This was our 10th anniversary trip and our first cruise, but my wife and I had studied the reviews and forums a lot. We live near Tulsa, so we drove to Galveston and parked at EZCruise Parking. I prepaid, and the service was great and highly recommended, plus cheaper! We arrived at the terminal around 10:45 AM, and there were already long lines, but not too bad. We were on the Lido for lunch by about 12:15, starting what made for a week of great eating.

Our room was not available until about 1:30 and our luggage arrived at about 2:30. We were on the 1st floor near the aft, in a window room. The room was clean and more spacious that I expected. We had plenty of storage and it turned out to be a good spot with not much noise. We didn't have any noise through the walls, but at times I wondered if the door was made of paper, because you could hear clear the conversations outside. We brought our own cans of pop and bottles of water. We used the mini-bar to put the pop in to keep it cool.

The muster drill is a pain in the rear. We went down at the designated time and there were not many people there. Don't go early, wait until they call you. We were there for over an hour baking, while the already partying others slowly stumbled down for the 20 minutes of instruction and advertisement. Carnival is constantly advertising something, bingo, pictures, $$$$$, etc. OK, let the fun begin.
