Hello. Sailed conquest July 10th. For basic WiFi the discount was pre cruise. $5 off for the five day plan..... no discount on board, unlike last year

Thank you. THAT makes sense..... so, once you check in (and have your picture taken), it's smooth sailing..... Sorry....pardon my humor

I don't understand how this does not invite theft?? They say the room is locked, but there is nothing in the room....but the access to my credit card is sitting in the envelope in plain site with easy access....:eek: can someone explain, please?

On port days was it hard to find food once back on ship? Or long lines for the places open? Thanks

 

 

 

Yes, we found this to be an issue on the Grand Cayman day (we were back to the ship early from Ocho Rios). We got back on board at 3:30 with MANY others, and the buffet was closing. Guys was open and packed.... luckily, we had heard someone on the tender talking about a BLT from room service and that sounded good to us. We ordered 2 sandwiches (too much lettuce, easily removed, but otherwise quite good!), some veggies and relaxed in the air conditioning of our room. Worked out very well for us :)

How were the night time shows ?

I am assuming you do not mean the comedy shows, or Dive in Movies? There were 3 musical shows largely based on 80s music. They were loud but enjoyable. One of them was kind of movie/music based. We always enjoy a live show, and the majority of the songs were hits everyone was familiar with. The theater is beautiful and a cruise cocktail completes the setting.:)

There was also a Hasbro game show that we did not attend.

We did NOT do an excursion in Ocho Rios. That port did convince me that if I get off the boat in the future, I'm taking an excursion. There isn't too much right near the pier...other than the Jamaican s that dog your every move. It's frustrating. Difficult to converse with the people you are with. Not scary or menacing, just really annoying.

Wonderful cruise to Ocho Rios and Grand Cayman. Thanks all for your advice:D

Just 1, but it's a good one. And it's mine. Lol

Have fun! We're getting on that ship when you return, so please be sure to disembark quickly!

Lol. We'll try to keep things "ship shape" for you ! (Sorry. I'm EXCITED:D)

Thanks. Good Advice I'm sure....

hello. Just reviewing my docs and my BOARDING PASS lists ARRIVAL APPT 12-12:30, but the BOOKING SUMMARY lists BOARDING TIME AS 1:30 - 3:00. Have I done something wrong? should they be the same??? do we arrive and wait to be processed? or just mill around for a while?? Boarding on Conquest, Jul 10. Any help appreciated.

Leaving Monday. Hoping someone who sailed this itinerary will respond.... I was hoping to skip excursions.... I know it will be okay to wander in Cayman, but a little worried about Ocho Rios...

How was Conquest???

So sorry you father is unwell. Did you pay for cruise with credit card?? Some cards have insurance just because you used the card. Call credit card company and find out. Good luck.

What I do know for sure is that food almost always tastes better when I'm not the one shopping, cooking, serving, clearing the table, and washing the dishes:D:D

This is SO true. Add an ocean view and a tropical drink and almost anything can be enjoyed.:D

Excuse me. What does it mean when a cruise is a journeys cruise?

Thank you!:)

Has anyone done cruise check in @ Miami airport?? Pros? Cons? YOUR recommendations??

Thank you.

I just read a post where someone mentioned that sign and sail cards are in the cabins, not given at check in...is it like that on all ships?? Specifically Conquest? If you board before rooms are ready can you buy a drink?? Cash only?? Please explain. Thank you

I miss the Document Dance. I was just missing the document dance! It was a step closer... milestone of sorts.

I am really enjoying your review!! I like that you have lots of pics and just the right amount of text!! You kind of let the pictures do the talking and you just add the details.

Thanks for sharing ; )

Whenever I compared carnival was cheaper$

Great information re airport check-in and shuttle related check in time. Thank you all for taking the time!

I have never had to schedule an arrival appointment. I know when the plane is scheduled to land, but then we will be waiting for Carnival to fill up the shuttle and take us to port everglades. If plane lands at 10:30 am, when do you think Carnival shuttles will start leaving for the port?

I booked my cruise last week and just finished insuring with insuremytrip.com. They had lots of plans, I was able to compare, and spoke with people via chat for my questions.

Hello. Arriving @Miami airport about 10am. Planning on shuttle to port everglades. Any idea when I should schedule arrival appointment?
