We were aware that the Conquest was a older ship yet booked it because it would be in Dry Dock right before our cruise. We were shocked when we boarded and found all the outdoor areas seriously dirty. Also the outdoor bathrooms were horrible I found dirt and feet shoe prints on toilet seat covers. I guess they didn't have time to wash everything down. They were still laying carpeting in some cabins and worse thing was the AC would not work in some cabins and no hot water or cold water. They did make some nice improvements yet for the price I paid $2825. including gratuities for a 8 day balcony cabin. I felt like I was over charged for the quality of this ship. I would have preferred to be on a newer ship for that price. Pro's were the cruise director Chloe Loddo, all the staff, Steak House, Sushi, Seaside Movies, Alchemy Bar, and comedy show.
