JustRambling Posted February 3, 2007 #126 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Has anybody ever heard of American Transport? I'm not sure where it is based out of, but when I called the hotel that we are staying at in Galveston, they told me about this company. I called them and they charge $25 per person to go from Hobby to our hotel on Seawall in Galveston. And it's the same price from the Cruise terminal to Hobby. For the 4 of us, we found this to be the most economical one we've found. However, I a little bit nervous about booking with a company I've not heard about, and I can't find it when I google it. I'm hoping SOMEONE here will know it and let me know if this place has a decent reputation or if there seems to be lots of problems with them. Thanks, Diana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoMeChiefsFan Posted February 3, 2007 Author #127 Share Posted February 3, 2007 For those past cruisers on the Conquest, What kind of food is served at the Sur Mer grill? Also is there another area of the ship that strictly serves Italian Food? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBSaling Posted February 3, 2007 #128 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Is there good duty-free shopping available on board the Conquest? If so, what are the best buys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBSaling Posted February 3, 2007 #129 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Does anyone know whether the Conquest is docking in Cozumel these days, or do we tender? Which pier are they using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondo71 Posted February 3, 2007 #130 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Sur Mer serves seafood. The fish and chips are awsome and they make a good seafood soup too. There won't be any lines on the first few days because no one knows where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yst347 Posted February 3, 2007 #131 Share Posted February 3, 2007 The Conquest has been docking at the Punta Langosta pier in San Miguel. Like all Carnival ships, duty free shopping is available while at sea. You will need to know prices well to know what is a better deal on ship or duty free in ports.

nealstuber Posted February 4, 2007 #133 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Hi. I keep asking this and for some reason I can never find my post to see if there is an answer. Who is the ventriliquist that sometimes performs on the Conquest? I would like to know if he performs on other ships. :) Mark Rubben is the ventriliquist and he has a website: http://www.dummytalk.com Yehmon!

Sea Girls Posted February 4, 2007 #134 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Yes, so true. Many times the stewards will make more noise than if you were across from pax cabins. Especially early in the morning. Thanks for the advise...I just contacted my TA and she moved me to cabin 7393. Hope it's quieter. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aprilivy Posted February 4, 2007 #136 Share Posted February 4, 2007 We'll be sailing on the Conquest April 15 and are so very excited. Thank you for sharing your photos. (The only drawback about sailing on a Sunday - I'll miss the Nextel Cup Race - Go Dale, Jr!!!) We'll be on that sailing as well - wouldn't you know that's the week they're reacing in Fort Worth and that's where we live! Thank God for TIVO and the Sports Bar on the Conquest! See you there?

arby70 Posted February 4, 2007 #140 Share Posted February 4, 2007 My daughter's fiance loves burgers, prime rib and beef steaks (no sauces). He's not a fancy food type of guy. Any suggestions? I heard there is a type of steak that one can order in the dining room any night. Is this true on the Conquest? Does the buffet offer any of the dishes that are served in the dining room each night? Also, do they have any country music venues on this ship? They both like alot of different music, but they also love to dance to county/western music.

yst347 Posted February 4, 2007 #141 Share Posted February 4, 2007 If he doesn't see anything he likes on the menu he can order a Strip steak or a Fillet Mignon; every night if he likes. The ship caters to us Texans. You will find country music in the lobby and along the Promenade deck near the casino every night as well as select venues on other nights.

cnm1974 Posted February 5, 2007 #143 Share Posted February 5, 2007 We just came off the Jan 21 sailing and we didn't miss one night of Blood Power. Unfortunatley that was their last sailing. They were going back to the Phillapines for 2 months and then they were going back on a carnival ship. They didn't know which ship at that time. We were a group of 20 and we all got pictures with them. They were awsome!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnm1974 Posted February 5, 2007 #144 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Steak can be ordered every single night in the dining room if you want. They also have a jumbo angus burger that can be ordered every night. My hubby is not into the fancy stuff either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
