Review summary

The late night dining was excellent. Wonderful food, amazing personal service. No one can ever remember my wifes name, but all the help staff we dealt with remembered both our names from the first day! Ship was clean, had many things to do. Great shows, still amazed at how the performers did so many different dances and routines and knew all their steps. Ok to the , why the 4 stars instead of 5. Kids! Not that we don't like kids, but we went to relax. Out of every single pool and hot tub on board, they were full of splashing, screaming, parco-poloing kids. Not a big fan of swimming in all that pee. Seriously tho, if only carnival would have made one area off limits to children, the cruise would have been a 6 star cruise.

I will call him Al, cause unlike him, I couldn't pronounce his name. Al and Michael were wonderful! Very professional and Al was always smiling and joking around, kept us entertained and well fed!

Not sure about the programs because we went as a couple on our anniversary...kids need their own area for hot tubs and pools. Not very relaxing for us.

The first flush of our toilet overflowed. They have a drain installed for just such an emergency. Called staff and the problem was resolved within 15 min. Elsa did a great job, except she played a little game with us called (hide the trash can) lol She surprised us with a little surprise every day, which my wife really loved.

Ship tip

Don't pack your documents in your luggage, keep them on you at all times. See was rough on our first two days, bring Dramamine! Also if you do get sea sick, level 3 has a smokers section with railing that you can lay down and see the horizon. This will help tremendously with sickness.

Ports of call

NickandAshley ahh yes but they can go to the casino in the carpet part because kids aren't allowed on the carpet

Triumph does not have a Serenity deck.

SERENITY is adults only. You did not go there? Do not book a cruise when schools are out or on holidays and spring break if you do not want kids. Most parents just let the kids run wild.😎😎

It would be nice to make the aft pool area a Serenity 😁
