We had a great time on the Triumph.

We are first time cruisers but will definitely be cruising again with Carnival. We flew in a day early and stayed at the Wyndam Garden Baronne. Got nice price of $129 for the night. Walking distance from French Quarter. Spent the after noon walking around. We wanted to go to a locally owned restaurant (hole in the wall). We found the best! Toula's is right next to Harrah's and it had fabulous food!! We had an oyster po boy, cat fish po boy and Gumbo. Get the mac and cheese as a side. The best ever and the cheese will string all the way to your mouth.

Embarkation : Took a taxi to the port the next day. Taxi service is great in Nola and many times it is a flat rate so there is no way to get over charged. We had 11:00-11:30 and got there about 11:25 and got in line. We waited about 15 minutes without the line moving when we realized that we were in the line to wait for your time slot to be called. Since our time slot was ready we could move to the front of the line and go straight in. We didn't feel the waiting was excessive. We were on the ship by 12:30.

Cabin Review

Ocean View

Cabin 6A

We loved this cabin. It has a nice window not a port hole. We choose it since our 6' 250# son who is a weight lifter was with us. The couch was great for him with a extra cushion on the top that our room steward IS (yes that's his name) provided. This room is rated for 4 people so the trundle under the bed was there but we didn't use it. I would choose another room just like this without the trundle so we could have put our luggage under the bed. As it was the luggage (three full size suitcases) fit in the closets. Quite area on deck 1. No noise from any other rooms. My son and I both are Big Guys and I don't understand people complaining about the showers. Neither him or I had any problem with room in the shower and I weigh more than he does.

New Orleans

We had a really good time walking around. Try Toula's for lunch or dinner. Next to Harrah's. A little hole in the wall with the best food. The mac and cheese will string all the way to your mouth and the gumbo is outstanding!!
