Carnival Conquest receives generally positive reviews for its service, food, and entertainment, with many guests highlighting the friendliness of the staff and the fun atmosphere. However, there are notable criticisms regarding the dated condition of the ship, inconsistent entertainment quality, crowded areas, and some issues with cleanliness and organization. The cruise is often described as a good value, especially for families and first-time cruisers, but some experienced cruisers and those seeking a quieter or more upscale experience found it lacking in certain areas.
