other ones. The decibel level in most shows is generally very high and quite irritating to the ears. The food was good with fair variety in the buffet but very limited in the main seating restaurants. This is the first time that I see charges for certain food items and some casual drinks in the offered menu.

Hahahahaha!!!! Complain to your travel agent you idiot! Your complaining about getting shafted by the wrong person. Learn how to plan a vacation yourself and stop being lazy!

So your agent didn't make your requests and you're mad at Carnival. Go give him/her a 2 star rating not the Conquest.

The beach down by jacks shack is not rocky. We spent all day there in the water.

The conch area is near Gibbs Cay and on a different side of the island that some of the other snorkeling excursions...makes a difference if you are leeward....calm

I think I would change travel agents. I hope you continue to cruise, and enjoy!

We were on the same cruise and heard from others that their snorkeling was cancelled in Grand Turk, but we booked the excursion that went snorkeling for conch and we got to snorkel all around a gorgeous coral reef. Must be the difference in companies running the excursions. So sorry you missed out on that.
