Default Triunph Oct 8 2012 first timer

Have never posted anything in my whole life. Be easy on me. Excited about the cruise and have read almost every review I could find. Have traveled to many placed but have flown. Ready to relax and enjoy. No kids just wife and me. Also have friends going that are also first timers so this should be good. Hope we dont break any simple rules and get thrown off the boat.

the ship is not that large where someone will be getting lost.

Basically you will be in your cabin- on the lido deck for food/or pools or down on deck 5 for entertainment. every place else is cabin areas

You will each have a copy of the fun times. go over it and find out where you will be at what time.

the cabin telephones are free when you call between cabins and they are equipped with voice mails.

Plan to meet up for dinner-- other then that--go off and do your own things.

Hi, koolhandluke!

Congratulations on your first cruise! It appears I will be sailing (also a first-timer) on the Triumph the next sail after yours. Can't wait!!!

Have a GREAT time!

If you do some reading on the boards, you will see it is not hard to plan and arrange meeting places and times when you have too. But, the flip side is you are on vacation, and don't really need to be in contact 24/7.
