[QUOTE="Danny Tanner, post: 2103859, member: 10619"] I was on the Triumph in July, my very first cruise. We heard complaints that the ship was old and run down, but when we got on it we didn't understand what everyone's problem was. It was a nice ship, kept clean, no holes in the walls, stains on the floor, or anything else. The only visible complaint that we actually did see was a small blacked out box on the big screen in the middle of the lido deck. Our room's bathroom was corral pink, which was another complaint, but this bothered us not one bit. If the Triumph is considered "worn down", then I'd love to see the other ships. Maybe my wife and I are easily impressed and don't expect much, especially considering the price, but we thought the ship, the crew and everything else about our vacation was amazingly perfect. Absolutely 0 complaints. The only thing I saw that I didn't like was one passenger who was bitching at a crew member because he (the passenger) was demanding he be able to use the crewman's passage to navigate to the opposite side of the ship instead of fighting the dining room crowd. Yes, let's break security policy because one guy paid a whopping $400 for his ticket and expects first-class, Titanic style attention. I understand that Carnival is an entry-level cruiseline, but they also seem to be the most party oriented, which is more our style. If we wanted champagne and caviar on the veranda, we would have went with a more upscale cruiseline. Instead, we wanted endless beer and conversation with middle-aged drunks who know how to have fun. Low-brow, perhaps, but like I said, we're easily impressed and demand nothing. Despite not being a first-class cruiseline, the staff aboard the Triumph treated my wife and I like royalty. I have a lot of respect for the crew having to deal with a ship full of people who expect the world in exchange for their tickets they paid peanuts for. I have no doubt in my mind that the crew is doing their best, given the current circumstances, in making the best of the situation. [/QUOTE]
