Just back from the Conquest and OMG what a great time we had. This was my second and my boyfriend's fourth cruise. By far, this was the absolute best we have been on. Everyone on this ship was so nice and pampered us. Very attentative to our needs and desires. Chris Jefferson, the cruise director was awesome and so funny! He along with the entertainment staff kept us laughing and on our toes. Katie, who is known on the ship and "Orphan Annie" because she looks just like her, was great! Loved her accent! Too bad she was leaving for vacation and was her last trip on the Conquest! And then there was Stitch and Jacob, all were fabulous! I cannot say enough about all of them. The dining staff was very good as well. Our servers were very gracious to us and very funny. Food was awesome in the dining room! Just for future reference to any future cruisers, order more than one lobster on formal night. And the chocolate melting cake was "to die for!" I bet I gained almost 10 pounds on this cruise...The shows were amazing! Miami Vice was my drink of choice, you should really try it if you like frozen drinks. The ship was beautiful. We met some really nice people aboard. We took the Western Caribbean so we went to Montego Bay, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. We booked two excursions for our trip thru Carnival and were very pleased. Anyone feeling adventurous should really try out the "Tranopy Tour" in Jamaica. You can book it with Carnival and it is at a place called Mystic Mountain. We boarded a very nice, clean bus in Montego Bay and rode across the country to Ocho Rios where the excursion was. The ride was an hour and a half long but well worth it. Got to see the mountains of Jamaica. Once we arrived, I knew the trip was worth it. The excursion consisted of taking a chairlift up the mountain, through the jungle. But as your being lifted, the scenery is absolutely fabulous, on both sides. One side is the ocean and on the other is mountains. Breathtaking is the best way for me to describe! Once we reached the top of the mountain, you take a bobsled ride thru the jungle. AWESOME, if you like roller coasters! Once off of that they take you to the restaurant on grounds and feed you Jamaica's famous "jerk chicken". By the way, it was great. After lunch you can do some shopping in the gift shop before you are brought over to the last adventure of the excursion, ziplining!!! I have to say, THIS WAS TOTALLY AMAZING AND FUN!!!! When we boarded the bus to return to port, there was nobody on that bus that did not have fun! There are many tours you can book but this one was called the Tranopy Tour. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to be adventurous!!! The next excursion we booked was the "Snuba" in Grand Cayman. This was totally fun!!!! It's kind of a mix between snorkeling and scuba diving. We went down about 20-25 feet and saw beautiful fish, a shipwreck and a coral reef. Very fun! Guides were excellent! We both had already visited Cozumel so we new what to expect. We did not book and excursion there, we just wanted to shop and walk around to take in the sights. Be prepared for the shop owners to bug you, it's endless!!! Overall this cruise was an 11 on a scale of 1-10!! The pictures that Carnival takes of you on the ship are very good. They are a little pricey, but once you see them they are so good some you just can't pass up. Especially the formal ones. I was so sad when we docked back in Galveston, I was not ready for it to end. This was the first vacation EVER that I had been on that I actually lost track of what day it was. To me, that is a true sign of what a good time I had!! Keep up the good work Carnival!!! Kudos to you!
