Embarkation

5 out of 5
Miami is a beautiful port..It is busy, but everything went very smoothly. No complaints at all.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
There is sooooo much food. They have something for everyone. MDR is really nice it does take a lot longer to get your food and there is a dress code. Great food, small portions, but you can have as much as you like. All the specialty restaurants were great, BBQ, Guys Burgers, Blue iguana tacos and burritos, the deli, 24hr pizza. All were great and again you could have as much as you like. There is also a sea food shack and steak house both cost extra. I didnt eat at these places ,but was told by other cruisers the food was great. The buffet is everything you think of when you think Buffet. They have one for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Different food everyday. Was always delicious when I ate from it.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There is something for everybody. There is so much stuff going on you cant make it to everything. Loved all the comedy shows, karaoke bar, all the performers, movies at sea of a night time, casino, sports bar. Get out and explore the ship you will always find something going on.

Entertainment

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All of them are great. Janette our room steward was wonderful. Erick and Rhonda the waiters in the casino were the best..Everyone was always working, cleaning doing something but they all seemed to love their job. They do work long hours, but they were always still smiling and was always happy.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
First cruise., but this ship was AMAZING!! Everything about it, it is a older ship so yes there is some rust spots in some places but unless you looking for rust your not really going to notice it anywhere. They painted over spots and was always cleaning every part of the ship. Very clean, and well maintained. Loved the design of the ship all the paintings and murals were great.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Beautiful balcony room. Rooms are a little small, but eith the balcony it seems bigger. I didnt spend anytime in the cabin unless i was sleeping.

Ship tip

Get out and explore the ship.. There is so much to see.

Ports of call

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
This is a shopping port. Everthing is cheaper in this port. Our dollar is also worth double theirs. We shopped for a few hours at all the shops. Then walked over to the free beach. You can take a sky lift to the beach as well if you dont want to walk. It is 14 dollars a person for all day. Did not do an excursion.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Some of the Bluest water. Was beautiful. This is a tender port. Maybe a 5 minute boat ride to shore. We done an excursion through carnival. Took and under water boat tour and seen 2 ship wrecks. Was awesome. Went to the turtle farm. I love sea turtles so this was AMAZING to me. Went to a rum cake tasting at a local store, delicious. We then went to Hell.. very small place, but still really neat how it was formed.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Cozumel is awesome there is so much to do. There was 9 cruise ships there the day we were there but we still enjoyed our day shopping. We also took an excursion through Resort for a day and stayed at the iberostar private resort. It was a beautiful resort and everthing was great. You cant really walk into the water from the beach. But still a beautiful place. They are one of the main places people come to scuba dive in cozumel. The have boats that will take you out. You can also rent snorkel gear for 2 dollars and hour and walk off the pier and swim around and see all the coral and all the fish. Was a wonderful experience. This is an all inclusive resort so all you can eat and drink. Would definitely visit again.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
Belize is also a tender port about 20-30 minute tender ride. Was a really cool port. Had an excursion booked through this app for the Altun Ha Mayan ruins and the Belize Zoo. The excursion didnt start for and hour after we got to port and was supposed to be a 6 hour tour. We were only in port for 7 hours so we decided to not go because everyone said we would not get back to port in time to catch the last tender back to the boat. It says on this app guaranteed ship return, but that is not the case, if anything happens that causes your tour to run late the ship will not wait for you. The only time the ship will wait is if you are on an excursion booked through Carnival. So since we skipped the excursion we walked around all the shops and enjoyed our day. Loved Belize.

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
First time to miami. Beautiful city and port. Didnt do an excursion.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Again miami is busy, but if you take your own luggage off the ship and wait for your floor to be called everything will go smoothly. No issues at all.

Glad you loved it as much as we did. Out of the 10 cruises we have been on, different cruise lines, the Conquest was one of our favorites. Food in MDR was absolutely delicious every night and we also had breakfast there every morning. Lunches we had Guys Burgers. Blue Iguana, pizza, or The Deli which was great. Only used buffet for salads or desserts. Our cabin was very spacious and really pretty with all the lighting at the top of the walls. Deck 5 , the Sunflower Atrium was really beautiful and make sure to peek into the bar there. Decor so nice. My daughter and her family were in the cabin next to us and the cabin steward was able to connect our balconies making one large balcony. It was great. Didn’t care much for the shows we saw but our ports were fantastic. And we don’t pick a cruise for the the entertainment. Had a wonderful time and would definitely go on the Conquest again. Cruising is the best vacation ever πŸπŸ›³
