Review summary

Carnival Conquest was by far not my favorite ship to date! We have cruised 6 times and i was not very impressed with this trip at all! Food mediocre at best (not many choices, or at least compared to the other ships we’ve been on)! Entertainment was sparse, comedy show was ok. Service was just okay, and for some reason we had to ask our room steward Jose’ for several things that were standard on the other ships ( like robes, and hand soap for the sink to wash our hands)! We also found a few things in our room that led me to believe that the rooms are not thoroughly cleaned between passengers (some medications left in the closet, a dirty wash cloth in one of the cabinets, and used soap in the shower soap dish)! I had to request several times for my linen to be changed because of severe stains, and this was just the first day!! We did get new carpet installed while we docked on day 3, so that was nice (and clean)! The ship overall is older but seemed only to need minor improvements and maintenance, but common areas seemed clean!! I’m not usually a complainer but cleanliness is non-negotiable! I just had to try and forget the rough start and managed to have fun despite these things! I will definitely cruise again, but I will probably go back to Norwegian ships (no complaints there)!!

I could not agree with you more I’ve been cruising with carnival for years and the service on this boat was definitely very disappointing.

Go to the adult shows, there is trivia every day

That's too bad. We're hoping for a good cruise in March
