CARNIVAL TRIUMPH THANKSGIVING WEEK CRUISE

PRE CRUISE DAY (Nov. 18th) - Chaos during thanksgiving travel weekend and the Nov. weather in Buffalo, had flying into West Palm Beach Florida on the Friday before our cruise. The Best Western was a clean basic hotel for $71 all tax inc. We chose it for the nice pool, continental breakfast and airport transfer van for $15. The hotel also included a coffee machine and small fridge. Only down side was a lack of elevator for the second story (carrying all our cruise luggage at over 60 lbs. a bag up two flights was too much work for a vacation!)

GROUP- Six of us, four adults in our late 30s two kids 11 and 12. This was the 5th cruised for Rob & I, third for Ben (12), second for Margaret (11) and the first for our friends. All were carnival cruises, 7 days except for the last one in May, the RCI Grandeur on a repo. Read more
