The Ship - - Carnival Conquest
 When we arrived we loaded into the Carnival Conquest in Galveston. A large ship, beautifully decorated throughout. We arrived early and Check In was quick and easy. |
 In the main lobby we were amazed at the beautiful paintings on the ceilings and walls through the atrium that extended some 9 stories above us. |

After gawking at the beautiful decorations and the spectacular view of the
elevators going up and down for nine stories above us
we did what you do on a cruise ship. We went to the buffet! |
When we arrived this musical group playing
lovely classical music in the lobby. The elevators, seen in the adjacent picture came down just behind the group. |
After lunch we decided had to take a tour around the ship. |
On board we found a wide array of restaurants, shops, outdoor and indoor pools, hot tubs, even a miniature golf course! |

Parked right behind us was the Royal Caribbean ship, the Voyager of the Seas honoring Texas with a gigantic pair of longhorns. |
Each time we passed through the atrium we had to stop again and gawk at the beautiful paintings. |
Departure - We Bid Goodbye to Galveston
 As the ship pulled out, we were treated to the sights of the attractions along the Galveston harbor shoreline. Here is one of the museums and a three masted sailing ship. |
 Work boats abound in the busy seaport of Galveston. |
