Additional details

Sail Date: Aug 2008
Cabin: Interior Upper/Lower

We had two cabins (2212 and 2216) on the Carnival Triumph's Aug. 31-Sept. 7 sailing. We unfortunately cruised during two hurricanes (hey, that's the chance you take when booking during hurricane season), but all in all, it went as well as can be expected.

We arrived a day early thank goodness and stayed at the Hampton Inn Blue Lagoon near the airport. The next day we boarded a shuttle to the Port of Miami. We took the 11 am shuttle from the hotel and were onboard by 12:15 pm at the latest. Check in was easy and effortlesseven though we did have a hiccup with the Sign and Sail cardfirst, they couldn't understand that I wanted my mother and aunt on my account and our second cousin was to be on her own account. Then we couldn't find out any information about the refund of our fuel surcharges as we were part of the group that booked way before fuel surcharges were announced.

But once we got on we had lunch in the buffet restaurant on the Lido deckbeware, the floors are marble and very, very slick in the humid weather-I nearly feel twice in the tennis shoes I was wearing and I know I would have fallen if I would have been wearing flip flops. I wore Tevas most of the time and had all the grip I needed to get through without falling in this restaurant.

Cabin 1A

Pretty spacious bathroom, good sized closet, but could feel the movement of the ship this close to the front.
