Carnival Conquest (110,000 tons) sails from the Port of Galveston, Texas. This is served by Houston Airport. Most flights go to Houston International (IAH). Houston Hobby (HOU) is actually closer to Galveston. To see some of the other activities on board see this sample copy of Carnival Capers - the ship's free newspaper.
