Our trip and Caribbean cruise line

I have been into Caribbean cruise before but for my spouse, it was the first time. We went for a Western Caribbean trip and the cruise line selected was Carnival Cruise lines. The name of the ship was Carnival Conquest. We boarded on cruise from New Orleans after we packed our bags and checked into a hotel in New Orleans, a day before. Thus, we got sufficient rest before we started our excursion.

Preparation for the Trip

Our excitement level was so high that we reached the dock much before the cruise was to start. When we reached there, we saw that Carnival Conquest is unloading the passengers and after that it was prepared for the next trip, where we were supposed to board in.

We were waiting for our chance to get inside the ship and the queue was already rising. The luggage porters told that boarding time would be 10 am. Then we cleared our boarding pass and got the “sail & sign”. We showed the necessary papers to the security and then got inside the ship.

All these procedures took around two more hours and it was actually 12:00 pm when we got on board finally. The wait was long but certainly not tiring. Carnival cruise takes good care of food and we already had our foods ready and started our Caribbean cruise.

Our Experience on Day 1

The total count of the people traveling on the cruise was approximately 3000. Thus, it was evident that why the formalities took so long to get over. We finally got our luggage after checking.

Actually, we were waiting for our luggage because we were dying to get into the swimming and our swimming costumes were inside the luggage. After swimming, we too part in several entertainment activities and sight seeing. Around 8 in the evening, we headed for dinner.

Some Great Moments

The first day was good but the actual pleasure of the Western Caribbean cruise was waiting for us in the second and the third day. We sailed through the Mississippi river and reached the Gulf of Mexico. In these two days, we enjoyed a lot. We participated in the lounge trivia, gambled in the casino, soaked up the sun, hit the gym and took some fabulous drinks.
