Carnival Conquest Review

Additional details
We decided to take our first cruise during spring break (March 11-19). My family included my husband, son (16) and his friend (16). I had concerns about whether i would enjoy a cruise or not - too crowded? bad food? seasickness? - but we all had a great time and would do it again!!! Here's a quick rundown:
Embarkation: was easy. Arrived about 11, were on the ship by noon. Check in was smooth; however, one problem - they confiscated our cooler. They said it was over the size limit (even tho we saw people with much larger carry-ons, carts, etc that went through). So we had to scramble to put all the cokes, waters, juices and mixers in our other carry-on bags. Next time - we'll take less with us (we ended the week with drinks left over).
Public Spaces: i was really impressed with how clean everything was. Yes, some of the decor is a little dated but that's ok. It was pretty, and it was clean!
Cabin Review
Balcony
Great cabin! It's small of course, but plenty of closet space and drawers (we had 2 adults in the room). Bathroom is also small but enough space for both of us to keep our toiletries. We were worried about being at the very front (and one of the top decks) that it might be rougher up here but we had no problems, no seasickness, etc. It was quieter than we thought it might be since there is a door to the outside front deck right next to our room; but, that deck is locked off at night so there wasn't a bunch of traffic going out there late. Also, even though we were under the spa deck we never heard a sound from up there.Bed was comfortable. Room steward and staff were great!
