Cruising the Western Caribbean by
A Traveler from Dallas, TX
Sailing date: Dec 2006 Pros:
The food was fantastic, and the staff was excellent
Cons:
Would have liked the port stops to be staggered out more - 2.5 days at sea, then 3 days in ports
The Carnival Conquest Ship was good (first experience so nothing else to compare to). There was usually many activities going on around the ship. I was surprised at the size of the swimming pools, they were more for wading then swimming. The options for dining were varied, from casual to dress attire, it was nice to have an option.
One thing we discovered was the number of "older" people on the cruise. If you are looking for more of a "young" party type crowd and activities, check to see if the ship is catering to those activities or not.
Ship Quality
Dining/Food Good variety of food.
Stateroom Quality
Ship Staff Quality We couldn't believe how enthusiastic all the crew was given their work schedules (6 months on, 6 days a week, and participating in all the drills)
Entertainment & Activities
Collapse List of Ports
Cozumel, Mexico We went to the Dolphin Encounter and had a blast! We then sat in Senor Frogs (right across the street from the ship) and were thoroughly entertained.
Don't Miss: Dolphin Encounter
George Town, Grand Cayman Found it to be a little pricey
Don't Miss: Hard Rock Cafe
Montego Bay, Jamaica We took a taxi tour of the city. Our guide was very good, and we want to go back to Jamaica some time.

Great time on Carnival by
bill s from alaska
Sailing date: Nov 2006 Pros:
Swim with the Stingrays Grand Cayman
Cons:
Waterfall at Ocho Rios
Fun ship. Clean. Good Intertainment. Too many smoking areas in public spots as in the main lobby. Areas where non smokers could not avoid. My wife is allergic to smoke! Could have been a perfect cruise.

Ship Staff Quality Staff was great
Entertainment & Activities Great band but I think the best band was in the smallest room. Always packed house.

Cozumel, Mexico Swam with the dolphins--- Found online cheaper.
George Town, Grand Cayman I think a must to do is to take a waverunner to swim with the stingrays. This is not part of the cruise excersions. Found it online but it was well worth it.
Montego Bay, Jamaica The falls was a waste of our time. Wife could not climb them. Long bumpy road to get there-

Fantastic Cruise !!! by
Diana V from Puyallup, WA
Sailing date: Jun 2006 Pros:
Dining room, outstanding service in our stateroom, the entertainment.
Cons:
It was a little inconvient to find restrooms.
This was our first cruise, It was fantastic !! The ship was more then we ever imagined. The layout was great, ample space for lounge chairs around the pool area. The service was outstanding,getting off and back on board ship was handled so effiecently with so many people.
Ship Quality The only issue we had was up on the Lido deck, you could never find a clean table, they would always take the dirty dishes etc. off but never wipe the tables off, on several occasions I went to the staff & ask for a towel to wipe my own.
Dining/Food Dining room was outstanding, the staff was very friendly and informative. The food was excellent, as was the service.
Stateroom Quality Again the service was fantastic, the rooms were comfortable, very clean, excellent service from the housekeeping staff.
Ship Staff Quality
Entertainment & Activities My spouse tried on several occassions to connect with the golf pro, it took 2hrs. to finally track him down, the employees at the information desk didn't have much information regarding that, the daily ship paper had 10AM for golf lessons, he didn't show up until noon. That was our only issue. The overall quality for entertainment & activities was great

Montego Bay, Jamaica We Paid $85.00 a person (3) it was a 2hr. drive which we were aware of. What they didn't mention was that 3/4 of the drive was under construction, the roads were unbareable rough, had we of known we would of choosen a different tour.
