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 {{sclass|Destiny|cruise ship|4}} of cruise ships. Sixty percent of her staterooms have ocean views, and sixty percent of those (37% of all cabins) have balconies.{{cite web|url=http://www.destinationoceans.com/Cruise-Resources/Lines/Carnival-Cruise-Lines/Carnival-Conquest.cfm |title=Carnival Conquest - Destination Oceans |access-date=24 July 2008 |publisher=Destination Oceans |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090106191540/http://www.destinationoceans.com/Cruise-Resources/Lines/Carnival-Cruise-Lines/Carnival-Conquest.cfm |archive-date=6 January 2009 }} 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.{{cite web |url=http://www.carnival.com/CMS/Articles/conquest_refurb.aspx |title=Circle 'C' Club, Seaside Theatre, New Balconies Added to Carnival Conquest During Extensive Renovation |access-date=30 May 2009 |publisher=Carnival Cruise Line |date=6 February 2009}}{{cite web |url=http://www.carnival.com/cms/fun/ships/carnival_conquest/default.aspx?shipCode=CQ

The godmother of Carnival Conquest is Lindy Boggs, former US Congresswoman for Louisiana.
The vessel has been homeported at Miami, Florida.{{Cite web |last=Line |first=Carnival Cruise |title=Carnival Conquest {{!}} Conquest Cruise Ship |url=https://www.carnival.com/cruise-ships/carnival-conquest |access-date=2 April 2022 |website=Carnival Cruise Line |language=en}} On 7 July 2013, the ship was diverted to Mobile, Alabama, after a tugboat sank at New Orleans, causing a closure to 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.
