Review summary

Where do I start? First of all, I had a beautiful time aboard the lovely Carnival Conquest Cruise Ship. Room: I stayed in statesroom 2-293 (ocean view room) it was very spacious and clean. Our room steward, Seichon, did a wonderful job coming through every evening and cleaning our cabin. They even gifted my fiancé a $50 spa credit in celebration of his birthday (we didn’t use it, the spa is incredible expensive). I just loved to see the new towel animals every day. The room comes with shampoo and body wash so no need to bring your own, it also comes with a blow dryer. Food: I’ve read a lot of reviews with people complaining about the food quality, but I have no complaints. I thought the food was yummy and well-seasoned. I usually ate lunch in the buffet and dinner in the Renoir restaurant. My favorite selection in the buffet was the chef’s choice whereby each day there’s a different theme, the themes I remember were Italian, American and Caribbean. The elegant night was during sea day and the food was AMAZING. I had a crab cake and shrimp cocktail for the appetizer and some kind of spiral mushroom pasta for the entree and I thoroughly enjoyed both. I’ve heard the prime rib was great (wish I had gotten that as the pasta was also served in the buffet 😕.. but oh well, hindsight is 20/20). Activities: There is SOOOO much to do aboard the ship, seriously! There’s no way you can get it all done in one day so don’t try to stretch yourself thin trying to attend everything. Every night your steward will give you a pamphlet with all the activities going on the following day, my advice is to read through it and circle the ones you absolutely want to attend (or you can favorite it on the Carnival HUB app-which will send your reminders before the event starts). I loved watching movies on the deck, going to the comedy shows, watching cruisers sing karaoke, and the live music. Embarking/Disembarking It was literally so easy, organized and quick! Took maybe 30minutes to embark the ship, and half the time to disembark the ship. My suggestion for those who have an early flight back out, carry your bag out (do not check it the night before) so that way you can walk right off the ship and go through customs.. and voila you’re out and on your way to the airport. We embarked the ship around 11am, statesroom did not become available until 1:30pm so most people went to eat at the buffet so seating was very hard to come by. My advice would probably be to embark the ship at or after 1:30pm, so that you can go right to your room and sit down your carry on bag, then proceed to the buffet to eat, that should save you time on waiting in line to grab food and hunt for a table to eat at. Last words: My ONLY complaint came the first night. We were celebrating my fiancé and mother’s birthday, so I bought a cake online to be delivered the first night to our table at the restaurant. Once I got settled in, I even went to the restaurant to make sure that they had the cake and knew to sing to my fiancé and mother, they ensured me that everything would be ready when we came. Midway through our dinner, the waiter came straight to my mother and asked her did she want the cake tonight (she had no idea about the surprise so she was very confused and responded by saying “no thank you”.. I had to interject and tell him that yes we would like the cake tonight which ruined the surprise). But that’s even a small complaint. Absolutely download the Carnival HUB app, it will save you a lot of time of headache. You can see the photos that were taken of you aboard (and purchase from there), you can check your account to keep and eye on how much you’ve spent, you can also dining tones, and all the activities going on.

Do you still have the menus? I don’t like seafood and the last cruise I went on I struggled finding something in the main dining room. Would be great if I could decide in advance
