This was our 2nd sailing on the Triumph doing the W. Caribbean itinerary, visiting Cozumel, Grand Cayman & Ocho Rios. Again, we enjoyed this cruise and would do it all over again tomorrow.

We flew out of Newark, NJ the day before sailing and arrived at the Miami airport with no problems. We had booked the Courtyard by Marriott Airport South for a very fair price of $174. with tax.
