Review summary

Don’t go on a carnival conquest cruise unless you want to be scammed of your money and have a disappointing vacation. Had to go on a half hour boat off the ship just to get to the islands (Grand cayman and Belize)

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Okay

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Monet dining’s food was horrible but other buffet food was okay (hamburgers were the best)

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Terrible. Couldn’t get into pool because there was too many adults while there was an empty adult open pool, unable to get chairs

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Dj Hayze was great should have had more variety of music for kids and teenagers

Children's Programs

2 out of 5
We signed up for a club but no one ever contacted us

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Guest service was horrible. We tried to file a complaint and they told us “You should have gotten on a bigger ship” and said it was our job to tell the adults to move to the adult pool. Room service was good. Waiters and waitresses were great and very nice

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Old ship and needs to be updated

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
Very very hot and small, had to move around, fan didn’t work had to get another one, dirty fans

Ship tip

Don’t choose carnival conquest!!!!

Belize City, Belize

4 out of 5

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
It was very fun, got to swim with sea lions and dolphins but when we were about to leave someone walked by us and knocked a glass keychain over and they blamed it on us and we had to pay for it (Security said we had to pay or would go to jail 🙄😒)

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
HORRIBLE. Bought tickets to get off the ship early and we were unable to get off the elevators and when we finally did the people working were very confused and told us the wrong directions about 4 or 5 times of where to get the bus to the airport

Wow that's unfortunate, cruising may not be for you. Hopefully you find a vacation you enjoy!

🤣🤣😂 your so funny. I love the conquest and half the fun it the tender sometimes. Would u rather not be able to go at all because ships can't dock there or appriciate they came up with a solution so we can all enjoy these ports of call. I love the conquest and had one of best voyages on her

Do not put much wait in the review. Conquest is a great ship and plenty of room to move around. Never have come across any employees aboard the ships that were rude. We have been on her a couple of times and are sailing on 02/15 again Carnival is a wonderful cruise line in my opinion. This will be our 14 cruise coming up

Been on Conquest 4x. Never had a problem and loved the ship.

Well it's a real long swim without a tender boat to shore. Maybe next time do a little research on your planned vacation. None of the info on ports of call is a secret.

You should know before you go whether it is a tender port. Grand cayman is a short tender right to the port. The longest I have been on is Kona, Hawaii, and yes it was at least a half an hour. You lucky you got to get off the ship. Sometimes due to weather tender ports will be closed. Stop complaining and have some fun in the sun.

I don’t believe anything about this review. No pictures or any cruises listed and no posts at all except for the review. If it is true then you should not be cruising at all since you blamed the ship for everything when it was your own fault for not doing any research at all. We were on the Conquest in March and loved it. The food in the MDR was absolutely delicious every night and we also had great breakfasts there every morning. Our ports were fantastic. We even had to take a tender over but we knew that in advance.

Just so sorry that you could not enjoy yourself!

Sorry for your disappointment, you need to research prior to booking a cruise.

If this isn’t a joke (which it appears to be), cruising isn’t for you. Most of the issues you listed were due to a lack of research or planning. You booked a cruise on an older ship during the busiest time of year. All cruise ships must tender in Grand Cayman and Belize. For faster debarkation, just use the stairs. The elevators are always packed.

Its not carnivals fault the boat has to be tendered its because if the reef. This was onviously written by a kid/teenager. The kids club doesnt contact you you have to go there. Your expectations are unrealistic cruising in general is not for you.

Obviously just another Troll

A child or a troll. I've never heard of a half hour tender from the ship. You couldn't get into the pool because there were too many adults? lol
