This is a short list of good and bad points found during my recent cruises on the Carnival Triumph. I will write a longer, more detailed chronological trip report for each cruise, but wanted to give my insight on the overall crew, ship, and experience. Keep in mind that these points are based on 2 cruises back-to-back, so this is a comprehensive opinion.

The Good:

Embarkation - The smoothest of any cruise I have ever taken. The staff at the New Orleans VIP area was commendably professional and highly efficient in their jobs. The process was pleasant, speedy, and we truly felt like VIPs. They had our Sign & Sail cards ready, checked our passports, and greeted us by name. Once checked in, we were whisked to the front of the line and boarded in front of the rest of the passengers. Kudos to Robert and all the folks! Read more
