Review summary

The trip was okay. We tried to make the best out of a bad situation. We won't travel on the Conquest again due to the AC problems and the roughness of the cruise. Also, the comedy shows was disappointing that we were unable to get in to see them. We was only able to get a seat 1 time during the entire duration of the cruise. There was a constant line and the people from the previous shows was not getting up and going out to let others back in. I feel like the comedy shows should be in the big theatre because this was very upsetting since it is one of our favorite things to do onboard.

Our cabin was always clean. We had an amazing stuartist, Waiyan. However, our cabin was extremely hot and was almost unbearable. We had maintenance come and check our AC to make sure it was working properly which they said that it was. We still was unable to sleep in our cabin comfortably due to this issue.

Ship tip

This ship had to have been the rockiest ship we have been on yet. There wasn't any relief from the swaying due to the ship being so out of date.

It rained the whole day we were here and we were unable to enjoy the beach that we took a taxi to. As soon as we arrived on the beach we were bombarded by locals trying to sell any and all kinds of illegal drugs. They even tried to sell us chairs that belonged to the resort that was not up for rent. Also, the only restroom on the beach charged money to use. Was just disappointed in the day here.

On November 10th we will be our third time on The Conquest. Never had a problem with the AC unless you have the door open to the balcony. People need to do their homework about the smoothest part of the ship. all the ships have stabilizers that helps keep the ship from rocking. People need to get to the comedy shows early to get seats. don't wait until the last minute and then expect to find a seat it is limited. I'm calling BS on you and this evaluation. You don't even have your profile filled out. 0 cruises for the past and 0 cruises for the future.
