Frequently Asked Questions
From Miami, year-round. The ship returned there on February 20, 2026, after a twelve-day dry dock at Grand Bahama Shipyard. It runs 3- and 4-night Bahamas getaways, with Celebration Key on almost every departure, plus Nassau, Half Moon Cay or Princess Cays depending on length. One exception stands out: an 11-day Southern Caribbean voyage in January 2027.
2,980 at double occupancy, and up to 3,966 when every upper berth and sofa bed is filled. That gap of nearly a thousand people explains why the ship feels packed during school breaks and quiet in September. Crew numbers 1,150. American fact sheets often quote 3,966 without saying it is the absolute maximum, never the normal load.
No, and that is its main weakness for families. Conquest is the only one of the four Conquest-class ships in this group that never received the WaterWorks park. It has a single slide, the two-deck Twister, plus three pools and seven whirlpools. Glory, Valor and Freedom all have the full two-slide park. With kids aged six to twelve, the difference shows.
The February 6 to 20, 2026 dry dock at Grand Bahama Shipyard added the Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge for military members and veterans, expanded the Tahiti casino with a non-smoking section, rebuilt the Club O2 teen space and the WAREHOUSE arcade, and refreshed the shops. The staterooms themselves were not rebuilt: they remain original.
Because it was the test ship. In October 2022, during dry dock, Conquest became the first vessel in the Carnival fleet to get a dedicated pickleball court, installed on the sports deck. Other ships followed, but Conquest keeps that first-in-fleet status. The court is fully exposed to the wind, so play gets difficult once the ship is running toward the Bahamas.
Yes for testing the idea, with one real caveat. The 3- and 4-night formats out of Miami cost few vacation days and let you find out whether your family likes being at sea. But Friday departures draw a party crowd of young Florida adults. A midweek departure outside school break gives a noticeably calmer atmosphere.
Yes, and you should know before booking. The ship dates from 2002 and the cabins have never been rebuilt: period bathrooms, few electrical outlets, very early-2000s decor. Bedding and bedside lighting were renewed. In exchange, Conquest-class cabins are larger than those on many newer ships, and so are the balconies.
No roller coaster, no water park, no ropes course, no row of celebrity-chef restaurants. Conquest offers two main dining rooms, a buffet, Guy's Burger Joint, BlueIguana Cantina, a steakhouse and the Seafood Shack. In exchange, you do not wait twenty minutes for an elevator and you can still find a deck chair at 10 a.m.
Yes, and it is urgent. Carnival Rewards replaces the former loyalty program on September 1, 2026, and your status does not carry over automatically. You must open your Carnival account and accept enrollment before that date, or your accumulated sailing days disappear. Do it before boarding in Miami. Your travel counsellor cannot click for you: it is a personal action in your own account.
No. Carnival operates in English: announcements, shows, menus, mobile app and front-line staff. On Conquest, whose short itineraries leave from Miami, the passenger mix is overwhelmingly American and you will meet few French speakers. Functional English is enough for the essentials. If French-language service matters to you, other Mediterranean-based lines suit better — tell your travel counsellor up front.
Through Miami. Nonstop flights link Montréal-Trudeau to Miami International year-round, and the cruise terminal is about twenty minutes away by car. Fly in the day before: on a three-night cruise a missed connection costs you half the trip, and the ship waits for no one. Budget extra time for United States customs lines as well.
It is the private destination Carnival opened on July 19, 2025, on Grand Bahama Island at Freeport. The ship berths directly at a pier, with no tender boats. There are developed beaches, a very large freshwater lagoon pool, family zones and an adults-only section. Nearly every Conquest departure calls there, often on the first full day.
Yes, provided you book through an agency holding a Québec licence such as Voyages AquaTerra. The FICAV covers travel services paid for but not delivered. It does not cover cancellation for illness or medical costs abroad: that requires separate travel insurance. Book directly on an American website and you lose this Québec protection entirely.
A valid Canadian passport. The American rule allowing boarding with a birth certificate on a closed-loop cruise applies to United States citizens, not Canadians. Since you enter the United States by air to reach Miami, the passport is required anyway. Check that it stays valid for the whole trip and carry it on board, not in checked luggage.
Yes, partly. The ship has adapted staterooms in several categories, from interior to balcony, and public decks are served by elevators. Two real limits: those cabins are few and sell out early, and disembarkation at Half Moon Cay has long been by tender, which rules out motorized wheelchairs. Confirm the landing method when you book.
