Has anyone been on the Conquest lately?

I feel like I can’t find anything recent on the conquest.

We are booked for a quick getaway on a 4 night out of Miami on the Conquest. 

How’s the condition of the ship?

I was thinking about booking the steakhouse, but haven’t been on an older ship recently. Is the steakhouse still worth it on the older ships?

Is there still a cruise elegant night on a 4 night?
What kind of deck parties?

I have not been on Conquest yet, but I also have a short cruise planned on her in October.  You should have 1 elegant night on a 4 night cruise.  I cannot speak to the steakhouse or deck parties unfortunately.

We sailed on her for a 14 night Journey last winter.

1) The ship is 'fine' but understand that her 4/3 scheduling does have an impact. She is an 'un-upgraded' Conquest class boat built in 2002. She's assigned to that weekender itinerary slot for a reason.

2) The age of the ship is totally independent from the chef who prepares your steak. What I can tell you is that the venue is nice enough and that our steakhouse brunch last winter was excellent.

3) Yes, there's a cruise elegant night.

4) Deck parties are no different.  They'll have a Welcome Aboard Sailaway and likely one more; CD's choice.
