The cruise line

I went on for a cruise trip at Western Caribbean. The cruise line was Carnival Cruise lines and the name of the ship was Carnival Conquest. It was my second Caribbean cruise but for my family, it was their first time experience. We were supposed to board on cruise from New Orleans so we packed our bags and entered a New Orleans hotel a day before. This helped us to take required rest and enjoy New Orleans before we took off sailing.

Preparation for the Trip

After a good rest, the day of your journey arrived finally. At the early morning, we reached the dock. On the dock, the passengers were unloaded from the Carnival Conquest and after that the cruise was made ready for its next trip to Western Caribbean.

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

There were around 3000 people traveling on the cruise. So, it took quite a lot of time to get our luggage into the room. When we got the luggage, we checked that whether everything is there or not.

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 second and the third day was actually the real pleasure of our Western Caribbean cruise. We were sailing through the Mississippi river and then entered the Gulf of Mexico. The experience of these two days was immaculate. We explored the ship and did several enjoyable activities. There was not a single dull moment. Some of the memorable activities during the cruise were gambling in the casino, participating in the lounge trivia, exercising in the gym, soaking up the sun, enjoying couple of drinks and lot more.
