Is the Bar-B-Que included, or an upcharge? Thanks!!!:cool:

Also - I am still looking for the new American Table Menu for the Triumph - anybody out there have a copy or know where I can look? Zydeco does not have the most current.... Thanks!!! :)

Is the $20 upgrade lobster just a lobster tail or a whole lobster? If it is just a tail, what kind of weight - 8 oz? The ones on the old menu were 3-4 oz...:rolleyes:

I REALLY need a copy of this menu! I am sailing with some friends who have only had the "old" menu & I NEEED to let them know what o expect - they cruise primarily for the food & I am SO afraid they are going to be disappointed with the new menu, let alone that there will be no Lobster on elegant night... PLEASE help me!!! :(

:confused:

Does anyone have a copy... Thanks!!!

:)

We are on the 11-30-15 cruise out of Galveston on the Triumph. Does anyone know if the menu has changed to the American Table? If not, does anyone know when it will? Thanks!!!:)

My first cruise too!!! That's what got me hooked!!! :)

On my next cruise, I am bringing a bottle of Luzianne "Pour-N-Stir" Sweet Tea to the dining room - just mix with a glass of ice water for perfect brewed ice tea taste! Take a couple of sips of your water first, then add a few drops to taste... :)

We have sailed in Triumph's 2456 & 2457 & love them for their size - they are all the way aft. Look at Conquest cabins 2470-2474 & 2473-2475 on the Main deck. They look to be of similar configuration.

The only drawback is their is some noice & vibration on when docking - that is where the anchors are located. But on port days, most of us are up early to go into port for the day.

Love having the extra space & the view of the wake is spectacular! Good luck!!!

11 - just waiting for Thursday to start out "single digit dancing"!!!;)

Even though we are only 1 hour from the Port of Galveston, we ALWAYS drive down the day before the cruise, stop at Pappas Seafood off I-45 S at Webster, and have a nice lunch. Then drive down to Galveston, check into our hotel, grab a trolly down to the Strand, and enjoy the afternoon. Back to the hotel, and a light dinner & bedtime.

Catch the shuttle to the Port, and board as soon as we can. Take the required boarding photos, & to Lido for the first DOD and some lunch. Wait for cabins to be opened & settle in. Go back to Lido for sail away!!! 13 days out, and cannot wait!!! :p

13 days - can't wait to do the single digit dance!!!:cool:

Does anyone have any reviews and photos of these 2 balcony cabins? Thanks!!!

Does anyone know if there are fridges on Triumph balcony cabins?

So glad to hear - I was more worried about not having a good view, than the location. I have cruised all the way forward to all the way aft, & while I prefer aft, no problems with anything in between - thanks for the reassurance!!!:cool:

This is my 10th Carnival cruise, but my first balcony - in the past I have always gone oceanview (mainly for the price). But they ran a Halloween sale, and a balcony cabin was pretty much the same as my favorite oceanview cabin (an oversized aft cabin), so I went for it. BUT... they get to pick the cabin!!!

Then I panicked - I LOVE my Triumph 2457 cabin - love to watch the ship's wake, & the cabin is HUGE. Turned into one of those "OMG -what did I do" moments!

Has anyone had a really CRAPPY balcony cabin? If so, HOPEFULLY we won't get it!!! Thanks for any comments!!!

Are there any "bad" ones? Obstructed? Noisy? Any comments would be helpful! Thanks!!!

The Flamin' Tomato soup is excellent, as is the Steak & Eggs. The Bloody Mary's are the BEST I have ever had & I am a Bloody Mary ADDICT!!! Don't miss the brunch - it is great!!!:p

We LOVE this cabin! I have sailed on it 3 times, and on our next Triumph cruise 12-6, it was already booked, so we went next door to the starboard side & booked 2457. It is HUGE - lots of floor space. We had a meet & greet in it on one cruise & it held 5 couples comfortably (standing & sitting on the small sofa & chair). Love to watch the wake of the ship out of the window.

The downside - it is in the far aft of the ship, and you will hear noise & feel the vibration when we pull into port, but by that time, we are starting to get up & around to eat breakfast in the dining room (which is SO MUCH BETTER than the cattle car on the Lido deck). You can have a relaxing breakfast, go back to your cabin & get ready to go on shore. You will NOT be disappointed - SO much better than an inside cabin, no matter where it is located!

Calm seas, warm sun, good drinks & much fun hoped for your cruise!!!

I like brunch - I like to sleep in until about 9:00, and by the time I'm up, showered & dressed for the day, it's nice to stroll into brunch. Plus, I LOVE the steak & eggs & the roasted tomato soup. I have that, and then have a snack about 3:00 and I am good to go for early seating dinner!

This is my favorite time to cruise as well. As far as the number of children - got to remember - a LOT of parents home school now. I asked quite a few of the parents on my last 12/2013 cruise , and they all said their children were home schooled. I found them to be a lot better behaved, and respectful towards adults as the children on the cruise I took in June...

Yes, they do! I even personally "Built a Bear" for Carnival's St. Jude charity drive for my Grand Daughter for her birthday present in December last year. The have a variety of animals, from bears, seals, monkeys, and the one I did = an Alaskan Husky!!!

I would ABSOLUTELY buy more if they were less expensive! They just cost too much for me to justify buying them. Wish Carnival would listen to these boards, lower the prices, and make themselves some more money than what they make now off the photos!

Celebration from Galveston, 2001. It was our 3 year anniversary!
