Review summary

The Triumph crew, stewards, wait staff, cleaning staff and entertainment were all the nicest people and did excellent at all here jobs! Very fun & clean! I just think Carnival should consider not doing repairs to their ships while they're full of cruisers trying to relax. The Triumph is in need of updates; ceiling & flooring etc. but it's not what you expect to see when you take off to get away from it all!

Hair dryer looked scary but worked fine! Bed & pillows were so comfortable!

Ship tip

Buy endless bubbles or have case of water brought to your room before you board! Take a beach bag to shop or carry towels, sunscreen, swimsuits & sunglasses to excursions & bottled water! Replenish with water!!!!

Even if you have a late check in get to Ship Parking early and walk over to the mall next door if you need to waste time! Parking fills up fast!

The ship is at sea constantly for at least 6 months at a time. Repairs need to be done as needed. In my experience, they usually try to wait until the ship is in port and most passengers are ashore to minimize disruptions.

No, I just cruised on the Triumph last week and the boat wasn't too bad. I enjoyed my cruise.

The boat was newly remodeled when we sailed in 2013. Is it already that bad?

If they don't keep up with it the ship will be in bad shape.
