Review summary

We had a fabulous vacation!! There were nine of us total one disabled and Carnival really stepped up to help us. The staff were very kind and attentive. We really enjoyed pizza pirate and the taco bar. The ship needs to create more ways of disabled people to get around. Some elevators took you mid ship and we had to walk to the other side of the ship to get on those elevators to get the wheelchair to the upper floors. But overall we had a great time. Not sure if I would go back on the Conquest but definitely would go on Carnival again.

Embarkation

Embarkation was relatively easy. WE purchased faster to the fun and not to mention our flight was late by 1hour so when arrived most guest were on board. But it was great going straight to our cabin.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We mainly dined in the main dining room, the Monet to be exact. It was wonderful! The staff was pure joy. The food was good but the experience was fabulous. We dined at The Point Steakhouse the first night and the food was awesome and that free bottle of red wine was nice too.

Ship Quality

We went on the Conquest. The ship is in poor condition. They need some upgrading.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Our cabin was nice and clean but very warm. Our air conditioner wasn't working properly and our sink faucet was going hot water. Good thing we took a fan

Ship tip

My one tip would be take plenty of singles so you could tip the people that help you the most. Take a portable fan just in case its to warm in your cabin, also book in the middle of the ship if youexperience sea sickness. We didn't feel a thing, plus we started taking out our medication 72 hours in advance to the sailing.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

We didn't have any problems with Ft. Lauderdale airport. Same as any other.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We had a fabulous time here. We booked a day pass at the British Colonial Hilton and it was the best decision that we made. Beautiful private beach, no crowds, good food and drinks and good service.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Loved this port. We were the only ship there and it was great! We dined at the BBQ by Carnival which was fabulous. they have lots of restrooms and trails that you could explore.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
I will rate this port excellent because we got to meet Topher the dog and we ate the best jerk chicken at jacks Shack. Also the water near the shack is a lot cleaner too. There is not much to do but shop, swim and party. the people at the beach are very helpful, the only thing I didn't like was that you have to rent the chairs in front of the shore for 10 dollars a piece. but no worries that have plenty of free chairs in the back to go around.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Very long process but we understand the logic of it. your have thousands of passengers getting off and going through customs.
