All the good reviews here are fake. I usually do not have time to write reviews, but I will make time to save people.

1. THE SMELL. The bathroom has this smell that is unbearable even if you close the door. I am not talking about poop smell after using the bathroom. I am talking about some weird smell. I was avoiding being in the room because I vomited twice. I spoke to people; everybody had the same experience.

2. The noise in the walls. Some mechanical noise. We could not sleep. I am trying to upload the video that I took. I called them several times, and they were not able to fix it

3. The cruise is so old—no flattering. When you walk in, you will be very disappointed. The windows are so dirty that you can not even see the sea. The moment I walked in, I knew I made a mistake. I feel terrible because it was my husband's first experience with the cruise, and he said he would never do it again. I am trying to convince him that they are not all the same.

4. The food was horrible. It was so bad that after the third day, the dining room was almost empty. People preferred the salad bar to the dining room. Even the pizza was horrible. How can you go bad on the pizza? People could not wait to get out of the cruise to get food. They chose to find restaurants rather than go to the beach. 

5. Talk about slavery; they work their people like animals. They get them through agencies from poor countries like Asia, Africa, and other islands and work them like crazy. 

6. the drinks were terrible. Just drink a beer, and you will be fine. I tried different drinks like pina coladas, mimosas, etc., which were awful. When we got to Saint Thomas, we wanted to leave, but my husband wanted to see his favorite salsa band because it was a salsa festival. 

Being there for seven days was disappointing. I wish I could get this experience out of my brain like it never happened. Their pool is a joke. Please do not bring your children.

Do not use this cruise

This was my first cruise. I chose it because it was short and I wanted to test out the experience. When I initially got on the boat, it was just alive. The music was great and the staff were somewhat friendly. There was a party, and everyone was so excited. I checked into my room at 1:30 & I noticed that the decor was old and the room smelled stale. As I further examined, the beds are two different sizes and pushed together, the wallpaper is peeling, the ceilings are leaking, and I noted two ROACHES in two separate areas of the ship. Yes, vermin. In addition to being passed by at the bar ( long lines just to get a soda or water) the staff were mostly indifferent. I did notice better treatment given to my palm colored counterparts. I also got food poisoning on two separate occasions. The smells, the uncleanliness, the overcrowded bars. Yuck. I’ll definitely cruise again. The experience was enlightening and beautiful to be at sea. I just won’t be cruising with carnival conquest.

It’s just “Ok”

I'll start with the smell, the sewer smell was so bad my husband threw up three times in the men's bathroom on the lido deck the first night. Our room would get the same smells and it would come and go, the last night it woke us up it was so bad. The lines to get a drink or water bottle for the drink package were ridiculous. There were no servers walking around to get you drinks. One of the doors were completely shattered but they were still using it as it was taped. The food was terrible. When we reserved a romantic table for two in main dining they stuck us in a corner and it took forever to be served. The only thing this ship has going is the hospitality, the people that work on this boat are amazing! They work so hard! It's essentially a party ship. So just be aware. The sky bar and the casino bar was amazing if you want great drinks go there. I would totally skip this ship, It was our first trip without kids in 20 years. We made the best of it but this ship has seen its better days. There wasn't a berry on the ship. Nothing seemed fresh...

Very disappointed 

This is a short cruise.  Port of calls are Key West and Cozumel.  The ship is older, but it is clean, and staff was very nice! The formal dinners were very good, and the service was excellent.  Do not order the duck.  On the negative side.  It is hard to sleep when your cabin is directly under the bar that has karaoke every night.  The hair dryer is horrible, so bring your own.  There is only one plug in the cabin so that sucks.  Download the carnival app right away.  You pretty much need it to do everything.  I bought the drink package, and also paid for internet.  The problem is you have to sign on the internet every single time ugh.  And can only have one device use the internet at the time ugh.  The Public internet is horrible.  

When you get to Cozumel get prepared to be attacked by people trying to sell you stuff, at a very very high price.  And I am pretty sure the gold pieces they are saying is 14 k or 18 k are fake.  

