Gilesgirl8 Posted June 21, 2009 #3301 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I'm not sure if this has already been answered but....does the big screen play movies under the stars or just cnn non stop?

hewettbride09 Posted June 21, 2009 #3302 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Hey everyone, I am leaving on the conquest aug 23rd for my honeymoon and was wonderding if anyone had stayed in cabin 1067. If so how was it? I know it is on one of the upper decks so I was wondering about noise, I don't really want to hear the band playing until 3am, when I am trying to spend time with my new husband... Thanks, Tiffany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise_Q Posted June 21, 2009 #3306 Share Posted June 21, 2009 [quote name='arsavoy']If you have stayed in cabins 7202-7204 on Carnival Conquest Empress deck please give me your input. Thanks Allison[/quote] I have 7204 booked and will be leaving 7/26/09. I will let you know and take lots of pic for you...I do feel that this is the best kept secret on the boat as it is inside price w/a ocean view/deck out side the room...it is public deck but from what i hear most people don't even know the deck is there...:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never saw CNN on it the whole time. Maybe I just didn't catch it. They mostly played the morning show with the CD, shopping and port talks and when the bands were playing they would show them on the screen. They also played music videos on it often. I enjoyed it most of the time and it didn't bother me the rest of the time. The only movie I can remember being played was Wal-E :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrid Posted June 21, 2009 #3308 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Leaving next Sunday on Conquest. Driving in Sunday from DFW with with another family and doubtful we will get to Port check-in before 11 am. Trying to determine if anyone has any recent experience as the worst times to arrive for check-in??? I figure arriving 12-1 much longer lines than say 2 pm, but just wondering what fellow cruisers out of Galveston have experienced... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoplady Posted June 21, 2009 #3309 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Has anyone stayed in a balcony cabin on the Spa Deck?? We were just wondering if there is much noise from Camp Carnival above. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lines are terrible later in the day. I think we arrived about 2-3pm. We waited FOR E-V-E-R!!! I always stay the night before in galveston and then arrive to checkin around 11am.

I think that I read somewhere that due to HomeLand Security everyone must be on-board 1 hour prior to sailing. Tooo risky for me!

Kakk Posted June 22, 2009 #3316 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hello ALL!!! Been on the Conquest, in a balcony before. Is there a big difference in a 9A and reg balcony. I have found pics of the room but these were taken in '05 and I beleive ??? the ship has been refurbished since then? Also, puter service. Anyone know if its worth taking laptop, price, ect. or just use the internet cafe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KajunKruiser Posted June 22, 2009 #3317 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Does any one have any photos or advice for the rooms on the balcony cabins? What decks were the laundry facilities on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCCruisin' Posted June 22, 2009 #3318 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hi Kajun Kruiser, I don't have any photos of the aft balcony, but I do have the deck plans showing where everything is on each deck of the conquest.

gwinel Posted June 23, 2009 #3319 Share Posted June 23, 2009 If we are in an aft cabin does that mean that we will be in the aft dining room? Is one better than the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeinSA Posted June 23, 2009 #3322 Share Posted June 23, 2009 We were on the same cruise as saraspdot and drove to Galveston the day of the cruise (I couldn't afford a hotel for all in my group). That was our first experence at same day arrival, we've always stayed in Galveston overnight before. We must have been very blessed because we got to Galveston around 11:45, parked at Lighthouse parking, got to the terminal about 12:00 and were on the ship 15 minutes later with very short lines. Guess it all comes down to when everyone else arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimeejo Posted June 23, 2009 #3323 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Has anyone stayed in cabin 8406 or category 4F? Is it noisy? It shows to be right under the restaurant on the lido deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txlady753 Posted June 24, 2009 #3324 Share Posted June 24, 2009 We were on the Conquest in December for our fifth time. So we are really familiar with this ship. We are hoping that they will change the Las Vegas shows this year. I heard from one of the cruise directors that they change them every five years, and the Conquest is now in her fifth year - so please, give us some new shows! We don't even really like the ones they have, so we are hoping for something better when we go back in December. (Yes, I know - but we are crazy about this ship and the itinerary, and it is so convenient for us.) Sherryl I agree! It was my 3rd time last week and I left it on the comments card.

txlady753 Posted June 24, 2009 #3325 Share Posted June 24, 2009 So do you have to excange you US currency for the local currency in order to buy at the shops there?If so, where would one do this? Everyone and everywhere that you might go will more than likely take the beloved American dollar. So no worries about exchanging. Just remember to keep small bills handy.
