My mom and I have finally decided to take our first cruise!! We're going on the Carnival Conquest 7 night cruise out of Galveston to the Western Caribbean Jan. 18, 2009. We can't wait!!

Any information or tips for a first time cruiser would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!!

As for tips, I really dont have any. As you cruise more often, you learn something everytime you go. This will probably not be your last cruise and things become easier as you cruise more.

Thank for the links!!

I thought of a couple of other questions. How many bags can you carry on? Also, would a backpack be okay as a carry on?


I know it's I still have a while to wait but I'm so excited I can't help myself!! lol

You can bring as many bags as you like. You can only carry on smaller bags and a backpack is just fine. Usually the limitation for bags is determined by what the airline allows which is two checked bags one carry on and one personal item carry on but if you're driving you can bring as much as you want.

Congratulations on your cruise in 2009. I can promise you it won't be your last. As for your question about a backpack, I always bring a backpack. I then use it for all the ports to put all my things in such as towel, camera, etc. and I can be hands-free to do whatever I want. On excursions I also take it so that I can put a bottle or two of water in it.

You will love your first cruise with your mom! I did! I took her on her first cruise (my 2nd) in September of 2006. Now she is hooked as well and we are going on our 2nd cruise together this September on the Glory, which is one of the Conquest class ships. We have booked a balcony (our first) and cannot wait! I love cruising with my mom. We share an extraordinary experience and it brings us closer together. She is my best friend! Hope you both have a wonderful and memory filled time together!

Use the internet and google, yahoo and msn search everything you can about the Carnival Conquest. You would be surprised at how much information there is out there, not to mention great forums like this one! This will be our second cruise and we won't go until Jan. 4th but we already have a binder full of stuff pulled from the internet. Have a great cruise!
