Carnival Triumph Review

Additional details
My husband has been trying to get me to "ok" a cruise for as long as I can remember. Not that I never wanted to do it, but I just wasn't a fan of confining myself on a boat with no way to escape if I wasn't having a good time. Weird, I know. I just prefer to provide myself with options. Especially if it's over multiple days.
So, for his big 40th birthday, I thought why not? We booked our cruise about 6 months ago and had a few other couples (also first time cruisers) join us. We were all very excited to spend the time together celebrating a great occasion.
Our embarkation and first night were great! We had fun kind of getting to know the ship and partaking in the drinks, food, etc. We were all woken up at some point during our first night with lots of rocking back and forth. Nothing that made anyone sick, but for us first-timers, it was a strange sensation. Especially when I had been told repeatedly that "you won't feel a thing". I beg to differ.
Cabin Review
Ocean View
Much bigger than expected. Our window view was GREAT! I often spent a lot of time in front of the window just looking out over the ocean. The bathrooms were small, but very functional. There was ample closet and drawer space. I have no complaints about the cabins at all. As I said, they exceeded our expectations.
Yes, the decor was older, but who cares.
