Just got off the Conquest. Had mixed expectations due to the different message boards here. Most expectations were high, and most were met. Parking - Go with Machu Picchu Tours. The couple we rode with wanted to try parking on there own. Luckily I had printed out info from Machu's website and after they dropped us off to go find parking, they went to Macchu - not sure of spelling - sorry. Embarkation - easy - ate lunch on the ship. You can definitely get on early. Room Steward was good. He removed everything from the fridge and we put our own beverages in there. Beds are super hard - I was sore the whole time from sleeping on it. There are no pads to soften them according to "Ivor."

Dining - Monet 8:00 seating. Food was GREAT!!! Creme Brulee is the best. Order two up front. Several nights I either ordered 2 starters or 2 entrees. No problem. Get what you want. Shrimp dishes and seafood dishes were always enjoyed. Food was plenty hot, soup was too. Flourless chocolate cake was very good - very rich. Cheesecake was not good at all to me. Had something wrapped in phyllo it was yummy too. Chocolate bar stinks!!!!! THe show "Formidable" should be forbidden. It was pointless. THe others were good.

Montego Bay - Sunset Beach is the best!!! Paid our 20.00 and had all the drinks and food we could stand. The drive was less than 5 min by cab. We stayed there and relaxed all day long - no worries. Grand Cayman - Booked Stingray City tour through Capt. Bryan. Had the Hannibal - giant trimaran - it was the best boat we saw out there. We lucked out and got the hammock up front. Our guide was great, as was the trip. It was the most relaxing, as he put up the sails and we sailed for about 40 min to the sandbar, and then sailed back in. The town was super crowded since 10 or so ships had docked.
