Conquest is a great ship! Everyone is super friendly. The itinerary is fantastic and if I did it again would have plenty of other things to see at the same stops. Highly recommend.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Dining room staff was fabulous as was the food. Alchemy Bar and Piano Bar were faves. Buffet was typical cruise buffet but rarely ate it. Did sit down breakfast every morning and it was heavenly.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Chairs and pools were crowded as usual.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
Wish they did different shows on different ships. Once you've seen them you've seen them. The violins and the calypso music are so high pitch they give a headache after 10 minutes. Need to get some variety.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
My steward called me by name every time he saw me after just one meeting. Room service was prompt and friendly. Bar tenders were all fun.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
You could tell it was an older ship but was mostly well maintained. One of the prettier ships I've been on. Loved all the artist areas and decor.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
This was a handicap accessible room and laid out a bit different from any I've been in. I would not want more than 2 people in it but perfect for my daughter and I . We are not in the room much anyway and like the dark and quiet at night. It was kept clean and if we ever had a problem it was quickly corrected.
Ship tip
Go to the dining room for breakfast!! So much better than buffet and available everyday.
My daughter said Grand Turk was boring but it was one of my favorite. Beach was gorgeous and completely chill vibe. We just walked down the beach to Jack's Shack and got chairs and an umbrella. Did not get crowded til later in the afternoon so we were able to just float in the ocean, tan in peace, and enjoy some drinks and jerk chicken.
We did a city tour once off the ship. It was $25 each and on a nice air conditioned bus. Took us to many points we would not have been able to walk to. Saw the forts and then got dropped off at the shopping area. Made an easy down hill walk back to "umbrella street" and the ship. Gorgeous city, just too much to see without transportation.
My daughter will not do lifts so we did another taxi tour to be able to see the sights. It stopped at several places for pictures, Magens Bay, and finished on Mountain Top where we shopped and had a daiquiri. Everything seemed really over priced and was just not as impressed with this stop.
We just stayed in the Carnival area with the pools, etc. It was HOT and crowded. Took forever to get a drink. Could not feel the ocean breeze at all. Mainly spent some time for the wi-fi. If I went back I would do the waterfalls excursion. With everything going on in the DR right now my ex did not really want my daughter venturing out.
We loved the Conquest. Cruised in March. The food in MDR was absolutely delicious and we also had breakfast there every morning. As you, we did not go to buffet, only for salads or dessert. Had lunch at Guy's Burgers, The Deli, or pizza. All very good. Loved our cabin. My daughter, her husband and 2 teens, had a cabin next to us and the steward was able to open and connect our 2 balconies so it was one huge balcony. Loved it. Our cabin was very spacious for 2 people and the air and plumbing worked fine. Totally loved all the ports. Didn't care for most of the shows and the show we really wanted to see was canceled. They need to work on how the muster drill should work. We had to stand an extra 40 minutes for the INCONSIDERATE people who didn't show up on time. That was not fair to us and all the others that were on time. One last thing, they had us at a table for 12 in the Monet restaurant for the early dining seating, and we requested a table for 6. The next night they had a table for 6 in the Renoir Dining Room which actually turned out better as they told us we could be there anytime before 6:30. We had that same table the rest of the cruise. The balloon drop the last night was fun. We had a great great cruise. Would definitely go on the Conquest again and make sure to visit Deck 5, the Sunflower Atrium. Whole deck is so pretty especially in the Bar.
