Since I was on the inaugeral of this ship, I will wear my Carnival Conquest Inagurel Cruise baseball hat. 

 How's that?

 We will do leis.

We'll do leis, too!

Cruzer, you were on the Conquest inaugral???  How exciting!  How many times have you cruised on her since?

We have sailed on her four or five times since then.  I am really not one to keep track of all of my cruises (30+) on various lines, mostly owned by Carnival Corp.

That's awesome!  I can't wait to see your hat!!

 Hey everybody my DW checked with Carnival a couple of days a go and the price had gone down on our cruise. We now have a $72.00 on board credit.

Woo Hoo!!!!  I keep checking several times a day online and it's not better than what we paid.  We originally booked for lower than what it is now, and the price dropped $20/pp for a couple days after that, so we paid that lower rate.  The price is still higher than what we paid, so no OBC for us .... YET!!!!

Did you book ES?

 No we didn't because we wanted to choose or stateroom.

No obc for us either, but we will enjoy our balcony cabin watching the Caribbean float by with a book in my lap and gin and seven in my hand.

We booked ES and we HAD to choose our stateroom then and there.  We're on the Upper deck.
