Hi Riana,I am also in Dallas. Hubby and I did our first cruise this past December on The Conquest out of New Orleans. We loved it. We arrived in NOLA a day early and got the cruise special at the Hilton. The Conquest is a beautiful ship and has great ports to visit. I also liked rolling down the Mississippi.We had a balcony on the Conquest as well as my sister and her husband. My mom and step dad had a suite. The rooms are roomy from what I hear compared to other ships. We were docked next to the Princess in Cozumel as well and hubby noticed some things on the Princess that he wants to look into. Which is why I am surfing this board. We meet with our travel agent on Saturday to look at some different cruise lines.One thing he noticed is that the balconies are tiered on the Princess meaning that when you look up it seems that you see the sky instead of another floor of a balcony. The colors in the rooms seem a little more soothing. The orange/salmon decor in our Carnival room was kind of sickening..but liveable.We aren't big party people but do like to have fun. Hubby plays in rock bands and has long hair so I am hoping the Princess is not too stuffy for us. Since we went in December there were not too many kids on Carnival. Since we don't have any we don't really like being around them too much.Of course, we haven't priced the Princess and it might be out of league. I want a nice ship but we still spent quite of bit of money once we were on the ship. Sneaking some vodka on the ship will be on the top of my list for the next cruise. So I don't want to go crazy on the cruise cost so I can spend the money in the ports and do some cool excursions.Have fun!
