Fake Steve Carrel

Can anyone who recently traveled, or is soon to travel, on the Triumph verify if the ship has the new internet packages? I read they would be up by Aug 29 but haven't read anything about it.

Hey,

Just wondering if anyone who has been to PRogreso recently remember if there were Jet Ski rentals anywhere that you remember? Thank you!

Gin!

I always wear my tank tops, and cargo jean short cut offs to dinner. I'm on vacation.

I bet the rude server had already been terminated and they were waiting to finish the cruise?

So if we purchase it prior to the cruise and we sail out of Galveston TX. When will it be delivered to the room? :confused:

I cruised out of Galveston and the bottle was in our room when we returned from Dinner

Haha. Its kinda fun to just laugh about now.

I can't believe the crewman could/would do that. I would've said something to him directly. The staff on the Triumph, another ship of the same class, were never like that and even remembered our drinks days later.

Granted, some Jeans look more elegant, and cost more money, than the over-sized, pleated khakis or old slacks that some men choose to wear.

But no shorts. Especially not cargo shorts.

So, the drinking age in Nassau is 18?

Interesting........

Anyone know about Cozumel?

Inquiring minds want to know.....:rolleyes:

18 is Cozumel also.

Well if it's more than you can eat....eat less? Order less? Hah. At least it tasted good.

When are yall going to Sanchos? The week of Feb 24?

Nice!

You need to wear a full suit/ dress or you will look out of place

I will admit I was worried before my first cruise also. But if ships can be without engine power for days and only list a bit, then that gives me peace of mind.

Such is why there are engineers.

The Triumph staff is great. One of our friends bought a drink on the first day, but never came up to Lido after that. On the last day. A server asked how our friend was and used his name. Amazing. Never had a bad experience.

So what is everyone's favorite Lido deck dance or Line dance?

I thought it would be cool for everyone to put in their opinion, and to see if some ships do dances the others don't. For example: the Carnival Triumph does the Copperhead Road, but I'm not sure any others do.

I love the Copperhead Road first, and second has to be the Cha Cha Slide.

People still line dance?

Guess you've never been on a cruise. I do the wobble sometimes, and the cha cha slide. But I'm not white enough for the Cupid shuffle

Go to Sanchos. You can get all inclusive or pay as you go. There is a booking site that offers the AI plus the water inflatables for $57, somewhere.

There's sand on the beach

I just called Carnival and they hooked it up for me that way.

Unlike the majority of the reviewers here, our experience was not as pleasant as theirs. We had the unfortunate luck to be in port on Christmas Day, 13. Many of the vendors were not there. We had no plans for anything in Progresso so when an Autoprogresso agent approached us in the market, we listened to what he said.

 

1st off, he told us we were only paying for the Technotel. We had zero desire to see salt flats, Mayan ruins, and flamingos. All we wanted was some beach, tequila, and some food. We paid 35/pp, got the wrist band and waited for our 15 passenger van to arrive.

 

If you're wanting a massage, get them in the market. You can get them for 20 bucks there, more like 30-50 at Technotel.

 

We get in the van with a bunch of really nice people. Our tour guide was a wonderful young man named Christian. Very sweet. We begin the tour with trying to find gas on Christmas day. Not sure why that wasn't handled before hand. Finally, get gas, head out. We were under the impression we would be dropped off at Technotel and everyone else would meet up with us after the ruins, etc. Nope, we got the whole freaking kit and kaboodle. While some might thing "score", we were aggravated. It was not what I wanted and they wouldn't drop us off, I asked.

 

When we finally get to Technotel, it was a super let down. The beach is rather dirty looking. Think Biloxi or Galveston. The water was murky and shallow, just like Biloxi. I knew it wasn't Cozumel, but I hoped for better than Biloxi. We wanted a place with some shade, but the only shady place was some plastic tables with those cheap plastic chairs that stack. So, no reclining or sun bathing. There were some weird hard plastic chairs that sit directly on the sand closer to the beach, but they were already taken. The pool area was very nice, looked like it was bustling with waiters. We didn't see any waiters on the beach. If you wanted food, you had to go to the buffet and get it yourself. Food was not so great at all. Mr. Sancho's the next day was much better.

 

The bar on the beach was playing music, which was nice. It would have been nicer if I could have be sun bathing instead of sitting in a flimsy plastic stacking chair. The only beer they have is Sol, and it's in a can that they pour into a plastic cup. Of course, it was hot. The tequila was the lesser quality, what I call the rot gut. No Don Julio or even Patron.

 

Even though we had paid ahead of time some person came up to my sons and husband and said they needed our credit card for payment. Nope, we already paid.

 

Because of the rest of the tour, we were only at the Technotel for about 2 hours, but IMO, it was 2 hours too long. I hope that this poor experience was a direct result of it being Christmas day and most people just wanted to be home with their families. I doubt that I'll ever do this Technotel again.

I mean no offense, but you can't expect all you can drink patron or Don Julio for $35. I wish! And from what I have experienced every beach before the peninsula looks like that.

I will take a 1-2 hour power shortage(2 free hours on a cruise!) over RC's Norovirus any day.

Well either way. Break a rule and give him some a drink on the ships or give him one in port legally. Just don't let the boy get drunk.
