Onboard Activities

The pool area is old, this cruise needs the WaterWorks update. The Gym is good, but the treadmills ocean view is blocked “33%” by mirrors that are facing down to the old and stained carpet.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
This cruise didn’t have any Playlist Productions, No Theater Performances and No musical productions featuring singers and dancers. 1) The Welcome Aboard Show is Not a show, it’s only the Cruise Director talking and asking questions. 2)The Viva Variety!: Alyssa Harris is Not a show, it’s only one singer without dancers and without any stage props. 3)Deal or No Deal is Not a show, it’s only a game for Carnival to make money selling tickets. 4) Love & Marriage is Not a show, it’s only the Cruise Director asking questions to three couples.

Children's Programs

My kids liked, but they said that the kids club Circle “C” is a small area that needs upgrades.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
Carnival Conquest is an old ship that needs dry dock, updates and upgrades (FUN 2.0 enhancements, WaterWorks, etc). The ship’s layout is not good, the main entrance to the main dining room (Monet) is only possible taking elevator or stairs.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Ocean View Cabin needs update. The TV is small and doesn’t have any good channels. The bathroom is old and has a shower curtain, needs update to glass shower.
