Sail Date: May 2004

This was our third cruise with Carnival and our first aboard the Conquest. We chose the Conquest in particular for this cruise mainly because the embarkation point was within driving distance from our home in Arkansas.

The terminal location is very easy to get to, but the embarkation procedure could use a little work. If you're going to use the Fast Pass, just plan on everyone else using it too. When we arrived at the terminal, there seemed to be only one line labeled "Fast Pass" and no other lines at all, which told us that Carnival assumes that everyone uses the Fast Pass system. In theory, I'm sure the Fast Pass is a great thing, but I think they have promoted it too much. Maybe they should have one line for returning Carnival guests and another line for everyone else.

Overall, the cruise was pretty good. The previous two times, we sailed on the Fantasy and thought the food on the Fantasy was better than that on the Conquest. We highly recommend The Point for at least one night of dinner, but don't go unless you have a huge appetite. The portions are probably just as small as everything else, but they feed you a lot more than $25 worth of food. Definitely worth the money!
