A fire broke out March 21/ 2019 aboard the cruise ship Carnival Triumph during the dry dock in Cadiz, Spain. Workers evacuated !No injuries were reported ! That poor ship. Still full of bugs and bad luck at every turn. It needs an exorcism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maraprince Posted March 22, 2019 #52 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Why such negativity towards this ship? Don't get it. Sailed the ship when it was named Triumph more than once and enjoyed each sailing. Only complaint was that they kept the ship a little too cold for my taste.

MARAPRINCE Sunrise will come out looking new and fresh. Not to worry. The Triumph name just carries a lot of baggage because of a not so stellar history. It had a lot of bad luck sailing and in shipyards. Carnival is not the only line bitten by bad luck. Two cases: Grandeur of the Seas fire burned the back end off the ship. Freedom of the Seas caught fire and the idiots were up on deck live streaming while their ship was trying to burn to the water line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free robes and $500 helped, but they still had to catch flights back to their cars and homes. Their journey was not over. LOL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t Karoke and where the band plays in evenings on Ocean Way which is new and bigger, isn’t the Serenity area 3 levels bigger, isn’t the Havana area where there used to be a long ago swim up bar area new, isn’t adding the Steakhouse on 4 and the Piano bar on same floor new and bigger, isn’t having Jiji’s and Cucina which are new better, isn’t having a water park for the kids new? I guess it is all a matter of perspective. I respect yours... Not sure how their can be "perspective" on the square feet of an area... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it was an upper area, and they were close to port. On a newer ship. I wouldn't have been worrying a bit to be honest either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder if she was the Triumph or Sunrise when that fire broke out on March 21/ 2019. So when will she actually become Sunrise ? After the ceremony ?

I was a little bummed when I found out it was just the Triumph being updated. I liked the Triumph just fine but she was definitely showing her age. Yes, I was also sold a "brand new ship". I am sure 200 million is lots of changes but it is certainly not a horizon or a Mardi Gras. But like you, I really like the itinerary and it will be fine I am sure. I did book at a low price and did very little research, so I have no one to blame but myself . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tidecat Posted March 25, 2019 #75 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I guess the real question is when her registration was or will be updated with the Commonwealth of the Bahamas - ceremony or not, that’s when the real name change takes place. Presumably since a ship’s name is supposed to be displayed on the hull, the official change will happen prior to completion of the dry dock.
