Review summary

my family and I had wonderful time on this cruise.  I hated to leave!  the ship facilities were clean and efficient.  the food was good to very good. the service was excellent, they all tried very hard .  in fact, all of the ship's crew were helpful and nice.  the ports of call were interesting and a lot fun.  we wished the port stops were longer.  5 hours at grand turk was not long enough. the weather, which cannot be reviewed, was ok, but the there was plenty to do and (and not to do :).  two  minor complaints would be lunch was ok, food was plentiful but spread out around the middle part of the ship.  by the time I got what I wanted, found a seat, and a drink, the food was luke warm, not hot and average tasting.  they should have a sit down lunch available because the breakfast and dinner were excellent.  the other minor complaint would be not to allow children under 10 in the hot tub.  several 3-6 year olds were in them on a constant basis and doing laps in the hot tub, cute but annoying after a while, not mention the peeing possibility.  there are 3 decent size pools besides the 3 or 4 hot tubs.  the shows at night were fun and entertaining . the movies on deck were also fun and unique to watch a movie outdoors.  I brought my 2 kids 13 and17, did not allow them to have wi-fi and they still had a really good time!  we spent a lot of time together and that alone was worth the trip!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

as mentioned above, the food quality was very good not excellent. some things were much better than others. breakfast in the dining room and desserts were excellent.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I was pleased that we weren't bombarded with poolside activities which is where I go to relax. mostly, the activities were in the ship. there were plenty

Entertainment

5 out of 5
great effort on all the shows and they were entertaining

Service and Staff

high marks. I have sailed on other lines and they seemed disinterested. the conquest staff all seemed concerned and caring.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
first time I ever had a balcony and I will never cruise again without one. overall the room was clean and easy to stay in (and on the balcony;)

Ship tip

if you like wine and are in a balcony, buy a bottle or 2 beforehand (you are allowed 1 bottle of wine per person in your carryon) and sit back and enjoy on your balcony. you are also allowed
