Carnival Conquest

Cruise to Nowhere
November 22, 2002
I just got back from a one night stay courtesy of a
United Way charity event on the brand new Carnival
Conquest and there is only one word to descibe it.
AWESOME! The ship is a technological and
engineering marvel. From the moment you enter the
nine story atrium (aka Artists Lobby) with it's
glass enclosed elevators rising up to the roof, you
realize this is not just another ship. The ship is
huge, but you never get the feeling that it is. You
feel more like you are in the Forum shops at
Ceasars Palace. Every restaurant, lounge, shop,
just lead from one to another.

They have two pools and the pool on the top deck
has a stage right in front. The deck lounge chairs
are arranged in stadium seating which is a nice
touch. The huge water slide is perched on top of
the ship, very cool. Now like I said, I was only on
one night but I am going back to cruise over
Thanksgiving weekend so I'll post more. Then I'll
be able to give you more info on the casino,
entertainment and the food. On our over nighter the
food was really good, but we mostly ate at
Restaurant Cezanne which is buffet, but really
tasty. I'm looking forward to trying the sushi and
the seafood from Sur Mer. Ok, More when I return!
