This was our third cruise out of Galveston and second on the Triumph. We went in December 2011 with our 92 year old grandmother and other family members. We went again with more family members this year who wanted to watch Grandma have the time of her life.
We chose this cruise because Galveston is an hour away from our homes. We also made a controversial decision to book the cheapest cabin available for four people. We landed in room 1423, the 5th room from the back of the ship on the starboard side. To our surprise, we did not feel much motion. We did hear the engines on occasion, but it was not very loud. Our aft position made the Paris Dining Room very convenient.
The 4 person cabin featured the traditional two twin beds and the bunk beds that dropped from the ceiling. Placing the twin beds right under the bunk beds maximized our room space. The rooms are very well designed for offering lots of storage space. We were able to put away all of our luggage and clothing with room to spare and the bathroom had a very large medicine cabinet.
