Triumph need to be scrapped

I would never book a cruise on this tub. Ship is jinxed. Carnival should dump this piece of junk for whatever they can get and put the $100 towards a new ship.

Noticed you haven't cruised on her.Are you just "piling on" from the last cancellation frustration or have they cancelled the 12/4 cruise as well?

A great ship, sailed on her 20 times, never a problem.

Her captain Lemey one of the best. :p

We loved the Triumph. Our first balcony cruise. Although my nephew kept calling it the “Trump boat”. Haha maybe you’re right.

I cruised on her last June and will be on her again in January. Can't wait!

I love the comparisons people are making to a car breaking down ocassionally. No, this is more like when you drive your car into the ditch and break it.

So sad that the poster feels that way. Oh well, leaves more room for us that love the Triumph.

How is that? What do you know about the problem? I've heard it's a pitch control problem, nothing to do with any previous problem.

Pretty much the definition of trolling?

and agree with jimbo,,op why??? exactly.? your sudden ire and wrath with this ship? Just wondering.

reasons for your post might make us understand where you are coming from...I mean other than where you are... LOL

Personaly, I didn't like her hen I was on her, a very rough ride, even with calm seas. I would like her to be "Sunshine;d"

What is a pitch control problem?

The propellers are controllable pitch, which means that the "angle" of the blades changes to change the amount the propeller moves the ship per revolution. This is controlled by hydraulics to a mechanical linkage that moves all four propeller blades the same amount. Apparently, they can only get the propeller to 20% of its pitch, or power, so there is some work to be done on the propeller underwater.

So were talking roughly how long of a dry dock to repair ? I know in the past they talked about putting a little Sunshiny on her but that fell apart when Sunshine didn't take off like they thought it would.

Thank you for your for another tremendous contribution to Cruise Critic!:evilsmile:

we have cruised on Triumph twice...the first time was a year or 2 after the fire and then again just this last September. Love this ship. I don't think it is jinxed, just normal wear and tear on machinery, could happen to a newer one as well. I would actually book again on this ship.

Cruised on the Triumph twice, both times from NOLA, would do it again in a heartbeat. As an earlier poster noted the Captain was awesome.

Spot on. Trolling at it's finest.

That much??:p

Carnival Triumph is what got me hooked. Sailed on both her sisters within the past two years; Sunshine is probably my favorite though.

The repairs can, and apparently have, been done in the water using divers, depending on what is actually causing the pitch to stop at 20%. I've seen repairs that needed remachining of the inside of the propeller hub, which required drydocking, that were done in under a week, and most of that time was shipping the hub to a place where it could be machined.

Just checked ship tracker on Triumph's location. She's not in the Mississippi River yet. There's no way people will be boarding on time today. Just wondering if cruisers on today's voyage we're notified.

The Triumph was the last Carnival ship I sailed on. The poor shape the ship was in, plus, the lack of employees that cared. It is only getting worse, and not better based on the history of the posts, but yet, when a poster states the obvious, they are called a troll.
