Conquest review 10/17/10, Pics included

[MicksMom]

Glad they fixed the distance traveled & distance to port maps on the TV. They were down the entire week for us. The light up map on the way to Degas Lounge was also dark most of the week. One night it showed we left Waco & were around Nashville. lol Everyone got a good laugh out of that.

 

Keep it coming. Still looking for crew we would recognice, so far just Mr. V. I agree, he was very friendly. For us, he is the first one that has ever taken the time to stop by the table for a visit.

Great review so far!

I love your review and Pics. I definitely have to cruise on The Conquest again to do all the things I missed this time. :)

LOL about Waco & Nashville!

For Jamaica we chose to not do an excursion as we had some scheduled for the next 2 ports. After docking, we walked around Promenade & out the window we saw them testing the lifeboats.

 

 

A little while after that we got off the ship, our 1st port of call! We just walked into the little shop area there at the port & ended up running into some of new CC friends, so we all chatted for awhile & DH & Kevin drank a Red Stripe beer. We made a couple of purchases for souviers for us, kiddos & family, including 3 small bottles of rum & then we headed back to the ship for lunch. Hit the lido grill today & ate up in the fish & chips area.

After lunch we headed up to the top deck FWD to look around & enjoy the scenery. Then headed to the cabin to change into bathing suits to try out the slide per our kids request, LOL. We enjoyed the slide & then headed back to the cabin for a little nap before sail away. We ended up napping for 3hrs!! Felt so good!

 

 

 

 

 

We woke up a few minutes after 5, got dressed for dinner & we started sail away about 5 minutes to 6:00, so we then headed for dinner.

 

[Meyer2]

Tonight for dinner, we both had the fried mozarella & baked potato soup for appetizer. Both were delicous! DH had the flat iron steak & WCMC, I had the grilled chicken breast, potatoes & butter pecan ice cream.

 

 

 

 

Tonight's towel animal:

 

 

We then went by the photo gallery & then off to the Magic & Illusion show. OMGosh, this show with Lady Hellevi was awesome!!! We really enjoyed the show! Afterwards, off to the Latour Bar to meet with Meredith & Dale for drinks.

 

 

 

Meredith & Dale had went to the steakhouse for dinner & both said they really enjoyed the food & it was all excellent. We were 'rocking' a little bit more tonight, but nothing horrible at all. You could feel it a little.

Thursday, Grand Cayman

 

This was an early port, so we set our little battery operated travel alarm & got up about 6 a.m. It was a little cloudy, some drizzle rain off & on & you could see some rain in the distance & land.

 

 

 

 

 

Royal Carribean's Freedom OTS was already there in port.

My lens kept fogging up some.

 

 

We had an early excursion, starting at 8:15, so we were supposed to be in the Degas lounge at 7:15. We got there right at 7:15, were seated for about 5 minutes & then they started calling for certain excursions & heading them down to deck 0 for tendering. We thought this process went pretty smoothly really, I had heard some complaints so was kind of nervous, but we had no issues at all. We were on the tender & at the port about 7:40-7:45. We stopped for the picture snapshots, took a few pictures ourselves & then headed over to find our group for the tour. We had selected the Best of Grand Cayman tour thru Carnival. We were all on the tour bus & leaving promptly at 8:15. For this excursion, you get a little tour of the island, all very beautiful. We made a stop in one spot along the way where you could see the beautiful water & also all 3 ships that were in port.

 

From the port:

Next stop on our tour, the Turtle Farm. It was amazing seeing such large turtles. There were also baby ones that were oh so cute!

This is great, We have 22 more days till ours. Was there things to do at the port in grand caymans like shopping, lunch or the beach? Because the tour we are doing is only 2 hours. And we want to see more things while there.

Yes, there are things to do there at the port. As far as food though, we didn't eat in port, we just got back onto the ship when we were ready to have some lunch. So, I'm not able to answer to much on that part. I do know Margaritaville isn't far from there, I think within walking distance.
