  1. Chicken Parmigiana was on the main dinning room menu Day 1 on Conquest in April..and it was awesome!!
  2. Mine were orange (deck 6 mid ship) Now they are red...looks like some sort of error? I'm going to stick with the orange ones that I've already printed
  3. On the first day menu on Conquest there is Broiled Strip Loin Steak ( is the flat iron steak a thing of the past?) Tried it last cruise and it was just OK. My Question is if your order the $20 NY strip loin steak from the steakhouse options is it a better cut and worth the upgrade? Also with these options coming from another galley are they delivered hot and yummy? Thanks Daddo
  4. Red Frog Bar on Conquest opened at 7...
  5. The old fashioned BBQ is the best kept secret for embarkation day. Doug Parker of Cruise News Today mentions this in his Conquest review and I can tell you its true. Last April we went for lunch -while the buffets were crazy - and there was one other couple there? Food was great BBQ chicken, pulled pork, beef brisket, and salads like coleslaw potato salad etc....but keep in mind this is just between you and me ...We are back on Conquest in April this year...Cheers
  6. They will put you at a table for two ...that's the good news ...the next table for two will be inches away so you just have to roll with it ...I met some really nice folks at the next table and a couple who were not into chatting which was fine by me...and it will likely be staggered so you might be having your main course when they sit down to order and you usually get the same table if you come around the same time each night
  7. Its not included in the 59.95 per day ....its 59.95 plus 10.79 gratuity so 70.75 per day per person... and of course you can save a bit if you purchase on line before you cruise
  8. Also I had booked the drink package before the price increase but that went with the revision and I will have to re-book at the new price
  9. I have moved my cruise three times and kept my $198 deposit for each ....I believe this is a covid thing and yes because the $500 on board credit was still part of the promotion I moved from this November to next April I got this as well. And the most recent revision was easy with only being on hold for a few minute.
  10. Are you telling me my free bottle of water is at risk?
  11. the 4.32 is the 18 % gratuity which you would pay anyway and the tax is because your still in port
  12. Overpriced beers on a cruise ship in Miami is not bad at all!!! Next cruise I have a $500 on board credit ...look out !!!
  13. It was Carnival Conquest in April of this year
  14. I did a bucket at the aft bar and didn't get the dollar off deal so yes go to The Red Frog Bar
  15. They are now 6 to a bucket and a buck off the $7 per beer price so 6 @ $6 =$36 plus tip 18% so $42.48 plus state tax if your in a US port
  16. Also I'm paying 7.00$ plus 18% for a beer that costs Carnival less than a dollar which is good as I'm a stock holder
  17. Yes they work their tails off and almost all are awesome ...but pick one ...Prepaid Gratuities so its fair for all or grease the skids to the crew that are part of your cruise
  18. Come on your're already paying 10 times what a drink costs plus 18% gratuity when you buy the package ? Do you really think the staff think your special..they don't
  19. Are you referring to me with this reply? I’ll have you know I’ve had people at the end of a cruise mention to me how well behaved and well mannered my daughters were on the cruise and that is one of the best highlights a father could have. Again your in a dining room dress accordingly it's not that difficult
  20. If your boys are 16 & 17 and haven't a clue how to dress for dinner and want to wear gym shorts...thats on you....good luck
  21. From the moment you book a constant flow of email offers begins. Cheers, Dinning, Internet, Excursions....but never an cabin upgrade option. I booked an oceanview as I was going solo and because I'm paying for two wanted to keep the cost down. DW decides she will be joining me and naturally she prefers a balcony. The issue is I have a $500 on board credit with this booking and may lose it if I chnge my booking so I wonder why they dont offer upgrade opportunity's?
