Eileenfa1 Posted August 12, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2015 It's been reported the AC out on the ship and its formal night. That would suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shecasper Posted August 12, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Worried.. we are sailing in 12 days. I know it will be fixed, but what other problems might arise? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailor_jimc Posted August 12, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I truly doubt the AC is out on the entire ship. There is more than one air con unit on a ship. Maybe a section of the ship but not the whole thing. This happened to us on the Freedom once. It was out in the casino and parts of deck 6 for a couple of hours....

okgirl Posted August 12, 2015 #14 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I was back on within a couple of hours and yes it was only some sections of the ship. And yes the Triumph has one formal night. Both the 4 and 5 day voyages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fzoeac Posted August 25, 2015 #16 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I just returned from the 4-Day on the Triumph. Talk about one of, no, THE worst cruise I have ever been on. The AC is in fact out intermittently on the boat. The ship is currently running on ONE engine (as confirmed by the Captain) and they are rotating which floors, rooms and sections get AC. This boat was a nightmare. After our experience I did what I should have done before and googled the ship. It is indeed what is known as the "poop cruise". It is the same ship that was stranded in the middle of the gulf not so long ago. Full review to come in a new thread. There is a lot to be said.

Nothing. I've been on the Triumph twice since that incident and I think she's one of the cleanest best running ships in the fleet. #3 booked in April from NOLA. I'm sure the problem was fixed. Move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fzoeac Posted August 25, 2015 #19 Share Posted August 25, 2015 We were two hours behind schedule to Cozumel and back to port. I thought we were supposed to stop and sit like you typically do on the Ensenada cruises, but we were hauling tail the entire time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a matter of move on, but I can appreciate the sentiment of defense from previous cruisers. She was actually quite filthy. Many of the cruisers went without AC mostly on the 7th and 2nd floors. The casino was in and out and the Paris dining room was often rotated as well. The New Pool was unbearable most times. Speaking of filth, the floors were so slick and greasy that a woman slipped and broke her back and was medivaced from the boat on the last night. She was completely immobilized from her fall. Our cruise left from Galveston. The connection from AC not running is due to the broken or damaged engines which caused the previous breakdown which lead to the systems overflowing. So in the end, it does have to do with it. I'm happy to hear you had a fantastic experience. I genuinely wish we had the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the previous problems was a hose going into a generator that caught fire which was then unable to generate power to run the engines....what did broken or damaged engines have to do with anything. Am I missing something here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How were you hauling tail on one engine and lack of power caused by generator failure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallFour4 Posted August 25, 2015 #23 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) The connection from AC not running is due to the broken or damaged engines which caused the previous breakdown which lead to the systems overflowing. So in the end, it does have to do with it. Not to challenge you on the post, but this is incorrect information. No engines were "broke" or "damaged" in the fire aboard the Triumph. A line failure resulted in the fire that damaged the engine control room. The actual engines were not damaged. Once the ship went to drydock a completely new control room was engineered and installed. I've seen the one in the Glory and the Triumph post repair and the Triumph was nicer. Also, what looks like a container at the aft base of the whale tale is another generator. The ship has 4 generators and two electric engines. Electric power for the engines comes from the generators. We've been aboard the Triumph 6 times since the fire, and the ship has been clean. It did enter service in 1999; so it isn't the most modern in the fleet, but the inspection reports have been good. Sorry you had a bad cruise, surprised none of this made our local news here in Houston/Galveston. Assuming you debarked yesterday, and if so the ship sailed again for a 5 day after you left. .

fzoeac Posted August 25, 2015 #24 Share Posted August 25, 2015 How were you hauling tail on one engine and lack of power caused by generator failure? I don't know anything about generator failure. I can only repeat what the captain confirmed and what I experienced. What I meant about hauling tail is going as fast as we could...which was not very fast...and the ship shuddered nearly the entire way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the extensive explanation on how the engines work. It appears that whatever was fixed in 1999 either isn't working or something else (other than the engines as the Captain said possibly to simplify the issue and put in layman's terms) is an issue. I would think that in the next few days, more confirmations will come through as to ac being out on entire floors and other issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
