We achieved our Platinum status (with some negotiating) with Carnival with this cruise. They have recently changed their loyalty program and it now requires many more cruises to achieve Platinum and Diamond status. The downside was there was very little benefits for being Platinum status on this ship. We were expedited through the Sail and Sign card issuance process but were delayed because they double booked our cabin.

Overall, the Triumph's refurbs are good. She is clean with nice carpet and chairs. Anyone that has recently sailed on the Ecstasy knows how disappointing a tired cruise ship can be.

Platinum was debarked with all of the other passengers so don't expect any perks from this ship/port. We always park with Lighthouse and as usual, they were awesome. Quick service and very reasonable price.

Cabin Review

Interior

Cabin 4F

8214 - is a 4F cabin.

- no shelves in the closet; hanging space only. Very inconvenient for shorts, swimsuits, etc.

- The air conditioning adjustments are done via vent on the ceiling. There is no instruction or markings and this is very hard to adjust.

- The lights in the bathroom take forever to come on!

- Take a nightlight and power strip

8210 - we booked three in this cabin...notable: the 3rd sleeps on a cot on the floor. With three in the room, there is zero room for suitcases or other storage. The cabin steward could not clean up because the floor was 100% occupied.
