Rockjock64 Posted January 5, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2016 We have been on several cruises out of Florida and PR. Going to try NOLA this summer. Trying to choose between Dream snd Triumph. Suggestions either way are appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2excursion Posted January 5, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Dream is the newer & bigger ship. Both ships have great shows, but Dream's are the best in the entire Carnival fleet. Dream has 2 large & very different waterslides, plus smaller slides, & splash features; Triumph has 1 large waterslide plus an extra small pool. Dream has a bigger & better serenity area, plus the Cloud 9 Spa which Triumph doesn't have. Dream has an 18-hole mini golf course, Triumph's is 9 holes. Dream has a nice aft pool area that is open to the sea; Triumph's is more enclosed but that's because of the retractable roof. Triumph has Guys burgers (which is the only reason why some people take cruises:rolleyes:, although I think they are quite average burgers) & Blue Iguana cantina, while Dream has regular burgers & an unbranded burrito bar. Dream has the lanai BBQ & pasta bar for lunch which Triumph doesn't have. Dream has cove balconies & deluxe OV cabins. Even though the Dream is my favorite ship of all, I have also really enjoyed my 2 cruises on Triumph. 2 of my 3 favorite ships.

angiem0217 Posted January 5, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I have been on the Triumph twice and enjoyed both cruises. We sail on the Dream in March and I am really looking forward to it. It's a newer and larger ship. I think either way you go you will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockjock64 Posted January 5, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Thanks. We were on triumph few years ago before the upgrades with 2.0 and had a great time. Thinking Dream might b the way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted January 5, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Thanks.We were on triumph few years ago before the upgrades with 2.0 and had a great time. Thinking Dream might b the way to go Sounds like you know the answer then. To me, the choice between ships breaks down to newness and itinerary. Go Dream!

bakersdozen12 Posted January 6, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I haven't been on the Triumph, but I highly recommend the Dream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indytraveler83 Posted January 6, 2016 #10 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Also keep in mind itineraries here: The Dream has three different 7 day trips to choose from, visiting either 1) Bahamas or 2) Cozumel, Belize and Roatan or 3) Cozumel, Jamaica and Grand Cayman The Triumph is taking over Elations 4 and 5 day runs that visit either Cozumel or Cozumel and Progesso. Much better options on the Dream as far as itineraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
