Carnival Cruise Lines - Triumph Reviews

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… read full 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 I met except for one felt the same way.as I did....we stayed in cabin 8434 which was an aft extended balcony room...our suitcases had to go outside because while the bathroom was very spacious it meant that the space was taken from the room itself....although the room was very… read full review »

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… read full 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… read full review »

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… read full review »

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… read full 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… read full 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… read full review »

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… read full review »

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… read full review »

Panama Canal Cruise.  Transfers were late getting us to the Canal.  The movie had already started.  Transfers were expensive.  When they gave us time to view the canal and take photos, we got up there and then we were paged to load for transfer back immediately.  Barely time to view it and to take a couple of QUICK PHOTOS.  Ripped off. —… read full review »

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… read full review »

The cruise was great!!! My family had a good time.  The service was better on this cruise than on the Glory.  Lots of activities to keep us busy or when we felt like it, just sit in the sun and relax.  We had a balcony cabin for this cruise.  It will be hard to go back to a plain stateroom after… read full review »
