Spent 8 days on the Carnival Conquest January 9-17 and with great weather had a very enjoyable time. It has been a year since my last cruise so I experienced for the first time Blue Iguana Tequila Bar and cantina , Red Frog Rum Bar, Guy's Burgers. I had interior room 7436 and it was just two stairs to coffee in the morning and two down to all activity around casino and shops.

First few days it was very cool all over the ship and last couple days it seemed to me they adjusted the AC down. I turned the thermostat in my cabin down many times so might be good idea to bring light jacket. There were few kids on the cruise and an older age group represented I guess due to being right after Christmas break. Best part of cruise for me was island steel drum music on the Lido deck each day. They played each day and a couple of sets each day and it was most enjoyable vs the DJ I experienced on past ships. I also like the island beers available at Red Frog Rum bar, nice to have an island beer while listening to island music. Noticed a slight roll of the ship every day and seemed the seas were calm but wind was blowing and don't know if that was cause or not. Never did cause any sickness but noticeable.

Ship seemed to be in good shape and the crew was very good. Food was fine for me but I am not hard to please when it comes to food. Servers were really good and they got each course served promptly as I do not like to sit for an extended time. Read more
