Review summary

Disappointed in all the changes in ports visited d/t hurricane complications - not Carnival's fault of course, but the reason we booked it was to visit T&C, Curacao, & Aruba. Ship needs a little updating & freshening up.

Good news is you can re-book the same cruise, just plan a different time of the year.

Absolutely incredible cruise on the Carnival Conquest. Amazing food, drinks and entertainment. Loved the 8 days and would go again in a heartbeat!!!!

Would of been perfect except for the Hurricane and Bad Storm when we returned.
