Conquest

I'm looking for any information on the Conquest thinking of going with a large group...

Anything specific? There is tons of info on the boards.

You might start with the review section and then ask specific questions. Also, sites like Travelocity will have some basic info and pictures.

We loved the Conquest. Probably one of my favorites so far. We are going on the Valor in March, which is set up just like the Conquest. Although my review is a year old, I think you will have some of your questions answered.

Took 14 people with me on Conquest in 2003. It was great. What do you need to know?

We were a family of 14 that just came back from the Conquest a few weeks ago. What do you want to know?

Just wanting to know how the kids area is and how the food was and also if anyone has any pictures to share...

Should have my pictures back and up on our webshots page by Friday, but here's my recent review in the meantime -- we loved the Conquest!

We had 5 girls, 8-14. All were able to find activities. The oldest is an avid basketball player and spent most of her time on the basketball court. The 12 and 13 year old were at the makeup demos, dance lessons, games and did some of the preteen activities. The 8 years olds did some Camp Carnival. One really enjoyed it, one is less outgoing and perferred staying with the family. The 18 year old boy spent time in the disco, listening to the bands and as he is outgoing, meeting others his age.

 

The 6 40something parents enjoyed the shows, the sun, etc. The grandparents danced to the big band shows and enjoyed the balcony for reading and working crossword puzzles.

 

The food was great. Something for everyone. The younger ones enjoyed trying new dishes and the waiters were very patient with them. We celebrated 2 birthdays and an anniversary with cakes and singing in the dining room.

Invest in a good set of Walkie Talkies. They were a big help to us last week on the Conquest. There will be a time or two that they don't work. But in seven days a time or two isn't bad at all.

I just wanted to comment on walkie talkies. We didn't have extra money to buy any, and we knew we would not need them later so we went without them. I was a little worried. I did take post it notes though. We had 14 people in 5 cabins that were next door to each other.

 

I was amazed how often we saw others from our group. We never went anywhere on the ship that we didn't see one of them. We didn't even need the post it notes. So I am not sure walkie talkies are needed that much. I think they are great if you can afford them but they are kind of like cell phones. Convenient but you can get by without them.
