Carnival Conquest Cruise Reviews - Reviews

ship is dated but going in for an overhaul in fall so that may make it better. It was decently clean. Just seems carnival doesn't have the amount of staff that used to be around and the staff didn't seem as happy and motivated to be there as in the past and on most other ships

too large & had sewer smell sometimes

Ship was clean and in good shape. Rugs in hallways by cabins are in need of replacement

Overall impression of the cruise ship was it musta been designed by committee because it pretty much had everything, but it was very hard to navigate and overly spread out.

This is a great ship if you're looking for a slumber party for your kids. The lines were so long and the ship was so disorganized that at our last port we couldn't get off because we had a 1.5 hour wait to get the shuttle to go into the main port area. Very disappointing and we will not cruise Carnival again.

nice decor throughout and stateroom comfortable with balcony. my husband, father and my daughter & I fit quite nicely in the room.

Pretty quite for a large ship

The ship is exquisite! We are a family of artists and to see all the impressionist and post impressionist decor was more than we expected and we felt blessed. The cabins were a bit bigger than we anticipated so were pleasantly surprised. We did expect a portal window but somehow we were on the inside. That was not a big issue though. The food was always awesome. So much to do could not do it all. Loved the shores and waters where we stopped and the people - ship staff as well as locals - were awesome! The only thing we would fix if it were up to us is the photography. But we hear you're working on changing it all over to digital. Good show! Speaking of shows - they are great fun too. Overall it was stupendous and my only complaint is this feeling of worse sea sickness now that I am back on land. There should be an antidote for it - LOL

This was our second trip on the Conquest-- we love it. The New Orleans port is very easy to get to and parking good. The ship looked great for the holidays-- decorated beautifully. The Atrium is so nice just to sit and listen to the music in the lobby. Dining great loved the cinnamon rolls-- food abundant and fresh. Wonderful Christmas vacation.

Overall it was just average. The entertainment was low quality and i felt like it was lacking in "smaller" activities like contests, etc. You could not enjoy a simple drink on deck without being asked every 90 seconds if you wanted to buy another one. The embark/disembark process was very easy and efficient and the food was pretty good and available at all hours of the day. Enjoyed the adults only pool that is covered in glass during bad weather. A bit longer wait for my-time dining than I have experienced elsewhere.

It was tacky.

ship was clean-a little hard to get around in, but could have just been us; food was great in all areas that we tried; staff was very friendly and helpful.

The only negative thing that I have to say is about a port of call, not Carnival. Jamaica is not at all what I expected. Most of the locals seemed like they were trying to hustle us. $5/person for a ride to a beach, $5/person to get into the beach (surrounded by a barbed wire fence), $5/person to get picked up from beach (which ended up being only 2 miles from ship), while on the beach, "$60 for a massage" "$60 to braid your hair" "buy my CD mon", $5/person for any additional stop. I know that to many countries, Americans are still looked at as being wealthy, even during this recession, but come on!

I personally would rather fly to my destination and have more time on dry land exploring. I felt trapped on the ship and not enough time was allotted once we docked at each destination. Maybe cruising isn't the best vacation for me.

The food on the buffet was cold and there were several people that got food poisoning. They didn't have enough hand sanitizer on the desk around the buffet.

having cruised on the conquest before, I expected more than what was provided. previous cruises on other carnival ships were great

The ship it's self was a great ship, very clean and the personalities of all the employees was awesome. The staff were the friendliest I've experienced yet.

serving lines very slow quality of food very poor ice cream machines out of service no cups or coffee part of time nightly shows not very good compaired to the other carnival cruises I have taken this one was very bad

Stateroom was great, we had a balcony and the room had plenty of storage. Bathroom was a good size with plenty of shelves.

The ship was better than I thought visually although the pools were small and there were only 3 hot tubs which were always past the occupant capacity. The boarding process was chaotic. They started off going in order, then gradually just let people from the back of the line go to open lines to expedite the boarding process. This angered all the people who had been waiting in lines for 30 minutes. People said something to the workers, but they didn't care. In fact, one Carnival employee told people waiting that "it was too bad that they were mad because he has been mad his whole life".
