We sailed on July 6, 2014 on the Carnival, Conquest. Debarkation was smooth and very quick. We parked at the pier which was well worth the money--so easy! The ship was very clean, service was great, and the activities were fun for my 12 year old daughter. We really enjoyed the private island...the sand was so soft! We were seated with two other families for dinner which was great. The only downside to being at a larger table was that our waiters would often wait until everyone was present before taking our order. One night we waited at least 30 minutes. The burrito, burger, and pizza stations were fabulous!

We had a great room steward--Julio. Our room was 7396--sometimes, on sea days, we could hear the chairs being moved two decks above. I would think that the rooms on the 8th floor would have more chair noise than we heard. However, overall, our room was quiet. I would have taken conditioner and lotion, as there was only shampoo and body wash provided. Honestly, this was one of our best cruises. Prior to this cruise, we have sailed on Princess, Carnival--Dream, Royal Caribbean, and Disney. The size of the ship was much more comfortable for me...2,900 passengers. Loved it!
