This is our 4th cruise, 3rd with Carnival. We did a lot of first on this cruise. We went out of Galveston instead of New Orleans or Miami. We finally got that balcony. And it was a Aft wrap around (6434). And thee only port we haven't been to was Grand Cayman which we had to by passed.
Embarkation: No problem there. I had 2 persons with me that were in a wheelchair. So we didn't have the long lines to be in. Boarding did start late. Which wasn't a bad thing since within about and hour our cabin was ready. Which we loved. This is our first balcony cabin and we loved being able to relax outside with out having to have to search for a seat. We did our normal ritual of eating and getting that first drink. Guys Burgers are great.
The Triumph is a nice ship. It took us longer to learn the layout than the Fantasy or the Norwegian Jewel. But we figured it out. We didn't go to the shows except for the Love & Marriage which was wild and fun. We ate more in the main dinning room. Almost every night. Love our waiter and waitress. (Naricso & Chichi)They were great. And the lady who made sure my glass was always full Keitna. Would love to sail with them again. Our cabin steward Lauro did a great job of keeping our cabin straight.
The cabin was great. This was our first balcony. And we loved it.
This was our first time sailing out of Galveston. Everything went very well with parking and embarkation.
