If "value for your money" is a priority, choose this cruise ship. If you have a different priority, look elsewhere.
This was my third cruise. I've exclusively sailed on Carnival. Triumph was a disappointment. There was an ever-present mildew smell. There were constantly fans running to try and dry wet areas on board - mostly in the hallways outside staterooms.
The service was lack-luster - but not bad.
Dated design and color scheme. It was a disappointment, but was clean.
The New Orleans terminal was uncomfortable, crowded, and felt like a cattle call.
