Carnival Conquest underwent a multimillion-dollar refurbishment during the final two weeks of January 2009, introducing new passenger amenities and improvements throughout the ship. Eighteen existing ocean-view staterooms on Spa Deck were converted into balcony accommodations. A new Circle C club was introduced for passengers aged 12–14, featuring plasma televisions, video games, movies, a touchscreen jukebox and interactive entertainment facilities. The 4,200-square-foot Camp Carnival children's area was remodeled with updated gaming stations, while the 1,800-square-foot Club O2 teen lounge received new plasma televisions and other improvements. A 270-square-foot LED Seaside Theatre screen was installed overlooking the main Lido Deck swimming pool, providing outdoor movies, concerts, sporting events and other programming through a 70,000-watt sound system. Additional upgrades included new exercise equipment in the 14,500-square-foot Spa Carnival fitness facility and the introduction of shipwide Wi-Fi connectivity. The ship resumed its regular seven-night Caribbean cruise schedule from Galveston in early February 2009.
