This was our 13th Carnival Cruise, and our 3rd on Triumph (the 1st since the 2/2013 fiasco).
Embarkation - Parked at Galveston Park N Cruise just across the street from the pier at 12:30. We're at the Platinum level of the VIFP program, so we had the priority embarkation. After arriving at the terminal at 12:40, we were on the ship by 12:55. Only delay was about 3 minutes waiting at security for some bumblers without the proper documentation. The room was immediately available for us to go to and drop off our carry-ons.
Stateroom - We were in 7205, a forward facing ocean view (strangely, Carnival calls this an obstructed view). This room is laid out for people with disabilities / wheelchairs. The room has a strange triangular shape, so the 2 beds couldn't be put together. My wife and I felt like Lucy and Ricky Ricardo! After the lifeboat drill, we were offered a deck 2 interior if we wanted to change, but elected to stay in 7205.
