Review summary

Sooo just off the Conquest a few hours ago. I will say I can understand some of the less flattering posts I read before cruising. Don’t jump on me. Just giving my honest opinion of our experience. There were 17 of us total. Embark/Disembark ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the time we stepped out of our Uber to when we were on the ship in line for a burger was about 20 min. 😳 IKR! So smooth and friendly. The lines getting off moved quickly and it also was an easy transition. Stateroom/Cleanliness ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had Randy. He was very attentive and helped with anything we needed. The only downside which isn’t really that bad was that they were still cleaning our room when we went to get our keys and you could clearly see a few things that still needed attention but he quickly corrected it. Everywhere we looks someone was cleaning. Our balcony was great and all of our needs were met. Food - Not main dining room ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Guys was great. The Blue Iguana was delicious. Everything was fresh and sooo yummy. Went to the Chef’s table. It was out of this world. Also went to the steakhouse. Service was beyond exceptional. Food was good for the price. Buffet was good. No complaints. Food looked fresh, smelled amazing, and tasted pretty good overall Food-Main dining room (Monet lower) ⭐️⭐️ We were really disappointed in the dining experience and I get that there are hundreds of other people eating at the same time but the service was so slow and 2 nights our food came cold or not complete with everything we ordered. There were multiple nights that we asked for a condiment and it was brought after we were finished eating. Another night we got our food so late they were just taking our dessert order and they were preparing for the next meal setting. We chose to eat on the Lido bc we knew it would be faster and we could actually get what we wanted. The servers were nice but when half your table has food and then 20 min later the others get theirs or you watch every table around you get served and your waiting 20+ minutes for menus... just disappointing. But again I’m sure some of you had great experiences and I’m glad so don’t jump down my throat. Ours was just okay. Entertainment ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Flick was incredible. All of the effects and illusions. I was in awe. The rest was just okay. I was expecting more I guess. Some of the dancing was great but some of the singing was 😣. Again just my opinion. LSB was anything but. It was more like a twerk-a-thon. At least the first round. Didn’t watch the rest. Loved the trivia and the dance parties. So much fun! Matt is a gem! Ports Princess Cay/Grand Turk ⭐️⭐️ Not really worth getting off the island. Thanks for the tip about the chairs. They tried to make us pay. Water was kinda gross of the right side of the walk. Curaçao/Aruba ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing! Food to the sights to the incredible beaches. Would love to go back directly to Aruba and stay. Just breathtaking. Wish we would have stayed at the beach longer. We know next time though. Again just my take on this wonderful 8 days. It is what you make it. Somethings you can’t control.

We went on the conquest last year we had the same experience but we did find that if you buy the fast to fun pass you will have your room faster .

Excellent balanced review. Because you pointed out the good and not as good, the controllable and uncontrollable, I take it to be very valuable. Thank you.
