Carnival Conquest: Short getaways to the Bahamas & Caribbean

Cruise passengers will find little time for boredom with all the restaurants, lounges and live entertainment aboard Carnival Conquest. Check out Guy's Burger Joint, RedFrog Rum Bar and EA SPORTS Bar to grab a bite or to simply watch some sports. The dance club (ideal for people-watching) and the show lounges (great for show-watching) deliver another element of fun.

There's also The Punchliner Comedy Club Presented by George Lopez, which gives stand-up comedians a microphone and a place to share their craft for your enjoyment. Guests can also enjoy live musical performances at Playlist Productions. There's also Hasbro, The Game Show, where guests can participate in a live game show.
