Cabin: Aft-View Extended Balcony

Girls trip on the Conquest was great. The ship was in nice shape for her age. It was clean and we loved the artwork on the ceilings, even in the elevators. We had an aft cabin (7449) it was spacious and we had plenty of storage for 3 adult women. That was my first time for an aft cabin and probably won't get one again. The smell from the food service was more noticeable than a regular side facing balcony. It was a little bigger. A few times we found random things on the balcony that cruises from above had dropped over. The food was really good in the dining room and lido deck areas. No complaints there. The entertainment was good. We saw one show (EPIC ROCK) in the theater, spent a few nights in the piano bar. Jimi Finn (entertainer) was outstanding; he played a variety of music and really engaged the crowd. We went to a few comedy shows as well, those were great, both the PG and R (not too raunchy). Service was great also in all regards.

For our port experience, we did a beach in Cozumel. We didn't have a prearranged plan so took a taxi ti Ocean beach. It was really really rocky, next time will do Mr. Sancho's. In Belize we did the Starfish Island snorkel and beach- absolutely fabulous. The snorkeling was good and the beach too. Roatan- I purchased an excursion from Shoreexcursioneer.com to Little French Key. It included lunch and two drinks per person. It was really nice also. Very spacious private island with many beach areas, kayaks, paddleboards, jumping platform. At Grand Cayman we took a taxi to 7 mile beach and had a nice beach day.

I would definitely do this trip again.

Cabin Review

Aft-View Extended Balcony

Cabin 8M

Cabin was spacious enough for 3 adult women. It was clean and in good shape.

Personally didn't care for aft balcony. I prefer the regular balcony. I did like being toward the back of the ship and it was close to the lido deck and activities we were interested in.

Port Reviews

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

We flew in to FLL the day before embarkation and stayed and the Holiday Inn Express on Rt 84. It was nice and close to the port and some shopping. They were also able to shuttle us as needed. The shuttle to the port was $8 ppd.

Cozumel

We regret not going to Mr. Sancho's in Cozumel. We just took a taxi to Ocean beach and it was really rocky. Definitely would not go back there.

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

Seven mile beach is always fun. Took a taxi to Royal Palms. Had lunch at their beach side restaurant, Food was good, a little pricey. Beach was nice.
