I got ours for our 4/4/15 sailing too. We had it for the first time this spring and it was worth it for us. It felt like our vacation truly got off to an early start with being able to go right to the room and drop off our bags and be completely unpacked before muster.

I'm not seeing any certain number available when I look at FTTF on our excursion list. It just appears available.

All drinks at Alchemy are covered under Cheers at 8.95 and you can even request upgraded liquor for 9.95. We got way more than our moneys worth and can't wait for our next cruise to have a few cucumber sunrises again.

I always print mine about a week before we sail in case of any last minute on board credit. I pay our gratuities before we sail. I also have a folder with all of our documents (air, hotel, shuttle, cruise, cruise cash certificates etc) but after this last cruise will be making 2 folders since I somehow lost it between our first hotel before flying out and so had none of my documents!!!! I have no idea how I did that. Fortunately the hotel at the embark port let me print my boarding pass. Yikes!

I'm curious too. I just got the same notice from Photobucket. I know on my phone I can use Dropbox or Snapfish but I'm not sure if those can also be used on computers to transfer. I'll have to check that out. In the meantime, any other ideas are appreciated.

Or...........I have 3 or 4 email addresses, can I sign up for Photobucket with a different one and start the bandwidth over again?

It just opened for our 4/4/15 Conquest sailing from Fort Lauderdale and I got one! We had it recently on the Sunshine and felt it was well worth the $50 to zip through special check in lines and get onto the ship early and be able to take our things right to our room and begin our vacation without them.

I'm jealous too! Still watching every day!

I'm so jealous! Have a great cruise!

If you're going on a plane, you can carry on a corkscrew without a blade. So just make sure that the kind you have is allowed in your carryon for TSA.

We definitely didn't know that and put it in our carry on going home. Both of our carry ons were searched thoroughly at the airport and the corkscrew was confiscated. Our bag of sand made it home though. We were starting to wonder!

We were forward on Lido (deck 9) and never smelled any bad odors there. I can't recall if we were in any areas of the ship where anything was bad.

For what it's worth, there have been times on every ship that we've sailed that we smelled a bit of sewage odor in places. Never anything that hung around. It wouldn't bother us unless it lingered or was in an eating area.

Wow, I just noticed that the year in my pictures is wrong. This was just this past March. Oh well. I'll have to fix that before we go on vacation again!

We had a 6J on the Sunshine recently and loved it. The curtain was closed each night when we came in and we opened it after turning off all of the lights and could see the stars from our bed as well as the sun rising in the mornings. Our room steward said as long as the lights were off that was fine.

I've booked all of ours a year or more in advance too and have never seen this either. I'm checking every day.

I purchased some recently and selected to be delivered on day 1. It was on my account when I boarded and I didn't need to do anything. I did go to Guest Services to make sure since I wanted to buy Cheers and didn't want to have a hassle in case it wasn't there yet. Next time I'll not need to go and check, it will be there.

We bought the Khaki colored ones on the Splendor and the beautiful yellow Serenity ones on the Breeze. I also got the new ones from Bon Voyage recently on the Sunshine. They're thinner but have a beautiful scene on them. We love having them as reminders of our cruises and use them often.

We'll hopefully be platinum someday and with 6 cruises have 43 days sailed. There are many with fewer sailed days who are platinum.

We bought FTTF for the first time on our most recent cruise and I'm watching for it to appear again and will buy it if I see it. Love to drop our bags off in the room and have shorter lines for checking in and tenders etc.

We had Lido balcony 10276, I think that's mid, very close to the doorway to the pool area. Fantastic location and would book that area again in a heartbeat.

These are both important concerns for my husband. I just read in a review that the Sunshine cabins have no way to control the temperature. Please tell me this is not true! We are in an ocean view on deck five if that makes a difference. My husband likes it very cool – so this could definitely be an issue.

 

Also, is there a basketball court one board – full-court or half court?

We had a control in our cabin but it was a newly added cabin (6J) so I'm not sure if all cabins have them. We were able to keep our room very comfortable. I didn't look for a basketball court but I think there is one. You can check the deck plans for that.

We had a great cruise just over a month ago on the Sunshine.

I think you will love it anyway. It has an adults only pool in the aft that is very quiet, and all of the 2.0 stuff other than Serenity.

 

We just got off two weeks ago and wish we could go back. What a great cruise ship with wonderful crew!

Thanks! That's great to hear! I've been seeking feedback on the Conquest and it seems to flow easily so I have no worries that we'll have a great cruise!

We've enjoyed all of our cruises, including the Splendor. We were moved to the Conquest from the Freedom for April 2015 and are going to give her a try, even though she doesn't have Serenity.

I tried it the first night of our first cruise in 2008 and never had it again. I didn't hate it but found that I like other things much more.

If the bartender makes you a drink not on the menu, is it covered under the Cheers package?

It is included in Cheers, and you can upgrade your liquor making it 9.95, but free on your receipt. Cucumber Sunrise is my favorite and definitely got our moneys worth with Cheers :D

On our recent Sunshine sailing there were reservations open for any of these restaurants without having done it prior to boarding.

Cucina may well have been our best dinner of all of our cruises. Even the steakhouse. Can't wait to be on a ship with that again.

Bonsai was fantastic and so inexpensive for the wonderful creations they made.

When Galveston got the Conquest after Katrina wiped out NOLA we didn't appreciate the gift we received for a few years. That was a mistake.

 

Our first trip aboard resulted in three more, and all were fantastic. Wished she was still in New Orleans, we'd make an extended vacation.

Have a great cruise.

Your pictures are amazing! A testament to why I can't function unless I have a cruise booked, lol. It looks like the Conquest may not help our addiction either :D

I'm glad that others are looking for info too. Moving back to the top in hopes of some more feedback from Conquest cruisers.

Happy Monday!

We actually got it $120 pre and $109 post. Thanks again for the help.

Wow, I just checked Springhill Suites for 4/3/15 and it's 299 :(
