I was a little reluctant to book this cruise after reading a lot of reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. Out of 4 cruises with Carnival this was by far the best. A little smaller ship than the Magic or Conquest on which we sailed before. I thought the Triumph was clean tidy, and looked nicer than the others. I found it less crowded, shorter lines for food, and lots of choices of where to eat. Buffet food was good not great but it' a buffet and to be expected. Taco and burrito bar GREAT. Guys burger joint GREAT. We didn't dine in main dining room this trip as food options were adequate elsewhere. Good shows, great bands singing. WE really enjoyed this trip.
