Another Carnival Triumph Question

Pretty much, yes. They were retrofitted to slightly older ships when the newer ones had proved the technology (and gotten reputations for almost eliminating seasickness); I think even the remaining former liners like QE2 have been fitted with stabilizing tech.

Earlier in our marriage, my wife swore she couldn’t look at a boat without getting sick, and had gotten seasick in a harbor cruise of her father’s naval craft (which I think was the freakin’ Enterprise). We took a fairly big chance on our first cruise and… no problem, even on the high-speed runs where the ship tends to bounce a bit.

I bellieve the QE 2 was built with stabilizers.

You may be right, although I have a dim recollection of reading about an upgrade to her tech in this regard - maybe from fixed thrusters to pivoting ones.
