Disappointing start! by
John S from Moore, ok Sailing date: Apr 2010Pros: The staff and cruise were very good. Cons: Everything was turned around due to the reverse schedule. We were delayed due to fog, which could not be helped by Carnival. Then immigrations decided to process over 1,000 non-residents individually. We had to stand in line for over 10 hours. They finally brought some water out but carnival had no communications with us. We were just relying on rumors throughout the line. We miss one whole day of the cruise and were only refunded $15.00 to cover lunch. That was more of an insult to us. My husband is a diabetic and they had no concern for the passengers health or the hundreds of children out there. We were very disappointed with how carnival handled this situation. We could not get to our rooms until almost midnight. The excursions were very hard to book because they did not have them available on the cabin TV so we had to stand in another long line. The dining menus were not ever available on the cabin tv either. Overall, we were disappointed with carnival. This was our 3rd cruise with carnival conquest and this was really really bad. In addition, they did not have near as many activities and the entertainment staff was really bad this time. Ship Quality

Carnival Conquest ship / March 21, 2010 by
Dwaine A. from Houston, Tx. Sailing date: Mar 2010Pros: Very hard working staff to make the cruise more enjoyable Cons: Getting off and on the ship from the initial boarding to going through customs The Carnival Conquest ship was very clean and well maintained. Our steward came to our room at least two times a day to make sure things were clean and orderly. He learned our names and was very polite and accomodating. Our waiter was also very nice and went out of his way to make our experience memorable. The food was excellent and there was a lot of choices to choose from. Ship QualityThe layout of the ship was very good but took a little while to figure out how to get around to the places that you wanted to go.
The workers were constantly cleaning all around the ship. Dining/FoodThe quality of the food was excellent. There was always somewhere to get food any time of day. There were a few times where even though the food was under a heating light, the food was cold and we experiened some of the bread was hard and not heated but this was minor compared to the general meal. Stateroom QualityThe room was a reasonable size and very comfortable.. The steward kept it neat, clean, and orderly. Ship Staff QualityThe crew went out of their way to be helpful. Entertainment & ActivitiesActivities were well organized and very professional. First class performers as you would see in such places as Las Vegas. Children's ProgramsWe did not have children on board but the staff seemed to keep them entertained and under control. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

Stephanie W from Chandler Tx Sailing date: Feb 2010Pros: Food was awesome, Service was awesome Cons: Embarkation was a nightmare Overall the our cruise was awesome,food, service, and things to do were awesome
but our embarkation was a nightmare Ship QualityVery nice ship, but needs a few paint touch ups it was obvious its an older ship Dining/FoodAll food was awesome!!! Formal dining was 5 stars all the way Stateroom QualityThe room was perfect for what we needed, very small but very nice Ship Staff QualityAll staff was awesome, except we ended up changing to from the Monet dining to Renoir dining room the service was better and there was less vibration from rear of the ship Entertainment & ActivitiesThe shows were good, the Broadway was kinda cheesy, and the comedy acts we ok as well. The best entertainment on the entire ship was the Blues Bar, the piano player Jason was awesome!!!

Horrible experience on Carnival Conquest by
A Traveler from AUSTIN, TEXAS Sailing date: Dec 2009Cons: Cruise lines failed to warn us of the weather I have been a very loyal customer of Royal Carribbean. I decided to try Carnival only because they sail to the Bahamas. The first day of the cruise we were unable to leave the Port of Galveston because of the heavy fog. I understand Carnival Conquest has no control over the fog. Our initial stops were to include Freeport and Nassau Bahamas as well as Key West. They cancelled our stop in Freeport and reduced our stop in Nassau Bahamas. Also, we only spent five hours in Key West. We were not able to dock in downtown Key West as planned and was routed to the Naval Base in Key West. Instead of being able to walk right off the boat into downtown we had to ride trams. The cruiselines instructed us at 11:00 a.m. that the overcast weather looked as if it would clear up by early afternoon. We departed the boat around 11:30 and rode the tram into downtown Key West. At approximately 12:30 we experienced excessive rain and tornado warnings. The stores downtown closed because of the rain and they placed sandbags around the perimiter of the store because of the heavy flooding. We were sitting on trams waiting to go back to the ship when the flooding waters began to rise and we were instructed by the driver to wade through the water and walk to higher ground. The water was approximately 3 feet deep. Cars were stalled out in the water and approximately 100 of us cruisers walked a couple of blocks through this muddy water to catch the tram on higher ground. Once we were on higher ground Carnival Conquest didn't have enough trams available. We were standing outside unprotected in the lightning, thunder and heavy rains while we waited on the transportation back to the Naval Base. I understand that the rain was not something the cruiselines had any control over; howevere, I feel like they should have warned us of the impending weather. They knew we were about to experience heavy rainfall, flooding and thunderstorms. They should have warned us and allowed us the opportunity to decide if we wanted to go to Key West or stay on the ship. My clothes are ruined from the dirty water we waded through and I now have a very bad cold from being soak and wet waiting on the transportation and wading through the water. Ship Quality
Dining/Food
Stateroom QualityOur television didn't work and the light switch for the bathroom was very hard to turn on.
They also painted a room across the hall from ours while we at dinner and when we returned the smell of paint fumes were overwhelming. Ship Staff Quality

Disappointing Cruise by
A Traveler from Dallas, TX Sailing date: Dec 2009Pros: Food Cons: Service, Ship Staff The staff on this ship did not speak nor understand English well. I fell on the ship on the Friday of the cruise due to water on the floor that had leaked from the ceiling. I was hurt and was treated like it was my fault. The medical staff were excellent, but Guest Services were rude and no help at all. Room Service was incapable of delivering what was ordered and the breakfast orders never arrived or arrived with the wrong items. Our cabin was very hot; we made numerous calls to Guest Services and were told that it was the temperature it was supposed to be and they sent up a fan which did not help at all. Ship QualityDifficult to get from one place to another. Had to go to the 5th floor to get to dining rooms on the 3rd floor. Dining/FoodFood was excellent and plentiful. Stateroom QualityOur room was very hot at all times and we were uncomfortable the entire cruise. Ship Staff QualityWere difficult to understand and communicate with. Entertainment & ActivitiesStay out of the casino - I have never seen slot machines that lost at the rate these did. 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful.

Fantastic Cruise by
Ronald B from Round Rock, TX Sailing date: Oct 2009Pros: The Staff Cons: Last Day Had of and on rough sea The staff was fantastic they anticipated your wishes before you could put them into wprds. Everyone I met was courteous and friendly. The maid service were sort of like ninjas they were very seldom seen but your room was always taken care of when you left your cabin. The waiiters we had at the 6 oclock time slot in the Renoire room , table 133 were fantastic, Yogi and his partner made it fun to go to dinner. The entire ship was kept spotless at all times. The entertainment for the most part was wonderful. I would recommend the Conquest for a cruise anytime.. Ship Quality

A Big Disappointment by
A Traveler from Midwest City, Ok Sailing date: Oct 2009Pros: The Ship was clean, the room was nice Cons: The hassles, everything was a hassle The food was good enough, but certainly not outstanding. The meals were a chore instead of a pleasure. The cost of the cruise was the least expensive part, the extras cost much more than the cruise. Do not be fooled by the all inclusive cost, becasuse that is not the case. The crew was O.K., but not great and had a hard time understanding English. Some were quite rude. Would I take another cruise? Probably not, and not Carnival. Just an overall unpleasant experience. Ship Quality
