Ceece911 Posted July 1, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 1, 2009 So, I have been reading reviews about the Triumph and the main complaint I see is about the buffet lines. Well, I can deal with lines and I know to avoid peak times. The thing that I'm wondering about is the seating. Will I have to walk around for 20 minutes trying to find a spot to sit? I have only been on 2 cruises, the Holiday and Fantasy. My biggest problem with the Holiday was that it was hard to find a seat once we had our food, a problem we didn't have on the Fantasy. There were plenty of seating. So, does the Triumph have ample seating? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurbanfan Posted July 1, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 1, 2009 If the buffet is crowded we always have one of us get a table and we take turns in line for food......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgmigs Posted July 1, 2009 #3 Share Posted July 1, 2009 note that the hours are somewhat limited compared to other buffets. it always seemed crowded to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NLuvWthCruisn Posted July 1, 2009 #5 Share Posted July 1, 2009 We always found a seat with no problem. Just the one's looking out to the ocean was a little harder to get. When I was there it was my first cruise so I didn't realize there was a buffet inside as well. So first day and next day during breakfast I had a hard time finding a table on lido outiside area. But after discovering the door that goes inside. No problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgmigs Posted July 1, 2009 #6 Share Posted July 1, 2009 But were you easily able to find somewhere to seat? seating was not as big an issue. there is also an small upstairs area to sit but be careful, the staircase is a bit long and steep and i fell once with my tray trying to go up the stairs, food flew everywhere, tray in one hand and holding onto the rail with my other hand.

Upandadam Posted July 1, 2009 #7 Share Posted July 1, 2009 In our two times on the Triumph, we've never had a problem finding places to sit, whereas we have on other ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted July 1, 2009 #8 Share Posted July 1, 2009 We have always found seating in the two times aboard the ship. Sometimes we have to look a bit and sometimes go outside but not a big deal to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintercruiser1 Posted July 1, 2009 #10 Share Posted July 1, 2009 We also never had a problem finding a seat....... I Love the Triumph!!! Can't wait to go again! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 1, 2009 #11 Share Posted July 1, 2009 You can always sit with others at a table,....but the dining room is so much nicer than the buffet, we eat there when we can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrateslife4me84 Posted July 1, 2009 #12 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Also never had a problem finding seating. The problem is that the buffet is poorly designed--they actually have more than ample seating for everyone, they just didn't set up the buffet lines as well as they could have.

JaniceB Posted July 1, 2009 #13 Share Posted July 1, 2009 We did not have a hard time finding a seat. I always found a table in the aft area near the pool and the back of the ship. Janice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maraprince Posted July 1, 2009 #14 Share Posted July 1, 2009 There is seating in the immediate area of the buffet lines as well as seating outside in the very back. You may not always find a seat right in the middle of the buffet area, but be willing to go a little further out and you can get a seat.

Captain'sgirl Posted July 2, 2009 #15 Share Posted July 2, 2009 The buffet on the Triumph was the most crowded I have ever seen on any ship, and I have been on 30+ cruises. Good news is that you can usually find somewhere to sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJacketsFan1 Posted July 2, 2009 #16 Share Posted July 2, 2009 When my wife and I sailed on the Triumph we never really had much problems in the buffet. Maybe things have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
