[quote=cruisin'4fun;20329536][FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=#800080]Monday and Thursday nights on the Conquest.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/quote]

I think the eastern itinerary is Monday and Friday.

We will be on the last cruise NOT to get to go to Cozumel !! May 31st cruise !!!! Can't wait !!!!!!:) Then I will be on it again June 14th cruise to key west and the bahamas !! Yea !!!!!!:)

 

Enjoy your cruises!:)

It appears from your signature that we have a couple of things in common. You are apparently from Texas and like cruise as much as I do.

True and true.

 

I've been looking at Alaska for bargains, but just booked Mariner early this morning. Maybe something later in summer if prices stay low.

I just booked Diamond Princess southbound from Whittier to Vancouver departing June 27, 2009 for $742.05 single supplement inside cabin, including gov. taxes and $54 transfer from Anchorage to Whittier. That is a good price for Alaska single supplement. If you want it get it quick. My TA said that they were not wanting to hold a cabin for me without $ so I think it will not last long.

 

Good one.:)

I'm NOT seeing this, not familiar with Celebrity's site, but it appears all the prices are "per person" not cabin..

Am I missing something?

I would surely do what you did solo (Alaska's the only state I've not been to!)

 

I wonder if it's still available?:rolleyes:

Here was that link to the Eastern Capers:

Too bad they aren't in Key West until midnight. Right Chuck?;)

Haven't heard much about the eastern itinerary.

 

Did see that 'Anytime Dining' will be added this month.

I posted this before and guess I should have posted it here. I'm taking my Mom for Mother's Day on the Conquest and was just assigined 8B 7426..... Any thoughts? Anyone stayed near or in this stateroom? My Mom is very excited and I want this to be a great trip for her. Thanks!

 

It's fine. Same as most balconies. You'll enjoy it.

Hi there Conquest Experts! We're thinking about trying the Conquest next year at Spring Break. We've cruised out of Galveston at Spring Break on both the Grand Princess and the Voyager, and we liked both ships. Have any of you been on the Conquest and also one or both of those other ships? If so, could you compare them for me?

 

Thanks for your help!

 

hey Cindy

 

Yes I've been on all three during spring break. Seven times overall on the Conquest. I have several reviews on my blog.

Upon entering the Lido area for breakfast I was greeted (on the big screen) by a 20 foot Hilary Clinton on CNN. Kindof scared me.

 

Scares me.:rolleyes:

Does anyone know if the Conquest stays on Galveston time on the new Eastern route? I know we did on the Western, but I was just wondering about the Eastern. We will be on her in a couple of weeks.

 

Good question. Don't know.

[quote name='dudaze11']I have a conquest question. This may have been answered and if so please forgive me, 158 pages is a lot of reading. Why are Texans only allowed to bring one bottle of alcohol back to shore (2 I think if one is purchased and made in Jamaica) and also what is the general consensus on best time to board and not wait long in line. Can anybody provide a link on the official rule about bringing back alcohol as it pertains to residents of Texas.[/quote]

[quote name='sarapdot']Can we get extra hangers brought to our room or should we bring some from home?? I'll be in a room with 3 girls and figure we will need more hangers for our dresses and dinner clothes.[/quote]

Your cabin steward will bring you extras if needed.

[quote name='Cruise Cat']The multiple reports about CNN being blared on the big screen on the Lido are starting to worry me. I hope with the ear buds of my iPod fully inside my ears at full blast, I can drown it out with some actual cruise music.[/quote]

That doesn't sound good, I don't want news on my cruise!:rolleyes:

EZ Cruise is my personal choice.

I have a Conquest Only question, since I'm only going on the Conquest...

 

Do the beds in Cat 12 make into twins?!?

 

Friend and I are celebrating her birthday, but I don't want to sleep that close to her!!

 

Or...does the couch make into a bed that an adult could sleep on?

 

hey Stir

 

Yes they did split, I assume it will be same after dry dock.

I guess once you leave Texas, it becomes an import. How funny.

 

Yes, so I won't pay the premium price since I can get it at Sams.

 

I drink Pilsner Urquell and that's the ONLY place you can get it at all so I do tend to hang at that bar a bit.;)

They still have Shiner after sail away, you just have to go down to the lobby bar to get it. After sail away the premium beers are sold there.

They have Shiner on the Conquest.

Does anyone know if " Conquest" is one of the ships that you can pay 100.00 deposit for a future cruise with in 2 years and receive 100.00 OBC? If there is, could you please tell me where and when !:confused: Julie

 

yes it is--they have a space on the promenade deck between casino and coffee

Which is better EZ Parking or Lighthouse Parking? Security?

 

Thanks,

Debby

 

IMHO- EZ Cruise

Is the Conquest getting the sea side theater when she goes into dry dock?

TIA..

Yes:)

Just recently got our cabin assignment for our 2-15-09 sailing on the Conquest. We got a nice upgrade to cabin 1110 on the Spa Deck. Anyone have any information on the cabin or the location in general?

Thanks!

 

Those cabins will be completely redesigned in the January dry dock. They will be very premium. That's quite an upgrade.

Your Cruise Director, Ralph Valente has invented a Cruise Critic Secret Sign!

 

He did it at our 12/14 Conquest Sailing Meet and Greet! It was a way that we could identify ourselves, both to each other, and to him.

 

Here's how it goes:

 

Make a C with your left hand. Make a mirror image C (backwards) with your right hand. Hold them up in front of you about 4 inches apart. Just a quick "CC Flash" for a couple of seconds. (kinda like you're taking a picture with an invisible camera...)

 

Ralph would flash this secret sign before the shows, and if one of our CC group responded, he would escort them to front row seats. If you said hi to him, he was friendly, but if you flashed the CC secret sign, he was really friendly! (I guess that's because we got him 90 Spicy BBQ wings in Grand Cayman!)

 

You would probably really freak him out if you flashed him the secret sign early on in the cruise!

 

Try to get Host Mach involved, he will arrange for Ralph to come to any meet and greet that you set up. In ours, he brought a comedian, and had trivia games for trinkets (coozies, drink coupons, head massage, etc). We had like 65 attending, and it was a lot of fun.

He's a keeper as a cruise director. Hope he's on the Conquest for a long time.
