I dont recall the difference in the two ships but just wanted to say that I believe the holiday out of Nola in 2002 was our first cruise. We haven’t stopped since, we go at least once or twice a year. I do know that when we first cruised, we had the midnight buffet, no longer. Also, there used to be hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, chili dogs and cheesesteak served at the aft pool. Now there is a deli that serves some of those things. Your sail and sign card will already have the hole punched. I used to carry a single hole punch for that reason. Even if you are on a five day, no lobster in mdr for free but they do serve a very nice shrimp dish in its place with broiled jumbo shrimp. The port area at Cozumel is totally redone is the other thing I remember. Not sure if the hub app is on the triumph but I think it is. Anyway, replaces the fun times but you need to download before you sail away. If you log in now, it will give your cruise countdown. We went on triumph last in 2015 and have sailed her many times from Galveston. Have fun.

I really enjoyed the Triumph, but I missed the MDR waiters dancing around each night, besides on just elegant night. I also missed the food show that was presented on the Holiday on the last night (food carvings/sculptures and ice sculptures). The Hub app works great on the Triumph and the chat feature allowed my family and myself to get ahold of each other. Also, the port in Cozumel was really nice, a lot different from 2002 when I was there last.

They still do Big Easy? Loved that show! Need to go back before they go to dry dock!

I loved the Big Easy show with the live band, so glad I got to see it before Triumph becomes the Sunrise.

Have a great trip! Come back and tell us all your new favorite things - I'm on Triumph in September, and so excited!

Thanks! I will try to post some pictures and review my experience.

The first time I have ever cruised was in June 2002 on the Holiday out of NOLA. I am cruising out of NOLA on July 26 on the Triumph. I know the ship is a lot larger than the Holiday, but what are the main differences that I will experience since it has been 16 years since I have cruised?
