We were on the Triumph Oct 6-10 for her first voyage out of Galveston. Our group was all ladies...leaving the men at home. We were about half with multiple cruises and half newbies. We all had an excellent time. For those of use who had cruised before, we had all been on Carnival ships at least once in the past.

Parking: we used EZ Cruise Parking and the service was awsome...probably because the Triumph was the only ship in port. The porters removed our bags from our vehicles and put them directly on the shuttle and we got on and headed to the ship. No waiting!!!!

Embarkation was the worst I've ever experienced. Getting thru security was a breeze but according to an announcement that Carnival kept repeating...the terminal computers would not sync with the ships computers so no one could be checked in. We stood in the snake line AT LEAST an hour and a half before the computers were fixed and the line could begin moving. We arrived at the terminal about noon and it was after 2 before we got on the ship. This delay with the computers caused the ship to be late moving. I don't really know what time we left but, it WAS before dark.
