Review summary

All and all I enjoyed the cruise. Would cruise again but pick different destination! The best things on cruise ship are the shows. The massages are excellent. Food was great in dining room. Loved the drinks. Loved our room on back of ship. Can’t wait to cruise again!!!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
I enjoyed Triumph although we had mechanical problems and were late coming back to port! The staff on this ship is amazing. I hadn’t been on a cruise since 2001 so things had changed a little bit. We ate mostly in dining room on your time dining and were assigned London room 3fwd. Everyone was perfect in that dining room. I purchased Cheers pkg and I tried to drink everyday but could only get 5 or 6 throughout day. Drinks were great I just could drink them fast enough. I did enjoy different things I might not have tried. We did not purchase excursions due to we booked our own private excursions. We stayed over last night due to getting into port late. I was amazed the next morning that had full breakfast buffet available and the staff treated us like it was normal day. All in all my cruise experience was great. I loved our room as well. We had extended balcony on back of ship which we could lay out in privacy. Really nice

Ship tip

Pack light. I wore swimsuit and cover up during day. Swimsuit under shorts/shirt on excursions. I wore one nice dress cocktail style for formal night. Mostly maxi sundress I overpacked!! I had hanging toiletry bag which was very useful in bathroom and I carried on board. Not many places for magnets. Some people decorated their door outside which was cute!!!

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

Shopping area really nice but we booked Mr Sanchos an all inclusive beach

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

3 out of 5
We booked private excursion through Yucatan Cenote. Had problem coming back to ship. Guards gave our tour guide problem wouldn’t let us through all though he had proper documentation. They wanted money from him. So we had to go back to Progresso and get a taxi

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Ship had mechanical problems coming back from Progresso so it took twice as long and was rough coming back.

I enjoyed your review. Though your cruise didn't go as planned you didn't let it ruin your attitude about cruising. I will be taking the same cruise on dec 9th for the second time. It was a pleasure reading your review

Would you book the same location again? We want a balcony.

Sounds like fun! I’m interested in a massage but can find a price list? Do you have one?
