Review summary

Overall, it was an amazing experience! The service was excellent, dining was good, and the islands visited were beautiful. The Skymiles excursions were also the best! Tour guides we tout of their way to make it a lasting adventure. We did the Nassau and Atlantis Tour, Ultimate Snorkeling in Grand Turk, and ATVing in Dominic Republic with Bart and Cesar. The DR tour was great!! We rode through a local residential area, private beach, stopped at a farm for fresh brewed coffee, hot cocoa, and smoked the best cigars (all of which were grown there); up to a mountain top where Jurassic Park 1 was filmed, then back down to the private beach for swimming and snorkeling, then one final stop at a residence where I got to hold a parrot and tarantula (conquered my fear, because the way!). I don’t recommend the cruise line excursions because they’re more expensive and have bigger crowds so it makes it less personal and you’re waiting all the time!

Service and Staff

Larry the Legend at the Sports Bar provided phenomenal service! He was very friendly and even made an effort to remember your name and drink every time. He also ensured they aired football games in the bar despite the network limits. He made it happen! He’s Larry the Legend! Also, our steward Eugene was the best! Always kept my room clean and tidy even during our off-routine times of coming and going he always stayed on top of it.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The stateroom was okay in design but very satisfying and comfortable for two. The pillows and bed were like sleeping on clouds despite being two twin beds combined to make a king. The rooms were also very dark so I could sleep for hours. Best sleep I have had in years (night after night)!

Ship tip

Bring a canister or thermal water bottle to keep your drinks cool

MDR isn’t open for lunch any day; breakfast is till around 10 except sea day brunch, which is until 1pm. Tip would be explore all the ship has to offer, and have a fantastic time!

Thanks for the review. We will be first time cruisers on Carnival and we will be on Conquest. Any tips? Was the Main dining room opened for breakfast and lunch on Port days?
