Review summary

Overall this was a great cruise and great ship to sail on. The cruise director was great and the day of our return was the Conquests last day in Fort Lauderdale before it moved on to Miami. We enjoy the newer big ships but there is something fun about the conquest class ships. Easy to get around not to big not too small, they are just right. Would recommend sailing on the Conquest before her and some of the older conquest class ships or refitted.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Flying into Ft. Lauderdale and then just a quick trip to the port is great! Normally we try to purchase "faster to the fun" but this time we didn't and got on the ship just as fast. No issues at the port and very easy process.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Only went in the dining room for breakfast one day, beyond that the buffets are always great. Very clean and the food was great!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Played shuffleboard one day and it was very breezy but had a good time. Also played mini-golf, again breezy (not complaining just stating for informational purposes) but had a fun time.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Attended every show on the ship and they were all fantastic. We normally pick and choose which show we want to see but this time we decided to see them all and were not disappointed, highly recommend.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Great service on this ship during our cruise. Room steward was good and our room was always clean. Also purchased the "Behind the Fun "tour and it was fantastic I highly recommend this tour. You can truly see how much pride and care the employees take in their jobs in making your cruise the best!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This is Conquest class ship (yes I realize it is named the Conquest but it is named for the class of ship it is and it is the first in its class, just like the Dream, Magic and Breeze are all Dream class ships) so if you have been on the Victory, Glory, etc. then you will know the layout of the ship. Very easy to navigate and find things. I always recommend remembering where you are based on the elevators it always helps you get where you need to go quickly. All areas of the ship were very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We used to stay in a balcony room and then over time realized we are not in our room enough to justify the cost so we have went interior ever since. Our room was in good shape and very clean, ship is a bit older so beginning to show signs of wear but beyond that looks good.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

4 out of 5

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5
Interesting little island, lots of activities and great little beach bar. They will serve you lunch on this island and the food is ok, burgers, jerk chicken, etc. Only downside to this island is the beach is kind of rocky so bring you some good water shoes.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Always love Grand Turk such beautiful water and a never miss location. Margaritaville is the best party place and it cannot be beat. If you get it in time we recommend and cabana at Margaritaville.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Love this stop, been there twice. Just awesome!

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
Always a great stop, beautiful water. Plenty of beaches, shops, restaurants, etc.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth process, crew makes it very easy.
