Review summary

This was not a newer ship; the balcony was rusty everywhere which was not esthetically pleasing to want to sit out and enjoy the view. I would've got a room with a window and been okay with this. Otherwise, the general area of the ship itself was fabulous , staff was great and little minor issues here and there but enjoyed

@NJCruiseGuy. The Conquest is 22 years old. Built in 2022.

Try booking at KOA.

You make it sound like you had to sleep with a stranger, not the person you booked to share a cabin with 🤣 Sorry you were disappointed. As others have said, a bit of research at the start goes a long way.

The Conquest is 9 years old, so “newer” than many cruise ships. Rust will be on any ship. Unless your 14 year old has led a very sheltered life, I’m sure he has heard much worse than what was heard during karaoke.

I would suggest firing your travel agent and book the cruise yourself directly with carnival. This way you will get exactly what you want, or at least know exactly what you're getting.

I find mid ship always best

Appreciate your feedback. Not sure why you thought you should have priority boarding, but it isn’t a perk currently available unless you book a suite. Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations.

Thanks for the review. It sounds like cruising may not be for you, or you need to try Princess, Holland America or Celebrity. If the karaoke offended you, I’m guessing you didn’t listen to some of the poolside music or attend the late night comedy shows.
