Review summary

Loved the ship, especially sailing during Christmas. Crew was great, especially the CD Adam.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Drop our luggage off, tipped the porter. Got into line. Just remember not to print your boarding passes double sided, you will be asked to step aside for your passes to be reprinted.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Love the Steakhouse on Christmas. Loved the brunch in the dining room. Some of my favorites were the fish tacos, prosciutto pizza, tomato and mozzarella (deli) and of course the melting chocolate cake with two scoops of ice cream.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Plenty of activities for all ages.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Musicians/DJs were great. Enjoyed the 70s, 80s and 90s flashback. Deck parties. Loved the lip sync battle!!

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
My 14 yr old enjoyed Circle C. The staff (Ms. Lola) was great with the kids. She did an amazing job with all those kids alone. Carnival should’ve had someone to assist her.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Overall, loved the ship and it was clean. There was a sewer smell at times throughout the halls (this shouldn’t stop you from booking this ship).

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We had plenty of space for the 3 of us. Previous guest left something under the bed. This should have been caught by the cabin Stewart while cleaning.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
No excursion. Very busy port, but loved seeing all of the ships from the different cruise lines.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
No excursion. We stayed at the pool and shopped in the port.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5
We did the $25/person tour with Best Taxi. Great tour. The tour guide took us to the top of the mountain. Great pics.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
Arrived Christmas Day. We did the bus tour for $15/person. Great tour guide. He was very informative. Dropped us near the shopping and we walked back to the ship.

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5
This was our second time at this port. We noticed the locals were taking the free chairs and using them to sell for themselves. One was being used by someone braiding hair.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

We were on there last year for New Year's and had a great time. Will be back on the Conquest again in April.

We were on the Conquest in March. Loved it and would definitely go on again. The only thing we didn’t like were some of the shows but that’s not what we cruise for. Also they need to improve how they do the muster drill. We had to wait another 40 minutes for the INCONSIDERATE people who didn’t show up on time. Anyway, everything else was fabulous. Beautiful ship decor. Absolutely delicious food in MDR every night. Spacious cabins and great location. Air and plumbing worked great. Staff friendly. No bad smells anywhere that we were. Fantastic ports. Perfect weather. Wonderful wonderful cruise. 🏝🛳 Cruising is the best vacation ever
