[edit] History
Carnival Triumph was completed and entered service in 1999.
[edit] Layout
Carnival Triumph has a "Great Cities of the World" theme. Her amenities include the Paris Dining Room, the London Dining Room, the Rome Lounge, Club Rio featuring music, and a workout center and the Spa Carnival. She is structurally identical to her sister ship, Carnival Victory, and differs from her class's namesake, Carnival Destiny, by the addition of extra balcony cabins on the Lido deck and various changes to placement and shapes of its public areas.
The ship has one of the first sea-going cellular systems which allow guests to use their own personal cellular phones to make calls directly from the ship at any time, called "Cellular at Sea".[4]
[edit] Service
Carnival Triumph currently sails 4 and 5 day voyages from Galveston, Texas to the Western Caribbean. It recently relocated from its former home port in New Orleans, Louisiana after a dry dock period. Carnival Fantasy, the previous ship sailing from New Orleans, now operates from Charleston, South Carolina.[5]. The current captain of Triumph is Angelo Los.[6]
