This was my 10th cruise with Carnival and 5th time on the Conquest. Never had a bad experience. Embarkation went smoothly as my daughter and I were in a suite so we had priority boarding. We purchased the Cheers! program which is the way to go. Our first stop once onboard was the bar. We grabbed our mimosas and headed up to the pool deck to get the party started. I was traveling with my oldest of six kids and we both enjoy doing the same things which makes it easy. Our suite was awesome and Louie our steward was such a sweetie. He always asked how we were doing. The cruise director Chloe was very bubbly and kept us informed with her announcements. We had late dining and were seated at a table with another mother and daughter which was nice. The food was ok but our waiters hustled. As for the entertainment, we did not make it to any of the shows but do remember a trio playing electric violins which brought tears to my eyes the music was so beautiful. Our favorite bars while on the ship were Red Frog Rum Bar and Alchemy Bar. The bartenders were amazing and they had remembered me from previous cruises. We did two shore excursions but the best was Starfish Point and Stingray City on a small private charter. The boat was not crowded and the dad and his son were very knowledgeable with the stingrays. All in all, I will continue to cruise with Carnival because it really is the Fun Ship.
