Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Steakhouse was a joke! Service was horrible and food was worse! Lobster bisque was discusting, had to be rancid! Cut of ribeye was so gristly (not fat) only had about 4 bites of meat. When complained the hostess tried to smooth it over by saying ribeye was 30% fat ... seriously ? Don’t eat at the Steakhouse on the Conquest!!!! Main dining room was far better and our wait staff was awesome-thank you Teresa! You saved my dining experience!

Show was definitely just okay. Saw first night and decided to watch live band in the atrium lounge. The piano bar was entertaining .

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Room steward was attentive as well as wait staff. Pool attendant had a sour look on her face everyday like she didn’t want to be there. Bar tenders were good as well.

Ship Quality

It’s a cruise ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

Let’s start by when I first got on the ship. Our room has not been clean from the previous cruise. I Lysol wiped countertops in the room and they were filthy with make up dust and whatever else the previous people left. There was money literally thrown in the toilet, and the duvet covers were so disgusting. The bathroom sink did not drain and there were spots all over the mirror. That’s how my cruise started. Got an apology from supervisor and guest services did call to see if things had been cleaned up. Bad taste in my mouth for rest of cruise!!

Ship tip

Choose a newer ship, this one is showing its age!

I agree Conquest isnt a great ship. Its was just ok for me compared to other carnival ships I've been on. The food was horrible. I disagree about the steakhouse though we went twice its was so good to us. The service was meh. Never once saw the room steward, room wasn't as clean as it could have been but I always touch up anyway. I wont cruise the Conquest again I'll try another ship Instead

Yes, don’t know what either one of you are talking about. We were on the Conquest in March and loved it. It is an older ship but they keep it very well maintained and clean. Was very pretty. Check out the 5th deck, the Sunflower Atrium. Beautiful. Even the cabins and hallways with the lights they had all around the cabin walls and along the bottom of the hallway . Our cabin was in the perfect location and the air conditioner and plumbing all worked fine. We were able to open the balcony with my daughters family’s cabin and have 1 big balcony. The MDR food was delicious as well as the Deli, Guys burgers and the pizza. Only used the buffet sometimes for salad and desserts. Shows weren’t that great but we loved all the ports . Loved loved loved the Conquest. Would love to go back.

Agreed ship is not maintained compared to the rest of the fleet. Actually it seems to me that carnival isn’t maintaining most of the ships very well if I cruise carnival I try to take only newer ships