If you want to buy anything is best to bring dollars, since they could care less about the peso.  And then fight hard to lower those prices.  

I really do not know who owns the shops along the port, but the constant harassment, and the way they would start really high and then lower by a few hundred, and you really have no idea what you are buying was a turn off.

Do go on an excursion.  The other side of the island is beautiful and preserved.  Wish I had spent ,pre time Doug. That!

It wasn’t bad 

We chose Carnival Conquest for our 1st cruise bc we wanted a short trip to be sure we liked it.  We loved it!  The food was fabulous.  I never had to eat at the buffet!  Burgers were so good!  Pizza at 9:30 was delicous!  The Monet Dinning hall was gorgeous and a different menu with a 3 course food options included in our price!  Everyevening we had entertainment and great servers.  We sat with 3 other couples from all over the US.  It was so fun!  The shows were so good!  Comedy PG was good, the late night was a little graphic.  Rooms were larger than hotel rooms in NYC!  Great views all over the ship!  The only recommendation I would give is not enough pools.  Do not plan on swimming.  Pools are over croweded and adult only pool/hot tub smelled of sulphur.  Check out the Serenity Section!  Loved the live music and entertainment evernight.  Our excursion was cancelled due to weather, but carnival put us to another island the next day and allowed us to book more excursions.  I was automatically credited the 1st excursion and when we had poor cusotmer service by the restuarant for our lunch, carnival automatically reimbursed us that excursion.  The customer service from the staff was absolutely fabulous!  They do not get paid enough and the gratuity is not enough for what you get.  We left cash gratutity at the end of the week for our servers in the dinning hall and stewards. The embarkation was scheduled and easy!  We did a passport and faster to the fun.  It was worth it.  The debarkation was also scheduled and so easy!!  Love the new Carnival hUB APP TO SCHEDULE EVERYTHING!  I could choose my activities to add to my planner and got reminders!  Loved it.! 

It was a wonderful time and I can't wait to book another trip.

Something for Everyone!  Great Food! 

Birthday cruise for my nephew. Alighting and deboarding processes were really efficient. Housekeeping was excellent. Very clean around the ship. The safety checkin was a fiasco because our muster area was blocked by maintenance crews grinding and soldering beams (was the ship broken??). Great food. Drink and coffee bar hosts were spectaclar. Cruise Director rather hokey. Pools crowded and noisy (typical Carnival). Always long lines at the buffet and "fast food" stations. The specialty steak house had great food, but terrible service. Also, their "view" by the windows looked out to the smoking area where barely dressed (NPI) passengers unaware we, on the other side of tinted glass, were seated three feet away and could see them "adjusting" theirswimsuits or bending over to expose their butts. Spa was OK, but the personal training session was a joke and a complete bust. Nightly Shows: very OVER-Amplifed. Ouch; glad I had earplugs. Singers were consistently flat and uninspiring, but the choeography and costuming were great. The last night of the cruise show had a downer theme - what a terrible way to end the cruise. You get what you pay for.

Nice ship, but old.

The cruise ship was very nice. My first time on a cruise and will not travel Carnival Conquest ever again, there wasn't to be Marijuana allowed anywhere (but, guests were smoking it EVERYWHERE outside on ALL decks) the smell was so strong, I witnessed ship employees seeing this, nothing was said anyone smoking it. 

The last morning, the ship was back at port in early morning before breakfast, the ship started emptying their sewage tanks before everyone disembarked, the smell was awful, everybody on the ship was gagging. This is something that should be done AFTER everyone is off the cruise ship! 

We never found a place to get coffee prior to 6am, it would be nice to be able to get it anytime, we get up at 4:00 am. The food was great everywhere we ate. The entertainment exceeded my expectations! Our cabin stew was a real sweetheart, we left her a little extra $. The ship looked spotless all the time.

CARNIVAL CONQUEST - NEVER AGAIN

Memorial Cruise 

CABIN WAS NOT IN ACCEPTABLE CONDITION

Not sure the cabin category  I was in balcony.  On the ceiling there appeared to what looked like mold......

