Review summary

It was our first cruise and it was better than expected. The food was unbelievable and the staff was incredibly nice. There is so much to do you can never be bored or hungry. The ride was very smooth and you would forget that you were on a boat. We enjoyed the excursions we went on also. Two thumbs up!

Ship tip

Download the app. It was a great way to keep track of what's going on. Also, if you have kids with phones using the chat feature is a great way to touch base with your group.

Carnival Triumph, Ecstasy, and Freedom are my go to getaway cruise. I love to get on them when I don't want to spend a lot of money, but want to be on a cruise.

The Triumph was our first cruise in 2004!  John Heald was our Cruise Director!

It was fun, entertaining, relaxing, and just a darn good time!   We have been on other cruise lines, but Carnival has a special place in our lives. GREAT Time, Every Time!
