This was our 5th cruise. All of our cruises have been with Carnival and we have always had a good experience. I can't say that this voyage was bad but it definately was not our favorite. I do chalk some of the disappointment to the weather which I know is out of anyone's control. However, overall the Triumph just did not meet my expectations compared to other ships we have been on.

Because of the bad weather, it would have been nice to have had some other activities to do while on board. It seemed like this ship had less activities planned and available. The last two days of the voyage are full days at sea and there just was not very much to do except gamble.

I also was not impressed with entertainment schedule. In past sailings they offered the main show, twice a night after each dining. The Triumph only had one show a day, usually at 10:30 and it competed with other late night acts such as the comedians etc. For us that was not too big of a deal as Carnival has not changed their Vegas style show since our last cruise two years ago.
