Agreed, George -- except for if Key West is a late-day-into-the-evening
stop. That would be a huge incentive for us!

It's actually not a very highly rated ship.

Other then the smoke problems, everything on the Conquest was very good.
Excellant food and service and wonderful deli station and oriental
stations in the buffet.

As some people have said, it'll just be an excuse for a booze cruise.

Personally I love the Conquest. I've sailed her 3 times in the last year or
so. And after sailing on the Fantasy 3 times, I can safely say that the
Conquest is my favorite ship at the moment.

I love doing B2B cruises (or B2B2B lol) so this will give me just a little
variety when I sail. At least until I find a new favorite ship ;-)

LES!

Yeah, I already told Kendra that. I had a group ready to book, then
the new itinerary came out. They'll probably just change the dates.

Key West is fun. That's why we go there every few years. But not on
a cruise. Bahamas? I tell most of my Disney cruisers to stay on the
ship and do the Rainforest for 1/2 price. Except that DCL has figured
that one out.

Correction:

"Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?"

That's actually been my complaint about most of our cruises, but we've
always found a way around it.

People don't pop $1000 a person for a booze cruise. That's what the
three and four nighters are for.
