Ship: Truimph | Sail Date: 08/13/05 | Destination: Canada / New England

My wife Arleen and I are in our early 40's and have cruised every year for the last 7 years --Mostly on Carnival. Our third cruise was on the Triumph during her inaugeral year. We found it to be a well laid out and beautiful ship. Normally,I would select a ship I have not been on because we love the excitement of exploring and experiencing new and modern cruise ships. We selected the Triumph again because we wanted to experience the Nova Scotia ports. Much to our surprise and excitement, the Triumph looked as good it she did when we first cruised. Even better because the new bedding was in place, and yes it makes a difference! The great condition of the ship was a little surprising because the ship is due for a drydock in October for a complete refurbishment. I may abandon my policy of selecting new ships in favor of giving the Triumph a third try next summer!
