December 2012 - Carnival Triumph to Caribbean
Carnival's Faster To The Fun (FTTF) is worth it....
Carnival has the new Faster To The Fun (FTTF) program on the Triumph now, so we tried it out for the first time. We did get to board like the VIP folks and was in our cabin at around noon. The only h...

August 2012 - Carnival Triumph to Caribbean - Western
We were part of a very large group of family and friends. All of us were dressed in lime green shirts. This was a short cruise for us but we enjoyed it anyway. The 70's night was something special. On...

This was the first time Lady Austin and myself took a cruise by ourselves. This was also I first cruise in the winter so it was a little different for us. No shorts or tank tops when we departed from ...

July 2011 - Carnival Conquest to Caribbean - Eastern
"This was an odd but really fun trip."
Even with savings some really dehydrated refugee we still had a great time.
Yes, the Conquest had to slide over and pick up some really bad off refugees. Once the Coast Guard picked them up we were back on our way. I love the Conquest even if she did not have the best interio...

August 2010 - Carnival Conquest to Caribbean - Western
"I just love Grand Cayman"
The only ship we had been on was the Carnival Ecstasy so this ship seemed huge. The interior design was loud (Great art of the world) but we did not care because we had fun. We had ladies night at the...

July 2009 - Carnival Ecstasy to Caribbean
"This was our first cruise and we are hooked."
This was our first cruise ever and we fell in love. Back in 2009 the Carnival Ecstasy came out of Galveston Texas. With eyes open and hearts a racing we were ready for a good time. This is not a big s...

Carnival Conquest - The cookies in the back of the ship with the pizzas are the best. Get them before they are gone.
Carnival Ecstasy - Midnight Chocolate Melting Cake....yummy!
Carnival Triumph - Want a quite spot to eat breakfast or lunch. Take the stairs to deck 10 just above the lido deck. Most folks don't want to walk up there so it is pretty quite.
Carnival Triumph - Guess what! Faster to the Fun (FTTF) will start on the Carnival Triumph November 15th. Find out all about on the Carnival Cruise Lines website. Keep Cruising!
Carnival Triumph - Number 1 don't lose your passport. Number 2 if you do lose it (or need to apply for one) please order the full sheet birth certificate. The 1/2 sheet can delay process and not get your new passport to you on time. Just some good information if you plan on cruising anytime soon. Happy Sailing!
Carnival Conquest - If you have kids use the Camp Carnival/Circle C/Club 02 so you can have some me time. You have earned it. All of the Carnival cruise ships have the program. My 14 year old has enjoyed it every time we sailed.
Carnival Triumph - Did you eat to much & you hate the gym... Walk that track on the upper deck. There is something special about walking in the strong winds off the sea. The view will almost make you forget how many laps you've done. Before you know it your 2 mile work turns into 3 miles. Just enjoy!
Carnival Conquest - If you are physically able to pack or roll your own luggage then I would do the self assist when disembarking the ship. You move so much faster. I hate sitting around waiting for my group to be called and at this point I'm ready to go home so self assist works for me.
Carnival Conquest - Never plan to have the perfect vacation...just plan on having a good time.
This will truly help your stress levels.
