Caribbean cruise line
The cruise trip that we chose was at Western Caribbean. Carnival Cruise lines was the cruise line of our trip and ship was called the Carnival Conquest. I was touring Caribbean for the second time but my spouse was traveling Caribbean islands for the first time. We started our journey from New Orleans. We arrived at a New Orleans hotel a day before and took some rest there and then on the nest we started for out Caribbean cruise.
Preparation for the Trip
We were super excited next morning as the D-Day of our Caribbean cruise finally arrived. We were there in the dock at early morning. There we watched unloading of passengers from the Carnival Conquest before it was made ready for its next trip to Western Caribbean.
The luggage porters told us the boarding time would be 10 am but the people were already standing in the long queue to enter the cruise. We then took our boarding pass and the “sail & sign” and then showed them to the security personnel to get into the ship.
Our wait was not exactly over, after getting into the ship. The formalities took two more hours to get completed and by the time the cruise started, it was 12 in the noon. But, we must say that the wait was not boring at all as the cruise started taking our care provided us good food.
The first day at the cruise
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.
Exciting Moments on Cruise
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.
If you are also planning to take up a Caribbean cruise, go for it and don’t forget your camera.
