Conquest only Questions! Post 'em Here!

[Bradtez]

Just off the conquest a week ago ( wishing we were back most definately).

They still have the hamburgers, yummy fries, pizza and non stop ice cream by the pool.

Bloodpower play everything from queen to bryan adams and damn they are GREAT!

We had cabin 7230 (port side suite) and it was awesome , a great view of all the ports.

Jamacia, we did sunset beach, highly recommend this, nice beach good food and i drunk every cocktail on the list at least once!

Cayman Islands, we just wandered around and did some shopping

Cozumel, we did the cooking school, what a hoot, great fun. Then went into town and shopped, did not get hassled once about buying pot.

[CruisinMama7]

Does the Conquest hold a passenger talent show? DH plays the guitar and writes his own music. He has entered the talent show on our last two cruises. Absolutely loves getting up in front of a bunch of people. Personally, it would be sheer agony for me, especially while on vacation! But he likes all of the compliments that he receives afterwards - good for his ego, I guess.

 

Also, did anybody find out when Blood Power plays their last gig on the Conquest? I checked out their website, but found nothing that alluded to this fact. Somebody stated on an earlier post they thought maybe March or April. We set sail on March 25 and would love to check them out.:cool:

can you explain this cooking school thing....my wife may want to know about this!

[Bradtez]

The excursion was booked thru Carnival, they take you down to playa del mia beach (?) it was around $79 per person and included is the beach, all you can drink alcoholic and non, plus food. For the cooking class, you pair up with your better half, and drink lots while preparing a 3 course lunch and having plaenty of laughs. After you have cooked they serve you the food you cooked with a few glasses of wine. we cooked mexican sooes, fish fillet with mango sauce and rice pudding towers.

I would recommend this tour.

Sounds like lots of fun. How long were you cooking (& drinking;) ) how much beach time did you get?

Thank you SOO much for posting all this info.....I am looking at booking the Conquest on Aug. 19th of this year. Should be able to book real soon here, so will have fun looking over all these links!

[okiesand67]

My dh and I are booked on March 4th!! First time leaving my 2 year old daughter for a vacation....anyway--I keep reading about Sunset Beach and have not seen it on the shore excursion page, how do I book it? We were thinking about doing the Sandals resort but have not seen any feedback on it.....thanks

[breanne$5]

You don't book Sunset. Just take a cab from the port, about $3 each, it's only a few minutes away. It's $40 adults, $20 kids - includes drinks, food, snorkle equip, boats, water park. We'll be their in March!

[okiesand67]

thanks so much for the info...that is what we will definately do!!!

no problem hope you enjoy!

[oldvato]

Crusing Mama7,

 

We were on the Conquest last May and will be on again this May. As far as the talent show, last year the talent was made up of people who could imitate other stars such as Frank sinatra, Aretha, Elvis, and so forth. They had a contest to pick the performers who can imitate the stars the best. Then they dress them as best they can to look like the real artists.

 

I don't know if they show is already set up and they just add singers or if they put the show together based on what each person will sing.

[summergal]

Sounds like lots of fun. How long were you cooking (& drinking;) ) how much beach time did you get?

 

My mom did this class and I think it was a couple of hours for cooking and the rest was fun time until it was time for her to leave. If you want to cook I suggest to book before you go b/c they tend to fill up b/c it is so popular.At least that is what she was told.

[Avril]

I have capers if anyone needs them!

 

I would love to see the Capers. Email them to assumptionchic@gmail.com. I sail on Conquest in February 2008 on a CC group cruise!! Can't wait!! :D

 

Thanks!!

As I mentioned, Albert stated they would be leaving in March or April, I don't know the exact date... I can try to find out, but they thought it would be April (that was in October) I've never seen a website for them :confused:

 

Scared to post to much here, scared it will make me a Nascar fan :eek:

 

To the person asking about the bottles, yes, they do have the new aluminum bud bottles (bud and bud light)

I'm trying to find out if my cabin has been assigned. I booked through a TA and used the method below. When I see the names listed on my Fun Pass I do not have any options listed below it. Is anyone else able to do this?

This method stopped working a while back (the book/modify works for those booked directly with Carnival) Sorry :( You'll have to wait and see if it is on your docs, or when you get to the pier. Assignments are usually done about 7 weeks out, give or take... but that doesn't mean you will know what it is. You can also search every cabin on the ship if you have time :p LOL

I don't know if they show is already set up and they just add singers or if they put the show together based on what each person will sing.

 

It's called the Legends show... they hold auditions earlier in the week. The show is pretty much set up, and they just look for people to play the roles of the various people... Garth, Aretha, Madonna, etc. They have set performers, so you can't perform just anything...
