Review summary

We enjoyed our cruise. The service was excellent. Eating in the dinning room each night was a great experience for our teenage girls. There were lots of activities they could participate in each day.

Internet Cafe

We kept getting knocked off of the Wi-Fi and having to log back in.

Photo Studio

2 out of 5

Photographers were great, but the organization of photos and the cost we're terrible. Since we all have Sail and Sign cards, there should be a way to scan anyone in the groups card, take their picture, and link them together. Either in a digital format for a reasonable cost or packages deals for the more you purchase. We stood two different times digging through stacks of photos. Due to cost we only purchased two pictures.

Ship tip

Do not over pack, bring a surge protector, and an extra bag for shopping.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

4 out of 5
We stayed in New Orleans two nights before we left. Lots of things to see and do, but Bourbon Street is not very clean.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Beautiful place to do excursions because port is very commercialized.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

5 out of 5
We really enjoyed the shopping in Progress.

I am glad that you had a great time on the Triumph. My two teenagers sailed April 28 and had a wonderful time as the crew is the best that I have ever sailed with.
