Once again, we had a wonderful winter cruise aboard the Conquest. Although most years the January sailing date is cold and dank, this year we woke up to a beautiful blue-sky, and somewhat warm(er) weather, especially for Galveston. There are so many reviews in here that I'm just going to post what I thought to be pertinent this time.
Embarkation: We stayed at the Harbour House (Wyndam associated) and took advantage of their cruise parking special. You can walk to the pier from there which is an added plus at the end of your cruise, especially if you take advantage of self-assist.
Stateroom: we usually take an inside cabin because we sleep SO WELL in the utter darkness. However this time we popped for a balcony and were so glad we did. We were on Emerald deck (7) and thought the location was very good. One piece of advice we took was to take earplugs with us this time, and they came in very handy when, on the first night out, it was extremely windy and there was lots of shakes and shimmies on the balconies (furniture, etc). A beautiful bouquet of flowers was sent to us and truly brightened up the room for the entire time. Consider purchasing some at the beginning of any cruise.
+ close to laundry room
+ 2 large drawers under the couch were a nice plus
