PurdueChefAmber Posted December 30, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Hello cruise critic! First, I want to thank everyone for the wonderful trip reviews! I love reading them! I am Amber, I am 30 and from South Bend, Indiana! My husband is Matt and is 33. We love to cruise and this our first cruise since having our two kids, they are 3.5 and 2! We fly into Miami on Friday and sail out of Port Everglades on the Conquest on Sunday. We are staying at the Embassy Suites in FLL. I will try to be very timely with my trip review and start it sometime during the week of January 11!

PurdueChefAmber Posted December 31, 2015 Author #18 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Would love it if you include pictures of the menus and FunTimes in your review! I sure will! I warn everyone that I am no photographer! I will upload cell phone pictures only but I have an iPhone 6, so, they should be of good quality. Anything else anyone else would like to see?

footballbabe3 Posted December 31, 2015 #19 Share Posted December 31, 2015 What type of cabin did you book? I love seeing cabin pics so we know how to set up our room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NPCIN Posted December 31, 2015 #20 Share Posted December 31, 2015 My GF and I just returned from the Conquest (8 days) on the 20th of this month. We are also from Indiana. We flew into FLL the day before the cruise and stayed at the Embassy Suites. We took a taxi from the airport to the hotel, shuttle to the port from the hotel, and then the taxi from the port back to airport. If you have any questions...just ask and I'll try to answer them.

Thank you for the offer! Was there live music on the lido yet? I think we will Uber everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldeya Posted December 31, 2015 #23 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Great start! :) Does anyone know WHY the HMC is cancelled on more than one cruise? Did I miss something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NPCIN Posted December 31, 2015 #24 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Amber, There was a male and a female who played the steel drum and bass/guitar who did play on the lido every day. I didn't think they were very good though. There was also the regular recorded music and a DJ too. Cab ride was about $13 from airport to Embassy. We paid $18 for the shuttle to the port. Car ride back to airport was like $13-14. I usually tip the taxi drivers $5 extra though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted December 31, 2015 #25 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Enjoy your cruise, take lots of pics (I always wished I took more after I get back). Can't wait to hear more about it on your return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
