Carnival Conquest Review

Additional details
Let me start by saying this was my first Cruise. I have nothing to compare it to other than vacations to a beach or resort. When I was booking my cruise, I couldn't find any detailed reviews so this review will be very detailed and lengthy hoping to help out those who are interested.
1. Arriving in New Orleans: Our trip was the Sunday between Super Bowl Sunday and Fat Tuesday. Traffic was heavy getting down to the port but we only hit heavy traffic when we go near the Super Dome and took about 45 minutes to make it to the parking garage. I had heard people coming across the bridge took a few hours.
2. Parking: Very Simple. Paid the full $112 with a Credit Card, dropped off the bags as soon as you pull in, gave the man $5 for our 3 bags, and then parked at about 11:30am. (We got all 3 of our bags at different times. Last bag didn't arrive till about 7pm.)
Cabin Review
Balcony
We splurged a bit and got a balcony room. It was nice. I didn't feel cramped. It had plenty of room for our things. The bathroom was a touch small. 1 person could take a shower while the other got ready but definitely couldn't share it beyond that. You could easily hear the people next door and the hallway. The balcony was nice as it added light throughout the day and in the mornings so you knew it was daytime if you were sleeping in. Not sure I would splurge again on the balcony room as we didn't really use our balcony that much.
