Review summary

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I would enjoy the cruise. The food was excellent and there were so many options. In 5 days, we still weren't able to enjoy all of the food choices. The cocktails were excellent. Customer service was superb. Every staff member we encountered was happy, helpful, courteous, respectful and extra attentive. Take plenty of sunscreen if you'll be cruising during the hot summer season. I also suggest using the carnival Hub App to communicate with your cruising mates. It was so helpful in finding and catching up with friends. It's been one week since we returned home and I'm ready to go back on our next cruise! Relax, eat and drink well, sit back and have fun!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The cabin was way bigger than i thought it would be with lots of space for storage. We unpacked our luggage and put our clothes away in the drawers, on the shelves and used the hangers in the closet to hang up dressy garments.

Ship tip

Bring motion sickness medication and outlet extenders(small one.. do not purchase the extender with usb option because it is too big to plug into the space given)

Thanks for the great review, was doubting myself for booking the Conquest after reading some of the negative reviews. But on the other hand cruising isn't for everyone, and I honestly believe it's what you make of it

I am glad you had a good time. I wasn't sure if I'd like cruising either. It sure gets you.!!!! I would go at least once a month if I could.
