This will be our last cruise with Carnival.

The Triumph is simply falling apart. While laying out deck the ship blew hot oil out of the smokestack onto sunbathers. The crew had to help everyone clean themselves and then shut down the deck to clean it. Before the oil incident, the Triumph already had 1/3 of its deck shut off (for the whole cruise) while they refinished it. Because the needed the construction staging area, the sliding margradome never opened and the back pool was cold and shady. Renovating with guests onboard is awful. We heard saws running and smelled epoxy deck paint the entire cruise. Plus with so much deck space closed, there was a major lack of seating pretty much anytime of day.

The Triumph is in dire need of serious renovations. There isn't a surface not covered in rust and dirt. The staterooms are the worst I've ever seen in 30 years of cruising. Read about the room below. Sticky. The other couple cruising with us had holes in the walls in their stateroom and their couch was ripped all over.

Cabin Review

Premium Vista Balcony

Cabin 9C

We found throw up on the first day down the sloping glass of the back of our aft-wrap balcony. They did not clean it up the entire cruise.

The balcony is huge and the room is nicely laid out. This room was dingy, but all the staterooms on the Triumph are putrid.

Our cabin was worn out and dirty. The sink was cracked. There were trim pieces missing everywhere. The ceiling was dented, scratched, and discolored. The curtains and bedding were stained. Every wall was dirty, scratched up, and gross. Carnival should be ashamed of themselves for the filth in the stateroom.

Clearly no one had dusted for months. The windows and balcony glass were so dirty you could not clearly see out. The balcony was rusted and dirty. There were cigarette butts on day one out there. The last day of the cruise, the smokestack blew oil and ash all over the balcony and made it a nasty mess.

New Orleans is not a very nice town.
