Here's a good advice for anyone planning on taking a cruise. Don't order anything that's fried. Because the dining steward has to wait for the food for each course to get plated for all of his/her diners before he/she brings them out, anything that is fried becomes cold and limp by the time it arrives in front of you. Thus, I made a mistake in ordering the calamari for lunch.
The food improved immediately after day 1, and so I started enjoying the heart and soul of cruising--eating nearly 24 hours a day.
On a really good note, the desserts on the Carnival Conquest sure beats those on Holland America-Volendam!
