Sail date: June 21, 2010

Ship: Carnival Triumph

Cabin type: Oceanview

Review summary

The ship is large and clean. The food is really well prepared, but there is a distinct lack of berries and assortment of fruit. (Just mainly bannana, apples, oranges and melons). Basketball court is small and the mini golf court has seen better days. There is a section of the ship that was reserved for ping pong and water ballons that was rarely used (waste of space). It is really hard for an injured person to get around on the boat.

I liked the bands.

Children's Programs

The teen club - 15+ was lacking in activities that weren't lame (according to my son).

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The irons were dirty and stained my husband's shirt. We had a lot of hassel getting it washed for the dinner that night. This is unacceptable when you are not allowed to bring your own iron on board.

Beaches are a taxi ride away. Eat before you get off the ship or you will be paying a premium for food. Once you take a taxi out you can "agree" to a price to get you around the island. Don't miss downtown for shopping - the port shopping is expensive. But becareful - shirts shrink and everyone's mother or family made that!

Water was dirty. Smelled funny and felt funny - like there were chemicals in the water. You get mobbed going to the beach and as soon as you sit down to buy stuff. Good for shopping but not good for relaxing.
