Carnival Conquest debuted in 2002 as the first ship in Carnival's five-strong Conquest class, her interiors styled around French Impressionist art as a nod to New Orleans, her original homeport. She completed a 12-day dry dock at Grand Bahama Shipyard in February 2026, returning to Miami with a new Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge honoring military veterans and active-duty service members, a reimagined Club O2 for teens, a renovated WAREHOUSE video arcade, an expanded non-smoking casino, and refreshed retail. She now sails year-round from PortMiami on 3- and 4-night Bahamas and Caribbean itineraries, including calls at Carnival's private destination Celebration Key on Grand Bahama, plus Nassau, Princess Cays, or Half Moon Cay depending on the sailing.
The Point Steakhouse, one of the fleet's most acclaimed specialty restaurants, paired with the new Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge added during her February 2026 dry dock — a dedicated space honoring military service members and their families.
