Conquest 5/31 - FABULOUS cruise and Camp Carnival fun

[YayGirlsTrip]

I don't have much time for an in-depth review right now, but just wanted to say that we had more fun that we could have possibly imagined! I had read great things about Camp Carnival. My DD is 5 yrs old and spent each evening at Camp Carnival. I didn't realize until day 2 that they have a kids dinner. That was fantastic! We were able to drop her off at 6pm, where they fed her and took her back to the playroom for the rest of the evening. Meanwhile, DH and I could take our time getting ready for our very nice 8pm dinner, which DD wouldn't have enjoyed much. After dinner we would spend some time in the casino or whatever, and picked her up between 10p-11p. We did pay the extra fee after 10pm but didn't mind at all. They did lots of fun activities, face painting, etc. So it wasn't like we were just dropping her off for babysitting. She had a blast.

 

Everything else about the cruise was great as well! Smooth on-boarding and off-boarding. Smooth tender experience in Grand Cayman. Of course, the excellent (but HOT) weather and smooth seas made it that much easier. Good food, clean rooms, etc. Of course we packed way too much! The over-the-door shoe organizer that doubled as toiletry organizer was very useful! Oh, and we managed to stash lots of rum runners in our luggage with no problems!

 

All staff were pleasant. Cruise director was humorous and informative. We didn't care to attend any shows or activities really, other than those that were done on the lido deck.

 

I'll have a link to pictures eventually! Dropped my camera in the water at Grand Cayman! :eek: Fortunately the memory stick was spared and works in the camcorder for taking photos as well. And the camera wasn't expensive, so it wasn't terribly devastating. But I did freak out for a few minutes. LOL.

 

More later!
