The old fashioned BBQ is the best kept secret for embarkation day. Doug Parker of Cruise News Today mentions this in his Conquest review and I can tell you its true. Last April we went for lunch -while the buffets were crazy - and there was one other couple there? Food was great BBQ chicken, pulled pork, beef brisket, and salads like coleslaw potato salad etc....but keep in mind this is just between you and me ...We are back on Conquest in April this year...Cheers
