Is there a big difference between the monet and renoir dining rooms? I can't recall if one is nice than the other.

We have dined in both. The Renoir is located mid-ship so it is convenient to most cabins. The Monet is aft which can make for a hike if you have a forward cabin. Both are similarly decorated. The Monet is really nice if you have early dining and receive a table with a view out the large aft windows. If you have late seating it makes no difference as nothing is visible after dark.

 

If you are planning to use anytime dining and catch the main show in the Toulouse-Latrec, you probably will find the Renoir more convenient. If you plan to enjoy the lounges or Disco after dinner the Monet would be closest to those venues.

OK, you are going to be located right above the Latour Wine bar, which is OK, but you are going to get some noise from both Henry's disco(which goes late every night) and from the Blues Piano bar. So, yep be prepared for hearing some noise if you are early to bed folk.

 

If you choose a timed dining option then you are very perfectly placed to make the monet dining room, which is the timed dining, the renior is for anytime dining. You will also be just three floors down from the Lido deck pizza bar, so to me that's a plus.

 

It's just a standard size droom with no frills, no uppers or anything really special. you wont have people across the hall from you, so less chances for late night stumblers annoying you with their noise. However, being just fore of the aft elevators(if that didn't confuse you) you will hear traffice from those headed to and coming from dinner as the aft elevator is the most pointed way to get to the monet if you wanna skip all the photographers.

 

Hopefully I helped.

the renior is now the any time dining location while the Monet is for the timed dining.

Just the second floor of Renior right, not even the whole dining room.

I was under the impression it was the entire Renior?

Thanks alot!!!

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between Category 11 and 12? My mother has always wanted to cruise in a suite, but I can't tell much difference other than a jetted bathtub and a walk-in closet (when watching the Carnival website). I can't find a layout of the two.

 

Thanks,

Kathy

mid ship, starboard, great location near elevators, below the lobby area, so less noise with the floor in between. Shouldn't have extra travelers on your floor, may hear the water if seas are rough.

[RD2GONOW]

Thanks for the info! I'm super excited about going!

sorry I was kinda short with it. I was on the phone with our TA booking our next conquest adventure. 3 times now same ship!! time to go to work. Hope you have a blast!

[RD2GONOW]

No problem! Good for you booking another cruise. I will be cruising with my DD for her senior trip. I think I may surprise my DH by booking a cruise for our 25th anniversary which will be in November of 2010.

I know I'm considering going on the Conquest again for the 3rd time. I'd like to maybe try the Voyager but I haven't had the best service with Royal over the phone and it's a little bit more expensive. I'm afraid I might be bored going on her again so soon. We're going on her for New Years and are taking my in-laws on a cruise in the spring.

Anybody have an opinion about Cat 8C #7371? We had an OV room but I wanted to surprise hubby by upgrading to a balcony.

I noticed Voyager prices up from the $448 prices earlier this week, drat. I should have booked then I guess instead of waiting. I love Voyager. Its a wow ship compared to Conquest which is a nice ship and pretty, but doesnt have that wow factor for me.

 

I do RCL every Easter, the last 3 Easters, so I probably will again. Having been on Conquest 3 times this year alone, variety is the spice of life, we are doing triumph out of New Orleans next.

[KITKAT0229]

Ya prices are higher and we're torn on which itinerary to do on the Voyager. Yes we want to go on the Triumph as well since it offers Belize & Roatan :-)

[gwinel]

When I booked our March cruise the 7 day Voyager prices were lower than 7 day Conquest or 5 day Ecstasy prices. I have no idea why.

[kat44]

Thank you! I must be blind!

I read on another site that the P.C.'s Wok had been converted to the Mongolian Grill - does anyone know if this is true?:rolleyes::rolleyes:

[kfezz]

We are sailing on the Conquest in January and are wondering what time a return flight should be booked for. My daughter and I will be driving from Kansas, but my son needs a return flight to Chicago. I have read about the fog issues and want to plan ahead.
