Carnival Triumph Past, Present, and Future!!!

[Chucksta63]

Is it true that the Triumph has cabins in all categories that will sleep 5? A travel agent told me that and it seemed to good to be true.

 

Any categories or room reccommendations for a family with 3 small children 3, 6, 6? Thanks

Depends on where you want to be and what type of cabin you want!!!! We had a family of 5 stay on the spa deck and love it!! It was a OV cabin with floor to celling windows it was nice!!!! Then there are the Balconys!!!!

Can't go wrong in one of thoes!!!

When are you going??? We are going in April with a group from here!!! Want to go???

Sailing 11/26/05 on Triumph as well...two couples...can't wait! Love reading about the ship and everyone's thoughts. Hope all will continue to do so!

I will be cruising January 21st 2006 with wife, daughter and wife's cousin. who else is cruising that week?

[happy cruzin]

8 of us (3 families) are scheduled for 2/4/06 - Western. We are all really looking foward to it.

 

DH and I have our first aft cabin....anyone have pictures to share??? We would also love to hear about details of the ports and ship. I feel kinda like a sponge.....I can't soak up too much info when planning trips like this.

 

All "donations" to the planning process are graciously accepted...lol :rolleyes:

There are a bunch of roll-calls coming up for the Triumph and wanted to find this thread badly for all of us.

We are now 52 days out and cannot wait! Do we need a bungee cord for a corner aft? I believe I read somewhere that we dont, but want to verify. I will probably bring one anyway. I read that sushi was available one night in dining room as an appetizer? I didnt see this on any menues...:(

 

We will be on the Eastern itinerary this time - any hints, ideas etc would be appreciated

[Chucksta63]

Hi Betty

I don't remember any sushi at all. Not sure about the Aft Cabins But I would think you would need one. There doors are no diffrent from the others that I know of?

I wil be happy to post our thoughts and feeling upon our return.

Sailing on the Triumph November 12 Western Caribbean (first trip out of drydock!) Got the docs last week! First cruise and very excited! We had booked an inside gty, but landed an oceanview upgrade. We'll take it!

In Cozumel we plan to hit Paradise Beach (on recommendations from this site). Grand Cayman will be Stingray City with Moby Dick Tours. Ocho Rios will probably be just a day to relax and enjoy.

DH and I are sailing 01/14/2005. Can't wait! This is only our 2nd cruise in 7 years. We'll be on the Eastern Itinerary. Any tips and recommendations for San Juan, St Thomas & St Maartin would be greatly appreciated!

We arrived in San Juan about 5pm local time and everything closed at 6pm. That really didn't spoil our time, however we didn't get to do much shopping. Just picked up a few items right outside the port. We did however have a most wonderful fun and fantastic time drinking local brew at Senior Frogs. I'm sure many of you tire of Senior Frogs after the first visit or two, however my husband and I reall enjoyed it and had quite a blast. I know there are tours you can take there and some are walking tours, beware of the hills....start at the top and work your way down...Have a good time. All cruises are GREAT cruises. Beats the heck out of work!

I'm glad to see this thread resurface!! We'll be on the Triumph 12/17/05. I can't wait to read some reviews after it comes out of drydock!! :)

[Ev1995]

We sail her on March 4, 2006, hope to hear some great reviews on her after drydock as well.

[BettyB2]

Thanks Chuck for the information! I also plan a detailed review when we get home Dec 11th.... Do you stay in Miami before and/or after cruise? We are staying HI Bayview for one night pre cruise and decided to stay one night post cruise somewhere so our post-cruise blues dont take us over right away!! Do you have a place to recommend. I will be posting on the Miami board about this and a few other things, but seem to get more answers here.

Glad to see other Triumph Roll-Calls coming to visit this board!!!

Hopefully they add a Sushi Bar, otherwise when Mrs. Duck finds out I booked her on a ship without one I'm a dead duck.

[BettyB2]

That would be great Don!!! I was quite bummed out after learning there was not a sushi bar on board and it would make us very, very happy. I did hear on our roll call that sushi is available at the Hong Kong Noodle Co. and on buffet sometimes....

Not quite the same....

 

Chuck - here is a pic of one of the corner aft balcony doors on Triumph - cannot see a bungee. hmmmm

Hi Betty

I am staying at HI Bayside too along with a bunch of folks from our Group! We are doing a meet and Greet at Hardrock Cafe on Friday Night!

Then I am going to stay in Ft. Lauderdale post Cruise. I like to be near our departing airport. I stay at the Sea Club Resort, it is an old Ramada Inn I think. Not the best of hotels but price is great! It is right on the boardwalk in Ft. Lauderdale with an open air bar that looks over the pool one way and the beach the other! Check out our Group Boards for Post Cruise Hotels for pics.

 

Duck Lets pray for Sushi!!!:D

[BettyB2]

Thanks Chuck! Will do! We are flying out of Miami airport the day after cruise, so I need something in Miami. I may enjoy the Bayside and wish to stay there post cruise, but think I want to try something different.

Sailed on the Triumph in June & July of 2005. I found the ship to be dirty and the food well below par. Just my opinion which doesn't mean a darn thing.

[DoctorWho]

I'm so excited to be going on my first Cruise!

 

And I'm glad to have been showen this place by jerrymac.

I can't wait to find out what has been done in drydock... even though I only

have you guys to go by as far as what it was like prior.

 

I hope I enjoy it is much as you all do and as much as I enjoy the lead up to going.

Did you by chance post reviews on these vacations? WOuld love to hear about them.

Although it seems the good WAY out number the bad reviews of the Triumph, I KNOW we will have a great time on her......

What was so bad about the food? Please tell, I am one of those cruise -foodies (due to family of chefs)....thanks.

We take the good and the bad here........please tell me what was so bad.

 

And Doctor, We will be cruising in December and if there is anything you or ANYONE wants me to find out for them, I will do my best to find out for you.

Have a great first cruise!!

[Chucksta63]

[BettyB2]

maybe you should start a Triumph roll call for your sailing on the Carnival Roll Call thread. I checked and there doesnt seem to be one
