Pros: Inexpensive: a balcony stateroom was a bargain compared to other cruise lines.
Cons: Service was poor, food was poor, and gratuities out of line.
Summary: My only other cruise was with Holland America and even though I decided later that I'm not really into cruises, it was a pleasant experience. I only went on this cruise from Galveston to Progreso and Cozumel because it was a family vacation with my mom, ... read more

Cons: Overbooking, long lines, rude staff, dirty ship and ran off private concession on Grand Turks.

Pros: Bountiful food. Clean ship. Excellent service.
Cons: SPA=RIPOFF - these are contractors and if problems, Carnival cannot do anything. Buyer beware!
Summary: This cruise is about the best vacation deal (short of someone else paying) you can buy. Room and meals for about $100 per person per day! Ship conditions were great - nice and clean. Staterooom (balcony) - very large and comfortable. The wait staff ... read more

Pros: We were just very pleased with almost everything on the ship.
Cons: I wanted "hot" tea every night, but did not get it that way.

Pros: Location of our seating for dinner.
Cons: Buffet food horrible. Flies on majority of items. Room cleanliness sub-par. CROWDED!!!!
Summary: The worst part of our cruise was that we were placed in the bottom back end of the ship next to the crew staff area and the engine noise was so LOUD that you might as well forget about sleeping. I will have to say after complaining about the location of ... read more

Pros: Nice ship. Nice employees.
Cons: TOO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE!
Summary: This was my second cruise ever. The first one did not impress me and I swore I would never go on another. I'm so glad that I took the chance and tried one again. I had heard ahead of time that Carnival was cheap and not a good cruise line to take. ... read more

Pros: I can't think of any pros - disembarkation??
Cons: Too many to name - an extreme disappointment.
Summary: This was the fifth time I had cruised on Carnival, and it was by far the worst. The ship (like some other in their fleet) is poorly laid out, with my sister and I having to constantly go up or down a couple of decks to get around the dining rooms ... read more

Pros: Plenty of tasty food,(more bang for your buck)-don’t twist the meaning LOL
Cons: Too many announcements, not enough shops, dull nightclub
Summary: Before I describe what I hate and loved about this ship, I want to suggest that if you can book your own tours. For one, if you book tours through the ship, the tour will be overpriced. In Canada the tours fees are calculated according to the Canadian ... read more

Summary: This is my assessment of my trip on the Triumph from 15 to 22 January, 2005. It started badly. I had made the mistake of allowing Carnival to book my travel to and from the ship which they did on US Air. US Air would not have been my first choice. ... read more
