Carnival Conquest

Carnival Conquest is a cruise ship owned and operated by Carnival Cruise Line. She is the first of her namesake class, whose design is derived from the Destiny-class cruise ship of cruise ships. Sixty percent of her staterooms have ocean views, and sixty percent of those (37% of all cabins) have balconies.[8] The ship's interior decor is of a French Impressionist style designed to complement the port city of New Orleans. Carnival Conquest was renovated in 2009.[9][10]

The godmother of Carnival Conquest is Lindy Boggs, former US Congresswoman for Louisiana.[3]

The vessel has been homeported at Miami, Florida.[11] On 7 July 2013, the ship was diverted to Mobile, Alabama, after a tugboat sank at New Orleans, causing a closure of the Mississippi River. Carnival then changed the next seven-day cruise roundtrip New Orleans into a six-day cruise from Mobile to New Orleans. Passengers disembarking were provided charter buses to New Orleans.
