after reading many reviews on the conquest I realy didn,t know what to expect. The reviews I read talk about poor service bad food crew member that acted like they didn,t want to be there a ship that looked run down.Now the truth I want people to under stand we have done many cruises we are platinum on Princess.The food was excellent with many choices, I mention that I was very fond of india cuisine,well to my surpise every night he had the chef prepare a sample platter for us to share with or mains.Our waiters were the best.the ship was in great shape entertainment very good embarkation and disembarkation very smooth. So if you read all those bad reviews its not true I would sail on that ship any time again.We just got back and I started to looking for our next cruise a great family vacation hats off to the crew of Carnival Conquest job very well done
