Review summary

Overall, this first cruise was wonderful! The boat was lovely. The ART and decor were very interesting and I loved taking pictures all over the ship. Crew was very welcoming and friendly, dining and food very tasty and many choices, plenty of activities to keep everyone busy and interested. Excursions were great, just wish they were less expensive and all drinks ( not including alcohol) should be included in the package. My favorite port was Half Moon Cay (Bahamas). Very peaceful and beautiful Beach Island. Debarking was very crowded and lengthy. Overall, we had an awesome cruise aboard the Carnival Conquest.

Room/bathroom was always clean and well maintained, including the balcony. Loved the towel animals. Looked forward to which animal Jerry would make for us next.

Ship tip

The decor and ART are beautiful on this ship. The courtesy desk, dining and room staff are warm, welcoming and friendly. This was an awesome trip and I would recommend Carnival (Conquest) to everyone I know.

It rained hard when we were on shore but I did not like the beach and having to pay extra for a chair with umbrella to rest comfortably. Also, the vendors and stores are very pricey. There was not much I enjoyed doing at this Port. If it hadn't been for the excursions: Ziplining and Horseback Riding was fun.

Glad to hear the good review. Your profile doesn't say when you went or where?? What stateroom # were you in. ? We also have a balcony for March.

Thanks for the review. I like a good review. But you do know that the islands make their money on tourism. And well it’s a vacation so enjoy.
