Carnival Conquest: A Masterpiece of Fun at Sea
Cruising aboard Carnival Conquest elevates fun at sea to an art form — the ship demonstrates a true mastery of the craft with an onboard collage of fun spots for you to enjoy, like Guy’s Burger Joint™, RedFrog Rum Bar® and SkyBox™ Sports Bar.
Fun Around Every Corner
There’s fun everywhere you look, from the dance club (great for people-watching) to the show lounges (great for show-watching). Alchemy Bar® serves up not only one-of-a-kind drinks but a complete experience for your senses. There’s even The Punchliner Comedy Club™, which gives stand-up comedians a microphone and a place to share their craft for your enjoyment. And let’s not forget Seuss at Sea™, which turns classic Dr. Seuss stories and characters into big fun for all.
Culinary Artistry
You don’t need to be able to tell a Monet from a Renoir to dine in our two artful dining rooms; you just need to be hungry. You don’t even need to be a critic to enjoy Dive-In Movies, where cinematic favorites are up on the big screen, poolside.
A Marvel of Design
Carnival Conquest is a cruise ship owned and operated by Carnival Cruise Line. She is the first of her namesake class, whose design is derived from the Destiny-class of cruise ships. Sixty percent of her staterooms have ocean views, and sixty percent of those (37% of all cabins) have balconies. The ship’s interior decor is of a French Impressionist style designed to complement the port city of New Orleans. Carnival Conquest was renovated in 2009.
A Proud Godmother
The Godmother of Carnival Conquest is Lindy Boggs, former US Congresswoman for Louisiana.
Miami Homeport
The vessel is currently homeported in Miami, Florida.
Incidents and Resilience
On 7 July 2013, the ship was diverted to Mobile, Alabama, after a tugboat sank in New Orleans, causing a closure to the Mississippi River. Carnival then changed the next 7-day cruise roundtrip New Orleans into a 6-day cruise from Mobile to New Orleans. Passengers disembarking were provided charter buses to New Orleans.
