Carnival Conquest - 1st Trip Report of 2024!

[havanadaydreaming]

BTB july 1 cruise. (4 nt interior, 3 nt OV) 

 

I was looking to kill time this am and read up on the Conquest.  I was surprised to see the most recent thread was from Dec 2023.  Soooo, im starting a thread albeit a tad early. 

 

We have sailed Conquest 1x and i have fond memories. 

 

 

 

There will be a bourbon hunt for best pour available onboard ship. 

 

Gonna hit sports trivia once or twice.  I will defer from playing for ship on a stick if i have previously heard the questions.  

 

Will tally the best buffet item of each sailing.  Odds on favorite is a lunch dessert. 

 

Will also tally # of jimmy buffett songs i hear on PA or live that week.  

 

We have a mess of OBC and are strongly considering the steakhouse, which we have never done on CCL.  Loved the one on NCL, disliked the one on MSC.  

 

And What To Do In Nassau 2x in a week.  (We just spent six nights there in March for a work trip)  i love Nassau but i know thats not a widespread opinion.  

 

Best and Worst Slot Machines of the week.

If you're curious to see how Carnival Conquest looks now, Cruise Critic sailed aboard the ship in April and we published a large photo tour of the vessel here:

i love this size ship, 2900 pax.

 

just checked in and selected the 10am boarding for the 2nd half of the B2B...by far our earliest boarding ever.

Just bought 12 pack water to be delivered to room. 

 

$17.50 after fees.

Booked a $15pp van shuttle from FLL to Port Miami.  Looking forward to reporting back how this works out.  Phenomenal bargain if there is no hair on this booking. 

 

Lyft was $100ish.  Carnival was about $40pp and we would have to wait until noon to depart. We land 945am.

Looking forward to hearing who you booked and how it works out.

3 days til sailaway and it looks like there is a tropical depression in the atlantic ocean that has 80% chance to form into tropical storm/hurricane.  

 

the spaghetti models tend to make it look like storm will dive below Cuba and head to the Mexican Riviera region.  

 

whew.  (we had a tropical storm on our Mexican wedding and a hurricane there on our 10 yr anniversary.  which is in two days.  ha!)
