cruisinbanddirectors Posted January 6, 2013 #126 Share Posted January 6, 2013 If I remember correctly, years ago, this window served Asian food, but they haven't used it for anything in a while. I guess potential for future food! yep, used to be the Asian Corner I, like you, don't miss the Mongolian Wok (lines were always TOO long). However, I do miss ships having a dedicated Asian corner. I loved being ale to get some Asian food every day for lunch if I wanted. Loving the review! We sailed on the Conquest the week of Christmas and really enjoyed looking at the pics on your website before we went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Mongolian Wok and at night pay Asian restaurant will be returning on Carnival Sunshine. Thank you! Today is a travel day, so posts will be sporadic at best.

cruisinbanddirectors Posted January 6, 2013 #128 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Speaking of lines...how is the line for breakfast burritos, compared to the often-long omelet lines? I'll throw in my two cents on this. When we were on the Conquest a couple of weeks ago, the lines were never bad at Blue Iguana Cantina. When there was a line it moved pretty quickly. And the burritos were VERY filling. I was a big fan of the tacos! You mentioned omelette Lines..I never found them to be long on this sailing. It seemed like they had maybe 7-8 different stations so people were spread out among all those. It was a nice change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltsfan1976 Posted January 6, 2013 #130 Share Posted January 6, 2013 So much for booking a Foward interior cabin on the lido for next week hoping to walk out on the bridge whenever we wanted.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunchesofun Posted January 6, 2013 #131 Share Posted January 6, 2013 As I stated in another post, we are taking the Conquest Nov 16, the repositioning cruise. We have only sailed on the Pride before. I was looking at the deck plans and it looks like on a couple of the main decks you can not get from one end of the ship to the other. You have to go to another deck, go past the place you want to go, then go up or down and backtrack to where you want to go. Is that correct? It seems kind of inconvenient.

All Conquest ships have this issue (one reason we prefer Spirit or Dream class to Conquest class). Decks 3 and 4 don't give you a straight shot. You must go up to 5 or down to 2 to get from certain parts of the ship to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGnder Posted January 6, 2013 #133 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Holy cats! I'm loving the pics and reviews! My family (of 23!) is sailing on the Conquest on Jan. 27th. I'm so pumped now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan555 Posted January 6, 2013 #134 Share Posted January 6, 2013 So much for booking a Foward interior cabin on the lido for next week hoping to walk out on the bridge whenever we wanted.:mad: Last time we were on Lido, we thought we'd spend a lot of time out there, and we only ended up doing it once. We'll be on the Lido on Conquest again in two weeks, and I'm excited about being so close to all the new bars and eateries :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bindy1 Posted January 6, 2013 #135 Share Posted January 6, 2013 So the Taste Bar took the place of the Sushi Bar. Can you still get sushi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed like they had maybe 7-8 different stations so people were spread out among all those. It was a nice change! I rarely encountered any lines anywhere. I did see one the last day for fish and chips that I would not have been pleased with. Most of the ones I did see were for impatient people lining up before a venue even opened. What do you expect? Always enjoy your pictures and your food porn site! :D I blame you for ruining my diet! :p Thank you and you're welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sargent_Schultz Posted January 6, 2013 Author #147 Share Posted January 6, 2013 The pretzels were 2 for $1.25, I think For some events, the bar would have some snacks like hot dogs or chicken pieces parts. Not sure if hot wings or chicken tenders - I never saw them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kitchen is between the two main dining rooms on decks 3 and 4. Well for example our 12 yo daughter is going to Circle C and that is on one of the decks that you can't get there directly from our cabin. I prefer to walk one end to the other on "public" decks, not stateroom decks so it will be a little inconvenient in my mind anyway :) Oh well, just need to think of it as a little more exercise I guess.
