Are you allowed to wear shorts in the dining rooms on non-formal nights?:confused:

 

NOTE: Shorts, t-shirts and bathing attire are not permitted in the Dining Room during dinner.

 

This is the stated policy. Whether it will be enforced will be up to the discretion of the maitre'd.

What kind of secrets are you wanting? Bring an extra hairdryer for each room along with a extension cord or a power plug. a hanging toiletry bag helps also. Is this what you want, I'll send you more. Also walkie talkies would probably be a good idea also to give to the boys to keep in touch with. You can also rent them on board.

Do the gty cabin assignments change once one has been made? My friends were a bit disappointed at there assignment. Is it possible it could change again?

I like to make reservations for the salon and point soon as arriving. does anybody know these phone extension numbers? We leave 4/20 on the Conquest..

[reaganandnoahrmy2]

I am just curious, Is anyone bring there kids with them on the Conquest Feb 10-17, 2008 ? I know with it being Valentines week there will be alot of couples. My girls (11 & 13) and I will be going, this will be their first cruise I am so excited for them. Guess I am just hoping they will run into kids their age.

 

Thanks alot,

 

Kay

 

Kay, our kids aren't the same age, but we are bringing our 2 little ones (2 and 5)

Steve: We were in 1062, Panorama deck....balcony cabin, and LOVED it! People were constantly telling us how much more motion we would notice, I'm still waiting and the cruise was 10 months ago! Other than a suite it was the best cabin we've ever had. I'm considering changing our 8A guarantee to 8E, for our next cruise, if a comprable cabin is still available...eventhough I know it will be a much more costly situation.

 

It's also a very quiet level.

 

Thank you so much for the info!

How many dinning rooms does the conquest have? one or two? I will be cruising on 05/04 and just curious?

[yst347]

The Conquest has two dining rooms, the Monet and the Renoir. Each room has two levels.

[DALSAL]

And, you can pay to eat at the Point....

[BetterLateThannever]

Anyone stay in an aft stateroom on the Main deck? Looks like that's where we'll be if our guarantee assignment sticks. I posted this question last week as a new thread, but it got buried already, so I thought I'd come straight to the knowledgeable Conquest thread!! :D

 

What's the trick to getting a cabin number for guarantee assignment? I sail in 17 days and it still says TBA on my booking.

[GinnyJ]

Breakfast and lunch are served in the Monet. (or you can eat buffet)

Your sail and sign card will have which dining room, table number and time on it for dinner seating.

[jam82]

Does anyone know about ordering room service breakfast? Will they let you order a hot breakfast in the morning or do you have to stick to the cold pre-printed menu?

I don't know that there's much of a trick to it...ours just showed up last week. I did hear the later you get it the better the chance for an upgrade...not sure if that's true or not. Good luck to you!!

We are leaving next week and were wondering if we bought one of those throw away cell phones from Wal-Mart would they work on the ship? I know there is a $2.49/min charge to use the ship's satellite system. Could someone let me know or explain how this works? We do not currently own a cell phone. Thanks!

I own a tracfone and an iphone. When I was in Alaska, my tracfone worked and my brothers fancy cell phone with all the bells and whistles did NOT work . Also, I was on the Grand Princess a few years ago out of Galveston when it listed..and my neighbor needed to call home, and her cell phone would NOT work on the ship,so she used my tracfone! Im taking my iphone on our cruise next week,but Im also bringing along my tracfone. Ive been very pleased with this little tracphone! Dot

[okgladmom]

Ivroberts...On the question of getting to Hobby by 1:00. If that's when your flight leaves remember you need to be there at least an hour before. We easily made it home to northwest Houston (about 45 min. north of Hobby) by noon, but we also had no traffic issues to deal with. They've been working on I-45 on one of the bridges leaving Galveston and if this road is closed you won't make it. I'd book the later flight and relax. :)

You can buy the tracfone at Walmart and then buy the minutes you need.Go to www.tracfone.com and it will give you an over view and you can check it out. Dot

Getting ready to book our cruise for May. I am looking at 1062 on the panorama deck. Anybody know anything about this room? What is across the hall in the blank white area? Thanks in advance for the help.
