Do not feed into the negative feedback about the Carnival Triumph. This ship is very nice (similar to Freedom if you have sailed on her). The carpet was new, everything was very clean. The temperature in our Oceanview cabin on the Main deck forward was perfect, and easily accessible to change it if we needed to. The shower pressure was perfect along with the water temp.
Every staff member on the ship was overly nice and polite and greeted you by name at all times.
The food on the lido deck was good. There were a lot more options to choose from. Guy Fieri and Blue Iguana are near perfect status when it comes to the quality of food. The main dining hall offered the American Menu. It was nice to have other options than the standard menu's that Carnival has offered over the years. The options were good, and the meals that offered at port style flair were great.
This cabin had great space, tons of storage, great twin beds (very comfortable) , a pull out couch that turns into a full sized bed (not so soft but good for a kid), great water pressure/temp.
Great, friendly city. You must go to the River walk shopping center!
