Carnival Conquest is a Conquest-class cruise ship owned and operated by Carnival Cruise Lines. Sixty percent of her staterooms have ocean views, and sixty percent of those (37% of all cabins) have balconies.[7] The ship's interior decor is of a French Impressionist style designed to complement port city of New Orleans. Carnival Conquest was renovated in 2009, receiving a new Circle “C” club (for 12- to 14-year-olds) and a large outdoor LED screen. Eighteen ocean view staterooms were given balconies during this process.[8]
The Godmother of the Carnival Conquest is Lindy Boggs, a former US Congresswoman for Louisiana.[citation needed] The Conquest Currently sails out of New Orleans Louisiana offering 7 day cruises to the Western Carribean and and 7 day Eastern Carribean Cruises. On occasion she will sail 6 and 8 day cruises to the Western Carribean. [9]
