Back from the Conquest

[twostacys]

We had a great time. We couldn't ask for more beautiful weather. Embarkation was a little slow, but we had great company to pass the time with our new CC friends that we met up with in Galveston. Debarkation was a breeze. We were off the boat this moring by 6:20am.

 

I will post a more detailed review later, but if you have any question I will be happy to answer them.

We got to the pier around 11:00AM. They didn't open up security until 12:30AM. We had skippers club, this may have saved us about 10 min. We were on board around 1:40PM. They were still debarking the previous cruise until a little after 1:00PM. The captain got us to Galveston early this morning (4:30AM we docked) to try and have a smoother debarkation, which would allow them to have a smoother embarkation. You have to hand it to them, they are trying to work things out.

You would think so, but no! We were off at 6:20AM, on the road back home around 7:40AM.

...and at Intercontinental by 9:00, early flight at 11, home by 1:05. PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll also write more as soon as the hangover is gone.(...or as our head waiter Augustas called it, an "overhang".

I look forward to your review as we are going on the Conquest 12/18. Sure hope we can get to Galveston early, as this will make debarkation a lot easier. I'm sure most are like me, driving home.

If I'm not too tired, I'll write it tonight. That last day at sea was a doozy and we are trying to recover. The 7.5-12ft seas still have me rocking. :eek:

i'm so glad you had a great time. we're going on the conquest late november. i've written on a few other threads. still wondering if anyone has suggestions on getting to the pier. we're flying in the morning of the cruise into ICA. the flight gets in at 8:40. i was hoping to not wait for the carnival shuttle at 11:30. galveston shuttle scheduled for 10:30. i could get a town car for the 2 of us for anywhere from $90-$140(including tip and tolls for the 140). i'm wondering... is there anything at the airport when i arrive or should i just pre-book a ride now?

thanks for any in put.

still hoping to be one of the first on the ship to start vacation asap.:p
