Would you ever sail on the Triumph after what has happened.

[Arizona Laura]

You could never get the Triumph clean enough that I would cruise on her. They could never get to every nook and cranny.

[Traveller20074]

nope.

 

 

 

 

Or, any other Carnival ship, for that matter.

[SeeJennyCruise]

Yes, we were booked for next week and we are still booked for Labor Day.

[Cruisin' Cool CAT]

I'd have no problem going on the very first sailing. :)

 

I feel the same way!

 

We are actually booked on her May 11th and I really hope she's ready by then!

[lucky13elec]

Yes!! The Triumph has had her problem.

I sailed on the Celebration twice after her fire.

[lbcruisers]

Funny! The Splendor IS the Costa Condordia's Sister!!!:D

 

 

We are about to sail on Splendor, whose troubles were worse, because a bucket-list cruise came available at a good price. If some sequence of unlikely miracles brings Costa Concordia back into the fleet offering a cheap cruise out of Seattle to Hong Kong we'd book in an instant. Same parameters for Triumph.

[kruzns4me]

they sanitized her from head to toe - or should I say stem to stern! There are alot of very bad germ swimming around on that ship right now and alot of nooks and crannies for them to hide in and alot of mattresses that were taken up on deck that got rained on so I am hoping that they take the time and money and do things right and then yes - I would!

[Gary&Rox]

Yes. Did B2B last Sept. Booked B2B again for this Sept. She should be one of the best ships in the fleet with all eyes in the cruising world watching.

[djcass4199]

Heck yeah! We will actually be looking at the prices of cruises on the Triumph maybe in october or november to see if the prices come down from where they are. I told my spouse this evening that if it gets in to the $250s, I will book!

I don't stop riding my 32 year old harley every time it breaks down, I rebuild the engine, or whatever else went bad, and go back out on her. Machines break down, but they can be rebuilt, and repaired back to perfectly functioning status.

No, I'd never sail on Carnival regardless of what happened! We are Emerald status on RCCL, and love it - for good reason! I've always thought of Carnival as low-end and sub-standard. Also for good reason.

[kj2121]

Never have, never would sail on Carnival. Have always thought of it as sub-standard. Have compared pics and experiences among friends who have, and no thanks. We've always sailed RCCL - Emerald status or Princess. Vacation is meant to be fabulous, and I just don't feel Carnival is up to par with all the other choices out there.

[evandbob]

was on Triumph in '06 I believe, it has rust back then.....

[fireman10535]

Not only would I said on her .... I would board the day she comes out of drydock, I refuse to live my life in fear of what MIGHT happen. I read some of the posts and I wonder how some people even work up the courage to leave the house

[Jenny in TX]

I'd have no problem going on the very first sailing. :)

 

Me too! We are already talking about taking the first cruies after she is repaired. We figure everything will be brand new and its the best time to sail on her. Plus we might get a good deal!

[I <3 To Cruise]

I would totally sail on her after they make the repairs! Thousands have sailed on Splendor after it had gone through the same thing!! I haven't seen any complaints about mold or smells on that ship.

 

However, next time I cruise I will definitely think about things I should pack, that I might not have thought of before...yay for overpacking!! :)

And this person logged into CC for the first time in 3 years to troll on the Carnival thread and double post. Love it!

 

Please go to your little RCCL board. You'll be much happier there.

[The4Cruisers]

I'd sail on her. She'll probably be cleaned thoroughly, have carpets replaced, and have bedding / linens replaced as well.

[luv cruising 007]

Yes I will!!! Ship happens! This mishap can happen TO ANY CRUISELINE, no cruise line is the "golden child & perfect"

[CWcruisers]

You need to eat some dirt in your life.

 

I never get sick. I don't get a flu shot, I don't use hand sanatizer, but I drink lots of red wine because they say it's good for me!:p

Isint someone precious! Fires can happen & have on RCCL! Hmm according to most travel sites & experts CCL & RCCL are head to head competitors like chevy & ford! Sorry to burst bubbles but RCCL isint the bentley of cruises, or even close RCCL is a mass market cruiseline, a ford or chevy just like CCL is!

[airmj2123]

I would sail if price was right... I wouldn't book the first couple of voyages for the fact that drydocks/repairs sometimes fall behind schedule... I don't want to deal with that... (I would get on the first voyage if I could walk on the day it arrives in port and didn't have to book any in advance).

[Spaniel Lover]

Ask yourself if they've sold the Splendor after the November 2010 fire. They had the same situation... no toilets and all that... and all they had to do was fix the ship up in drydock (it took about three months, I think) and put it back in service.

 

In fact, the Splendor today is such a huge asset to Carnival that it's about to become the newest big deal in New York City... where it will sail full on every cruise, I'm sure.

 

They didn't sell the Splendor, or transfer it over to one of their affiliated cruise lines... they didn't even re-name it. So, that should give you a pretty good idea of what they'll do with the Triumph.

[readytotravel44]

Absolutely!

[mechcc]

Sailed it before and it has the best crew we ever had on a Carnival cruise. Once the mechanical problems are fixed, it will be good to go.
