!6th cruise, first time on the Conquest. The date, itinerary and recommendation from friends were the reasons f we chose this ship.
This was the first time we sailed from Fort Lauderdale and even without Platinum status (yet!) or FTTF, it was by far the easiest boarding and debarkation experience so far.
Although an older vessel, it was clean and easy to find our way around.
We've had every type of cabin and now prefer the cheapest available in order to be able to cruise more often.
I put the upper bunk mattress on the floor for sleeping, then put in in the berth while getting ready for the day. The extra floor space provided that way is quite nice.
Long walk down the beach to Jack's Shack to meet Topher and Calypso. Had a good time sitting on the beach ($10 for two lounge chairs and one umbrella).
Santa meet Jack and Janet's granddaughter, Aubrey and got pictures with them and several guests.
