This was our first Carnival cruise and we were traveling with a group of 17. We were blessed with great weather, from our flight from Latrobe, PA. until our flight home from Ft. Lauderdale. I plead temporary insanity for choosing dates during Spring Break, but we made the best of it in spite of the loud college crowds. This is my first review and it will happen in several different installments, and I'd be happy to answer any questions along the way.

Embarkation was relatively simple. We arrived at the port around 11:00 am and went through the line fairly quickly. We were assigned to Zone 4 to board the ship and were onboard and had our drink packages activated by just after noon. After that we quickly made our way to the Lido deck for some sun.

Muster happened on time and was relatively short, and then we were on our way from Port Everglades.

More to come in the morning because I'm a little cross-eyed tonight.

Thanks everyone!

We're sailing on the Conquest on Sunday. The boarding pass lists embarkation time as starting at 1:30, but I've found on Carnival's website that it's not staggered, it's listed as that for everyone. How early can we show up at the pier to queue up to board? Our group would much rather be on the ship as soon as possible.

Thanks

Have reservations there for Tuesday, March 15. Cost is $80/adult. Children are less I believe. It's all inclusive, including non-motorized watersports. Will check back in and let you know about our experience.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Me and my wife had a couples massage on our cruise on the Magic Dec 6-13 while celebrating our 20th anniversary.

 

It was my first ever massage. We got the couples hot stone massage and it was AWESOME!

Good to know. Thanks, and happy belated anniversary!

We're on the Conquest in March, and our anniversary is during the cruise. Since we never took a honeymoon we were thinking of doing a couples massage. Anyone have any experiences/advice with one?

Thanks

Thanks everyone!

Booked on the Conquest for the March 13 cruise. Several couples have consecutive balcony cabins. Is it possible to get the balcony doors opened between the cabins so we can visit back and forth?

Thanks!

So happy to hear people are enjoying the Conquest.

 

We are so looking forward to our March cruise on her.

 

The worst day on a cruise ship is still better than the best day at work.

We're on the March 13 Conquest cruise and I so totally agree with your saying about work. Cannot wait!!

Thanks everyone for your reviews. On the Conquest in March with a group of friends and cannot wait!

Cruising on the Carnival Conquest in March 2016 and one of our ports is Montego Bay. We've got a group of about 30 adults who are looking for a beach where we can relax in the sun and have food and adult beverages easily accessible.

Would love to hear from those who have been to both. Would also appreciate other options if anyone knows of any.

Wondering if anyone else has run into this dilemma. Contacted a CLIA certified TA to book a cruise on the Conquest for a group. She got back to me with cabin prices and the quote included $159 port tax, $118.08 govt tax per guest. If you start the booking process on the Carnival website for the same cruise the taxes and port fees are $236.02 for the entire cabin, which is significantly less.

Has anyone else experienced this? Since the information is freely available on the Carnival website I can't figure out why the numbers are significantly different.

Thanks!

I have a general idea where this cabin is. We were in 8557. There was a small amount of noise from Deck 9 when we sailed from Nassau. I could hear a bit of the bass from the music as we pulled out of port, but it was minor. Certainly not enough to keep us awake.

Cruised on the Enchantment Feb 9-13. I rarely drink at home but have to say I'm very glad I invested in the Ultimate drink package as both my husband and I really enjoyed the wide variety of drinks. It was well worth the cost and we definitely got our money's worth.
