Well, I am platinum so I did not have problems with embarkation or disembarkation.
Good news first, this ship does deserve the Carnival slogan "FUN SHIP". The entertainment on this ship is GREAT!!, activities and music all the time, lots of dancing, spectacular shows, excellent comedians, great food (especially if you are a seafood lover) and the Casino, oh finally!!! after many cruises, their slots machines actually let you win, well I should say let you play, because the winnings are not that big, but at least I got to play and really enjoyed it. Very pleased with the casino staff as well, very nice and they did not let me wait 15 minutes after I ordered a drink, another advantage this cruise has. ( I had not seen this kind of service in a very long time). The CD is full of energy and quite friendly. To be honest, I never had as much fun as I had on this ship compared to previous cruises, that's why the "Conquest" conquered me!
Bad news, first day service, not good , the cabin was not in top shape, and the dining room staff was not paying attention and made some mistakes,but again, after that first day, all was fantastic. One thing I did not like, the refrigerator in the cabin was empty during the whole trip, so every time I needed ice or soda, I had to go out to look for it, there is a new plan where they ask if you want your room made up in the morning or at night, thanks to a previous Cruise Critic reviewer I learned you could ask for both, so I did, and done!! The air conditioner working perfect!
First day when we arrived to the cabin....the bathroom sink had a small shadow of
lip stick, enough for me to take my Wet Ones and clean the whole bathroom. After
that day, everything was clean and neat. The last day I found a dusty sock at
the the top partition of the closet, who knows how long it has been there!! But these
were minor things compared to the great service we had from our cabin attendant.
One thing, though, our refrigerator was empty. Why was that?
Did not take excursion. But Half Moon Cay is nice. The beach awesome.
I went to Atlantis. Beautiful hotel.
