Creator's Key Takeaways

I've never been on a cruise ship where it was common place for the passengers on board to eat their food in the buffet and then take their halfeaten plate of food and set it down on a handwash station

The level of hygiene and manners were way below what we were expecting and honestly what's safe and considerate on a cruise ship

The Carnival Conquest did grow on us over the course of our trip

I was really impressed with the evening entertainment in particular on the conquest and I think that you should find those events and go to them

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check in online 15 days before departure for early times
Watch ship tours to understand the confusing layout
Get to the Serenity adults-only area early to snag a seat
Use bill breakers on the ship for smaller bills for ports
