This was my 3rd cruise with Carnival and probably the least liked. My sister went on the cruise with me (it was her 2nd cruise). We booked this trip along with a couple that we met on the Paradise last April. We stayed the night before at the Intercontinental at Doral because I read that they had shuttle service to the Port of Miami. They did not. It ended up costing $35 for a taxi.

I did not find that there were enough activities onboard the Conquest. We went to a few shows which were entertaining for the most part, however, I would think that on a 7-day cruise, there would be a lot more to do. We didn't book any excursions; we did our own thing. Our first stop was Nassau. I was there for the first time in December and found it to be dirty with many unfriendly people. I didn't care to see it again, and couldn't see paying over $100 to go to the Atlantis to "enjoy" their amenities. Instead, my sister and I took advantage of some spa services on the ship that come to find out are discounted on port days. A word about this: The ladies in spa are all very pleasant and conversational. However....I DO NOT like being strong-armed to buy their products. If I say "No thank you" that's exactly what I mean. It doesn't mean that you should give me a different price that is still exorbitant and seem upset when I still say "no".

Our next stop was St. Thomas. We took a taxi to Magen's Beach. We kept being told by people on the island that this is one of the top 10 beaches in the world. I wish we would have gone to another beach on the island since it seemed like the whole ship decided to head here as well.
