Review summary

A Wonderful cruise...much better food than Carnival Magic, and, best of all NO LINES! Less people on board means more fun for everyone!

The crew on Triumph are MUCH more friendly than Magic, more accommodating, more enthusiastic.

A notch above Magic.....the food is tasty and plentiful! The Deli is located inside the air conditioned South Beach, not outside like on Magic.

Ship Quality

The ship is SPOTLESS. The crew is always cleaning!

Cabin / Stateroom

This is the BEST cabin location. Right out the door and you are on the outside right above the LIDO deck. You are also right near the glass elevators which take you to any floor. Everything is 5 minutes away! Everything. No long endless hallways.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

Come the night before, visit the Strand!
