Review summary

My party and I weren't unhappy about the ports of call however the carnival conquest its self. The food was undercooked my daughter got food poisoning, and the food always arrived to us cold and service in the dinning too 6pm seating was very poor/slow. He has too many tables with too many people at them. 

The shows were impossible to watch because the smoke/fog they used cause me and many other family members to have difficult breathing. And we don't have breathing conditions. 

My suites toilet overflowed the last day and we were only discounted 135 $$ and we're forced to sleep in a room that smelled and wasn't clean. Basically slept in urine and bowl movement infested carpet. 

We arrived the first day and found trash in the cabinets, under the beds, in the garbage cans and found rotten food in the refrigerators in multiple cabins. 

There was never a drink server around when you wanted a drink and tables were always dirty with dirty dishes on them. I sat one day and saw 1 table not get cleaned/picked up or whipped down for 3 hours!!!! So disappointed due to this being a cruise that I got married on and had many family members with me and they all had the same bad experiences. It ruined my wedding my vacation and my honeymoon 😔

Everything was great with our room up until our toilet overflowed and soaked our entire carpeting with poop and P water . They would not give us a new room and we had to sweep smelling it and walking on it it was completely unsanitary

Ship tip

If you run into a problem and expect them to give you good customer service good luck .

I'm bummed I don't have 3 hours on my vacation to stare at a unclean table!

We were on the Conquest back in October. The cruise was excellent from start to finish. It exceeded my expectations. I hope your next cruise is equally as wonderful as mine.

Congratulations on your wedding. I wasn't impressed with the Conquest at all either. It was my first cruise and was going to be my last until I let someone talk me into sailing the Magic. I loved it. Now on to my third. Don't let one stinking, bummy ship turn you off.

I'm sorry you had that experience on the Conquest. We were just on that ship in March and loved it