I complained to cabin steward who notified appropriate personnel.  I further complained to Guest Services 

They sent someone to investigate two days after the complaint.  Unfortunately, the cruise was over by then.  

I never knew if they fixed the problem  They compensated me with a 50 dollar credit for photography   woo hoo

The food was surprisingly good.  Steak house was excellent.

Stayed away from Lido Deck buffet.  the lines were clearly long .... Lido deck was not large enough to accommodate the number of passengers on the ship.... We opted to eat in the restaurants, which exceeded expectations. 

Common area rest rooms were unacceptable.  Rust stains on sinks were apparent on most of the e sinks.  Very bad first impression.   

The staff was excellent

Cabin Condition

We had to use a Carnival credit before it expired in September, so we chose a 5 day cruise to Key West and Cozumel. Guy’s hamburger joint was great (first restaurant we ate at), the Steak House was also very good but it is an option over that standard charges. However, I must inform you that the BBQ buffet was horrible and the regular buffet was just ok. Salad, fruits and veggies were fresh. Other items tasted bland. We enjoyed the entertainers who really worked hard to please the guests. 

Unfortunately, there were quite a few unruly guests who were loud, obnoxious and displayed little regard for those around them. They were not drunk, just unruly and In fact, we witnessed under age kids in the casino quite often and even saw a fight between 2 teenage girls and a teenage boy take place in the hallway just outside the Tahiti casino. We were not impressed with some of the people onboard. We will most likely choose another cruise ship in the future. Thank you!

Great Service….good dunks and average buffet. Unfortunately we had to deal with unruly and loud obnoxious guests

We bought a suite for our honeymoon. Arriving to the room, it was disgusting. There was a dirty used razor blade on our floor, a condom wrapper under our bed, there was hair in our bath tub, our robes were dirty, there was makeup on the blankets, and my husband had to sleep above the blankets because they made him itch for some reason. We had them washed and he was able to sleep under the blankets finally, after 2 days. We told the stewards and they just removed it for us. Our balcony light didn’t work, we asked to have them fix it they never did. The lines were absolutely outrageous. I get there were a lot of people on the boat, but the entire staff seemed unorganized. The food was terrible, I’ve been on several cruises in the past, as far as food went this was the worst. There were very very few staff members that spoke English or understood it. I get it is multi lingual We also received charges we didn’t agree to for gratuities too . We were unhappy with the staff as it was and had no choice in the matter to pay over 80$ each of us to dish out to the staff. The guest services were just as confused as we were on the charges, yet did nothing to fix it. When we went to Atlantis in Nassau we went ahead of time to guest services to check if it thunderstormed if we’d be reimbursed for our excursion we purchased, the Aquadventure. They told us if it thunderstorms we would be refunded what we paid. Sure enough it thunderstorms, we get off the boat being assured that Atlantis wasn’t closing and they were only expecting it to thunderstorm for an hour. We got to Atlantis and was told it was closed. We talked to guest services at Atlantis after waiting in line for an hour, to be told they won’t refund and to ask the cruise ship. So we had to go find a taxi back to the port, because all the buses left and weren’t returning until 130pm (5 hours later) it cost us 35$ just to get a taxi ride back. Took us almost an hour to get back to the boat. We went to guest services on the boat, was told they would refund us the $400 we spent once we set sail. We only got $250. And was told we were over our limit after spending $150 on a massage. The last night my husband and I tried to rest, there were these kids that kept pounding on our door. We reported it and nothing got taken care of. In the Middle of the night we were awoken to the smell of sewage coming through our vents causing us to gag having to open the balcony door. We had to do this 3 times. Leaving the boat we were randomly flagged to be checked by customs, as the staff and custom agents treated us as if we were drug smugglers. Tossing our stuff around breaking our glass cup we bough on board to remember our honeymoon. Just absolutely horrible horrible experience. This was our honeymoon, and it was one of the worst experiences of our lives. I’ve always been the type of person to promote cruises as a cheap great family vacation. I will never go on another cruise as long as I live because of this experience. And I’ve been on 8 carnival cruises in the past. That’s how bad this experience was.

Extremely horrible honeymoon experience.
