Sail Date: Oct 2007

We are Kandace (22) and Jason (23) from Fort Worth, Texas. Each of us has been on one previous cruise - I to Canada on the Victory in 2004, and he to Alaska on Princess Cruise Lines in 2003. We got married on October 20th and boarded the Conquest on the 21st for our honeymoon. In order to do this, we spent our wedding night in Waco, which helped cut down on travel time on Sunday. We stayed at the Marriott Courtyard in Waco and it was lovely, complete with full breakfast buffet.

We used EZ Cruise parking, booked through their Web site to save $5. We showed them our receipt and they directed us to an area to drop off our bags. We parked the car and got on the shuttle that our bags had been loaded onto. A very short trip and we were at the cruise terminal. Contrary to what they say, you can show up earlier that the suggested time. The line was long, but moved fast. Having everything filled out and your documents in hand makes the process faster. Then you take your first (of many) photos with a tropical background and you wind up in the lobby of the ship, deck 3, where you take your picture for your Sail and Sign card and are free to go wherever.

We went to our room (1038, a port-side balcony) to put down our stuff and met Bing, our room steward from China. We left Bing a note on our mirror using sticky notes along with a tip, asking him to take care of us on our honeymoon. He certainly did. Every day he cleaned our room and every night he turned down the bed for us, leaving mints on the pillow and towel animals on the bed. I left him another note saying that we put stuff from the mini bar on the counter so we could have more room, and when we came back he had taken everything Carnival provided out so we could have the whole thing. It was nice because we brought some of our wedding cake, and were able to grab extra milks in the morning to have on hand whenever we wanted them.
