Our best friends went cruising, and naturally we got to see all of their pictures and videos of the Caribbean. -So we decided to go for ourselves by way of the Carnival Cruises Conquest! We reserved a spa stateroom with a balcony after gathering all the information we could locate about the Carnival Conquest’s cabins. Our stateroom is perfectly located, and will have a great ocean view. I’m already dreaming about room service on those days when my husband and I just want to kick back. We’ll have so much to do onboard the Conquest. There’s the Waterworks and pools, the City Sports Park, the casino, the shops, the main lounge theatrical shows, the clubs, and so much more. We’ll have reservations for the Carnival Conquest’s amazing gourmet cuisine at the steakhouse, but there’s plenty of great entrees in the Conquest’s main dining room, and casual fare in the Lido restaurant. I am definitely off my diet until we get back. Oh, we’re taking pictures, too… Next October on the Carnival Conquest will be our special time in the Caribbean!Carnival Conquest

I am sick and tired of being cooped up in the confines of our little dreamCarnival Triumph cottage! If you happen to live in a part of the world where snow storms in October are no surprise, then maybe you know what I mean. That’s why we’ve booked a cruise on the Carnival Triumph. We’ll leave from Galveston, and explore the Western Caribbean on this incredible ship. True to her reputation, the Carnival Triumph journey will be as much fun as those ports in Cozumel and Yucatan. We’ll check out the casino, watch a Seaside Theater movie, dance, and for sure catch a main lounge show. I like the fact that there’s just so much to do! And there will be some days when all I’ll want is a cool drink by the pool for an afternoon repast. Dining on the Carnival Triumph is also our choice, from main dining room feasts to casual meals in the Lido restaurant. -Love the room service option in our cabin when we want to sleep in, too! Oh yea… Next October’s the time for our breath of fresh air on the Carnival Triumph!

We tend to talk an idea into the ground too much, weighing the pros andCarnival Conquest cons on all our vacation ideas. But this year, we did it! We booked a Caribbean cruise from Galveston on the Carnival Conquest. It has a casino, a disco, lots of clubs, and so much more. Getting to Jamaica and the Cayman Islands really will be wonderful, but just part of the fun for us! I know my husband’s going to check out that mini golf course and he knows I’ll be at the spa for a great massage. There’s age appropriate activities and centers for children and teens, but for our first cruise, we decided not to take the grandkids… There’ll be time for THAT conversation after our March cruise on the Carnival Conquest!
