Gypsydrifting Posted February 9, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I was noticing that there is not too much information on the Conquest since it has moved to Miami, other than two recent reviews. Any particular reason why??? We are booked for Dec. 14-21 for my 30th birthday/5year anniversary cruise, in a balcony cabin on the lido deck, and are hoping we didnt make a mistake.

I tend to skip those that are totally negative and have nothing good or helpful to say. Beyond the ship's particulars, such as decor, on board amenities, accommodations, staff, etc., what other information are you looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDFla Posted February 9, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I just booked May 11, checked for a roll call, none, started one, one response. The ship has 2.0 upgrades and is going to HMC...that's all I need! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosecruise Posted February 9, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I've been on her twice. One pre 2.0 & one post 2.0. What info were you looking for? We really liked the Guys Burgers and the Blue Iguana Burritos. The shows were good, but not like before. Still had the old menus. Can't speak of kid activities. We went in Dec. Let me know if you want to know more. Sent from my SGH-T989 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdarrell Posted February 9, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 9, 2014 We will be going on our second cruise on Conquest and would love to read trip reviews and see lots of pics of the ship and of the ports we will be sopping at HMC -St Thomas-San Juan-Grand Turk . Anything to hold me over till our cruise in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitro2448 Posted February 9, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 9, 2014 The port really doesn't make much difference, the ship will be the same. I was on her in April of last year and thought it was a great ship. You didn't make a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready2cruzagain Posted February 9, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) We were on the Conquest on a b2b2b for 3 weeks this past December. Had a great time. Love the ship! Personnel were very nice. I will say that the CD left a lot to be desired...Gary Burnley I think. The food was good. The waiters we had were awesome...had a different table, late sitting every week. The deck parties left a lot to be desired. Was suppose to be free prizes and fun. Right. :rolleyes: The free prizes were plastic whistles and beads and the entertainment was a dj and line dancing. Not entertaining at all. The band Government Shutdown was really good. They played outside the casino. We didn't go to the shows because they are the new ones and we have already seen them all and I did not like any of them and would not go back a second time. They did have the Hasbro game 2 nights for main entertainment. A big mistake in my opinion. No reason to worry, great ship.

Gypsydrifting Posted February 9, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Thank you all so much. I just hadnt really seen anybody say anything about the ship, like I said, other than the two recent reviews. I just see so much about some of the larger ships that it had me worried.

bigbro501 Posted February 10, 2014 #10 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I loved the Conquest! It is a beautiful ship. We sailed on her just after the 2.0 upgrades. Loved the Alchemy Bar. It was my nightly before dinner drink and after dinner drink hang out spot. I had any time dinning but always requested the same waiter every night Tyrone. He was great and got to know each of us. Whenever he was working the Lido Deck during the day he would always say: "Hey Sean" even if he would across the way from me. I had Bonine and took it the first day but after that I didn't not need it. The sea were calm and the ship was very stable. I would go back on the Conquest if it were closer to me.

Sfdtiller Posted February 10, 2014 #12 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Just got off the Conquest Feb 2. We had a great time on her, my second trip on the Conquest. No negatives about the ship, we had cabin 9231 and if you are lucky enough to be on that same area you will have the best stewards I have ever had, K and double K. IMO, Pizza sucks, but thats every carnival ship and with so many options I really didn't care, just ate room service BLT's for our late night snack!

Gypsydrifting Posted February 14, 2014 Author #13 Share Posted February 14, 2014 We are going to be in 9137, so close. Can anyone tell me about the spa and gym area. I obviously assume its not huge like Dream, but what is there you can use without the spa pass? Or what does the pass include, if there is one?
