Carnival Conquest Review

Additional details
This was a 7 day cruise aboard the Conquest from New Orleans with stops in MoBay, Grand Cayman and Cozumel.
Embarkation - This is New Orleans folks. When you have 2 large ships unloading and loading 6,000 people you better expect a little bit of a traffic jam. After about 30 minutes in traffic, around 11:00am, we entered the garage and promptly unloaded our baggage and parked. Due to the escalators being broken there was a delay in boarding as everyone was directed outside to a long single line and had to take turns on the elevators. Fortunately we had great weather for it and were able to talk and visit with our fellow passengers. Once inside things moved rather smoothly. We were on the ship and eating fish 'n' chips by 1:00pm.
The Ship - We found the ship to be very appealing. The decor wasn't near as gaudy as we have seen on previous Carnival cruises. Everything was done in good taste. It is a large ship and while I didn't have any problems the wife and daughter had to take a couple of days to get their bearings straight.
Cabin Review
Ocean View
Main Deck 2420 - This was a spacious oceanview room that was convenient to the elevators and dining in The Monet. It is under the galley but in the seven days aboard we only heard a small amount of noise twice and never during the night. It is a long walk though to the front of the ship for the show lounge and the gangways. Not bad if you like walking.
