OK, we're on the opposite side of the state, closer to St Louis :)

 

P.S. We are also from Missouri. Independence MO. :D

I went to SMSU (or whatever it's new name is ;)) waaaay back when. I loved living in Springfield! And we go to Branson a couple times a year too.

Ok. I was disappointed with the formal dinner also! So....do they only do the lobster on the 7 day cruises then? I just assumed they just removed it from the dinner. This was my father and brothers 1st cruise. My mother and I had talked to them about lobster being served during the formal, only be be disappointed!

We had lobster on one of the formal nights last year on the Dream (used to be both nights). And the only other 5 night cruise I've done was 2013 and we got lobster then! Budget cuts.....

I agree with others, pictures are greatly appreciated - especially when discussing food. Can't wait for the rest of the cruise.

Thanks! I might be able to scrounge up some more food pics to post ;)

I should have taken more pictures of the ship's interior. It is beautiful! The Conquest's design theme is Impressionist Artists. This might just be my favorite ship!

 

Giant mural on the ceiling

Next up, Half Moon Cay! One of the most gorgeous places I've ever been to. I have a LOT of pictures to sort through.....

From what I understand, lobster tail is only served now on cruises of six days or more. Sucks, but what can you do. Great review so far!!!

[JaniceB]

Yup no lobster on 5 nights or shorter. Thanks for the menus and pictures are great.

Best day ever! HMC and it's my 44th birthday!

 

This kid seriously was like a caged animal not being able to do flips and cartwheels lol She actually fell off the top bunk one night, backwards and landed on her back. She swore it didn't hurt but I'm not so sure.....I bet the people below us thought the ceiling was crashing in!

 

Another selfie-stick masterpiece lol

 

As soon as we were ready, we went down to deck 5 and got tender stickers. We just sat and waited for our number to be called and I don't think it took longer than about 10 min. The whole process went very smoothly and we were to the island in no time!

Look at that water! HMC is the most beautiful beach I have ever been to (aside from Little French Key in Roatan, but that's not a typical beach). It looks really crowded in pictures, but it didn't really feel crowded at all.

 

Of course....

 

 

Bahama Mama! They were selling these, miami vices, and beer on the beach. The bar had other options, but when I tried to get a margarita, they said they didn't bring everything to make them and only had sour mix and tequila. No salt or triple sec. No biggie, this Bahama Mama was awesome!

 

You could rent water toys at little huts on each end of the beach. This tube was $10. Someone stole it later in the day (I told my mom it was risky leaving it on our chairs while we ate lunch!) but the Carnival people told us it was not a deal and we could just grab another one.

[bluejay555]

Here's one of the cabanas (and somebody's sand-covered arse lol....whoops...)

 

 

This is a bar

 

 

The beach houses: if I was cruising with a group, I'd be tempted to rent one!

 

Now, the funtimes said there would be activities at the beach all day, starting with a beach party at 9am. We never heard any music or anything, until I took a walk down the beach....the party was down in front of the pirate ship! The DJ was right there and they had a sand castle building contest, tug of war, beach volleyball. Definitely hopping on that end of the beach!
