Carnival Cruise Lines - Triumph Review Summary

The Carnival Cruise Line Triumph earned very excellent ratings from Viewpoints reviewers. There was universal praise of the “fantastic food”. Budget conscious travelers loved the great entertainment and wide range of activities, one saying “You have to try to be bored!” Be careful, the all-too-common complaint of expenses adding up quickly once again rears it’s ugly head. Try the Carnival Elation, the Carnival Fantasy and more!

I have been on five Carnival cruises. People ask me why not try another? I say if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I love Carnival and I know I will get the very best treatment for my money. I love the personal service from the minute you step on the ship. The room attendants are wonderful. They don't... review »

I have been on 10 cruises and this was the most unmemorable..excpet that I spent $2700 (before the ship and sale card charges, excursions, tips etc. ))
 for a week of mediocrity and bad service.....I have read so many good reviews that I wonder if I was even on the same ship...but, every fellow passenger...

The Carnival Triumph Cruise I went on was an amazing vacation.  My cruise stopped in Cozumel Mexico, Grand Cayman, and Ocho Rios Jamaica.  It was a 7 day cruise (which flew by).  Everyday when I was on the ship there were tons of activities available.  All of these activities helped you get to know other people on the cruise.  I liked all of the funny competitions that they held.  Also the food on the cruise was amazing.  When it comes down to everything you get, the shows, the food, entertainment, etc, it is a very inexpensive vacation.

In January, we cruised on the Carnival Triumph for a large family vacation.  This was the second time that my husband and we on this ship, so it was nice to be famliar with where everything is and the great spots to hang out at.

Service, food and activites were a plenty and all good.  Our ports of call were, Miami, Half Moon Cay, St. Thomas, San Juan and Nassau.  I do not reccommend Nassau as an exciting or even very clean port, although to each his own.

This is my first review of my first cruise, so bear with me! This review will best help first time cruisers.

First off, I had an excellent time! I went with a group of 30 or so friends/co-workers. Not exactly a romantic getaway, but guess what...I hardly ever saw my group except at dinner! Even on the days at sea, when all 2700 passengers are stuck on the boat, there is so many different things to do (or nothing at all!) that you can still manage to stay entertained (and avoid people you might not want to hang out with!)

Again, overall it was great...the cabin steward was extremely helpful, and seemed...

 This was my first experience with cruising.  Prior to this trip, I never really "liked" the idea of being confined to a boat..or the feeling of confinement. But after much positive feedback from both relatives and coworkers who had been before, I decided to try it out.  Everything was amazing!  Service was good, from the room service, to the spa service, to the dining services.  I had no feelings of confinement whatsoever.  We stayed in a balcony room and it was an excellent amenity choice.  The food was good and definitely non-stop!  Everything was great until the very end.  We had to... review »

My husband and I took our honeymoon on the Triumph with stops in San Juan, St Thomas and St Maarten. It was absolutely wonderful. When we booked it, we were worried that since Carnival is so family focused, that we would not have much as newlyweds to do. Carnival does a wonderful job of providing activities for all ages, throughout the day. We almost forgot that there were kids all over the boat! I was able to relax by the pool with a book, or take a walk around the boat without having to dodge little ones. Don't get me wrong, I adore kids, we were just glad to be able to celebrate our honeymoon... review »

We have taken 8 cruises and they have always been on Carnival.  We always take our adult children but, started cruising when our oldest daughter asked for the cruise as her senior gift.  Our youngest daughter was in 10th grade.  They both have become avid Carnival cruisers also.  We enjoy the hospitality of the crew and the wonderful service in the diningroom.  The ships are beautiful with the Triumph being one of our favorites.  We plan on taking our 9th cruise in January of '09.  We have always taken the Carribbean but will do the Mexican Rivera out of LAX this time.  We are looking so...

SECOND CRUISE--WE ARE ADDICTED!

This was our second cruise on Canival.  We took some friends with us who had never cruised before.  They were speechless most of the time.  This ship was beautiful.  Bigger than our last one on the sensation. 

We were in an inside cabin on Deck 7.  We are fine with inside cabins.  All we do there is sleep.  If you spend too much time in your room, you are missing out on the purpose of the cruise!

Half Moon Cay was by far the favorite island.  A private island with crystal blue water.  I will definatley go back there!  St Thomas was beautful.  We snorkled...

My experience on the Carnival Triumph was wonderful! My Husband and I cruised to the Eastern Caribbean (Stops in San Juan, St Thomas, and St Maarten) last fall for our honeymoon. The ship was immaculate, and there was always someone to help us if we needed anything. The opportunities and activities were endless. You have to try to be bored on this boat! The food was fantastic. At first I wasn't sure about having dinner scheduled for me, but then I realized that was only if you want to dine in the main dining room. Other opportunities for meals are available at all times all over the ship. My biggest... review »

When I took this cruise, it was my first one.  Being a picky eater, I was worried about the food.  I was able to get whatever I wanted.  A tablemate and I both ordered things that weren't on the menu for that evening's meal in the dining room.  Seven of us traveled together so it was hard getting chairs on the ship's deck together.  It's hard to get a lounge chair if you're not on deck early.  Breakfast was better on deck than in the dining room.  If you're heading to the beach, $5 will get you to Megan's Bay in St. Thomas, or take the water taxi from the main dock in St. Marten.  Skip... review »

Carnival basically allows you to have the type of cruise you want IF you make some decisions that will allow you to have the best possible time as opposed to simply going with the crowd. Yes, the average age is young, yes there is a lot of entertainment, and yes you could be busy 24/7.

But instead of trying to get the most value for your buck, try getting the best value for your buck. Don't do something simply because it's there, do it because you want to. A quiet area can always be found if that's what you want at the time. DECIDE what to do, don't ahve it served to you on a plastic plate.

Although this was my first cruise we had a wonderful time. This was our 35th anniversary and do not believe that we could have picked a better event. Had dinner at the captains table once. Bought several pieces of jewelry at the ports. We went hiking, swimming, sunbathing on a private Island, meet a lot of the local culture. Skeet shooting on a ship is a real experience. Went to an art show and auction. At the auction I was able to get a couple of nice pieces that went very well in our new home. This was a real FIRST class celebration. We will do it again.

We had a great time, I can't wait to cruise with them again.  there were lots of great activites, you should dod the tour of bioluminecent bay in puerto rico. the food was awesome, and the service was fantastic.  we had 7 great days.  The only let down was the a lot of the crowd was older so when you went to the clubs on board after midnight everything was empty. they all went to bed at 9pm so they could get up at 5am for breakfast.

The ship was grand...cabin spacious and clean!!!  Prefer a smaller ship with less than 3000 passengers.  Also, you can't beat the food and food quality.  Cabin service was impeccable...you no sooner leave, bed is made, bathroom cleaned, etc. All in all, for the money, you can't go wrong with cruising...love it!!!
