Carnival Conquest Class Cruise Ships - Ports and Sailings

The Conquest Class of ships is one of the newest in the Carnival fleet.  Based on the Destiny class, the Conquest vessels are almost identical to those of the Destiny Class.  The flagship, the Carnival Conquest, set sail in 2002, and her sisters followed quickly.  The Carnival Glory took her maiden voyage in 2003, the Carnival Valor joined in 2004, the Carnival Liberty set sail in 2005, and the Carnival Freedom joined the group in 2007.  Most cruises aboard the Conquest fleet are bound for the Caribbean, though they do offer trips to Europe and a rare transatlantic voyage.

One way the Conquest Class differs from her predecessor Destiny ships is in size.  The Conquest Class ships are larger than the Destiny Class by about 60 feet, making plenty of room for the astounding 3,700 passengers.  The Conquest Class ships also offer additional on board facilities.  One of the additions is a reservations-only restaurant (found only on Spirit Class and Conquest class vessels).  There is a $30 per-person meal charge; wine is included.  Your Tripology travel agent can take care of making dinner reservations for you as well as planning all the details of your trip including flights and hotels you may need pre-and post-cruise.  And if you don’t want to spend the extra money on the reservations dinner, you can expect great things from the 2 on-board dining rooms, the buffet-style restaurant, and 24-hour pizza, sushi, deli, Asian, salad, fish & chips, and ice cream counters.

With the exception of the Carnival Conquest and Glory, all Conquest class ships have a 12’ by 24’ LED screen above the pool on the Lido deck.  Throughout the day you can enjoy movies, concerts, and sports games while lounging on the deck or in the pool.

The higher-end Conquest class offers all that comes standard on Carnival ships:  a lounge with nightly live performances, a variety of themed bars, pools, hot tubs, a casino, arcade, and a spa.   And if you are traveling with children, the Conquest Class ships offer kids and teens sections of the boat.

There are 5 types of staterooms aboard the Conquest ships.  Standard outside cabins are 220 square feet.  60% of outside cabins have balconies that measure in at 35 square feet, though the room sizes shrinks a bit to a still roomy 185 square feet.  For a few extra dollars, you can get an “extended balcony” or a “wraparound balcony.”  To find out which room is right for you, speak with your Tripology travel agent.  If you’re looking for something a bit more spacious, 42 suites and 10 penthouse suites are on each Conquest Class ship.  There are a small number of family staterooms with the option of connecting to the adjacent room.

In the event that something goes wrong, the Conquest Class of ships has a teleradiology system to transmit X-rays on shore digitally for consultations with medical professionals.
