This was my first time going on a cruise. I decided last minute to go with a couple of friends. Let me just say we had the BEST time on the Carnival Conquest. Everything went super smooth. We were on the ship in no time. The lines went pretty fast. We had an ocean view room, nice and roomy for three adults. The staff super friendly and helpful. Ronald, Carnita and Patrick in the main dining were awesome and cuties. Have to tell you the Alchemy Bar we thought was the best!! Excellent martinis. Great bartenders, Tatsiana, Vera and Inga. Felt very lucky the weather was perfect for a trip in Sept. Flat calm most of the time. As for the excursions, we didn't care for Cozumel, very dirty and rocky beach at Paradise beach. I heard the 4 wheeling was fun. Belize was our favorite. Cave tubing is a must do. So beautiful! Loved the hike, the water, cave everything about it. Also went to the Altun ha ruins. really nice too. Bring bugspray. Our tour guide Leo was so informative. He was with cave tubing bz. not through carnival. Very lucky to get him. Overall such a great first trip. Met so many great people. Can't wait to go again!
