Best advice I can give is to relax and enjoy everything. Be sure and check out everything the ship has to offer and you will love the piano bars and "gathering" bars throughout the ship. You will meet many great people also. As far as shore excursions, I don't ever book ahead. Plans have a way of changing and you can always make arrangements at each port.

Awsome thanks for the advice i have been soooooooooooo excited this is actually my first real vacation im 25 divorced with 2 small kids this is the greatest thing anyone has ever done for me . my best friend paid for the whole thingi have been counting down the days. my boyfriend isn't that happy he thinks two girls on a cruise by themselves is dangerous

My friend and I just got back from the Triumph (1st time)in the spring. We had a wonderful time.

Just a suggestion, I did not find them pushy, but they take lots of pictures (if you want) on the ship, in different areas. A lot of people don't want them taken, as they think they have to "pay" for them. You don't. all you have to do is look them over, and if you don't want them, they don't say anything. (You look at them on your own, with noone around.)

I hope you have as wonderful time, as we did. I had read so many bad things about Carnival, but we (over 50) had a blast.
