wanderlust0713 Posted July 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I have an 8 day (interior guarantee) booked on the Vista this September going to San Juan, Grand Turk, St. Kitts, & St. Maarten and we haven't been to any of them but will be going to San Juan and Grand Turk in April. I'm considering switching to the Conquest for the same dates, only a 7 day, going to Grand Turk, San Juan, Amber Cove, & St. Thomas (the same itinerary were scheduled for in April). Should I do it???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Dancer Posted July 25, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2017 No, experience the newer ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxydu Posted July 25, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I guess the question is Why? I've been on both ships and both ships are wonderful but different experiences. I suggest you go ahead with your Vista cruise and book another cruise on the Conquest for a later date. Can't go wrong either way............Enjoy!

TomCruise48 Posted July 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 26, 2017 The Conquest is scheduled for a 2 week dry dock starting 9/30/17. It's been almost 5 years since her last dry dock and she's showing the wear and tear. I would avoid the Conquest until after 10/13/17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofy gopher Posted July 26, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I would go on the Conquest I went on the Vista 1st trip out of New York last November there were lots of good things about it but also things I really did not like. The Main theater is very small and the lines to the to the comedy club so long I don't know if I would sail on her again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoDidly Posted July 26, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 26, 2017 San Juan, Grand Turk, St. Kitts, & St. Maarten , by far better ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisesfun65 Posted July 26, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I've been on the Vista 3 times and twice on the Conquest. Hands down Vista, there's just no comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tycup Posted July 26, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Sounds like the Vista is the best option especially if you are doing the same itenarary as the conquest in April. Go to different ports. St.Kitts and St. Maarten are much better ports. The vista is a nicer newer ship compared to many of the other ships in their fleet. As a far as crowds or long lines that varies by cruise and you can't believe everything you read about how small or crowded everything is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted July 26, 2017 #9 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Vista is a much nicer, newer ship that handles the seas the best of all Carnival's fleet. Conquest goes to Amber Cove, ugh. My vote is for the Vista (which I sailed last year and will sail the Horizon next year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My vote is for the Vista (which I sailed last year and will sail the Horizon next year). Totally agree, plus the Vista is one more day's vacation! I sailed on the Conquest once and didn't like the ship. The buffet wasn't very good. Contrast that with the Vista and all the great food options!

Rare sid_9169 Posted July 26, 2017 #12 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Vista= brand new ship... Conquest= around 15 years old... Easy choice, the new one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderlust0713 Posted July 26, 2017 Author #13 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Thanks everyone! I'm sticking with the Vista Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdiver Posted July 26, 2017 #14 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Personally, I would stick with Vista, as I've never been on it and also I've never been to St. Kitts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamartha Posted July 26, 2017 #15 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I wouldn't change the Vista for the Conquest. Unless there was a HUGE price difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfb4cruzing Posted July 27, 2017 #16 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Haven't been on the Vista but as far as the Conquest, I'd rather sail with Gilligan on a 3 hour tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blainesterrr Posted July 27, 2017 #17 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I'd stick with the extra cruise day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
