Review summary

Would not ride Carnival again. Terrible food quality and choice. Extremely limited vegetarian options. We found out the second day that there was apparently a secret "vegan" menu? But it had to be ordered from the day before dining... so weird. Also wasn't sure if they knew the difference between vegetarian and vegan. Healthy options were limited as well. Carnival Conquest decor was old-fashioned, mostly clean and maintained-- but because of the dated atmosphere, felt a little dingy. Room attendants and most staff were great. Bartenders definitely watered down drinks that were already over-expensive, and had some unfortunate experiences with photo staff.

Embarkation

They had everyone line up against a wall and drop our bags at our feet so the drug-sniffing dog could check everyone out. It felt intense for no reason. Dog was cute though.

seemed like a standard size. the room fit the queen bed and a little space for us to walk around it. Kept very clean by room attendant.
