Carnival Triumph returns to Galveston

The Carnival Triumph after a engine fire this past February is back in Galveston.  Today company officials say the nearly 900-foot Carnival Triumph departs Thursday from Galveston on a sold-out cruise to Mexico.  The Triumph underwent $115 million in repairs and upgrades. Work was done in Alabama and at a dry dock in Freeport, Bahamas. The ship returned to Galveston on Tuesday.  

After speaking to several of our Carnival customers they told us they would sail on the Triumph again, one guest commented "that the ship is probably in better shape now than when it was built in 1999"

We look forward booking customer on the Triumph after $115 million upgrade!

For the benefit of those who are packing their appetites, let's start with BlueIguana Cantina, our taco and burrito hot-spot. (Or mild-spot, if that's more your style.) Burger lovers should direct their taste buds to Guy's Burger Joint, where they'll be delighted by original burgers and fries designed by the guy himself, celebrity Guy Fieri.

Cruisers thirsting for something a little different will be well-served by our new bar lineup, including Alchemy Bar, where highly-trained bartenders "prescribe" custom cocktails made with exotic, unexpected ingredients and compelling flavors. EA SPORTS Bar will satisfy your thirst as well as your taste for competition, featuring live scores, televised sporting events and the lifelike action of popular EA SPORTS video game titles. The friendly-rivals RedFrog Rum Bar and BlueIguana Tequila Bar let you choose colors, sides, and favorite cocktail ingredients... but both promise a little something cool to enjoy in the sun.

Carnival Triumph features onboard spaces inspired by cities from all four corners of the world. Experience delicious coffees, cakes, cookies and pastries at Vienna CafĂ©, encounter beach-casual fare at The South Beach Club, or explore a multi-course meal at London or Paris Dining Rooms. You’ll have your choice of spots for a drink, whether you find Hollywood Dance Club or the old-continent charm of Oxford Bar more your scene. And nobody can resist getting down to the New Orleans-style jazz of The Big Easy Bar! 

Kids will have an onboard, onscreen blast at Underground Tokyo video arcade, and even more age-appropriate fun at one of three supervised youth spaces. Kids young and old will love sinking putts at the mini-golf course, and everyone becomes a kid by simply splashing into one of Carnival Triumph’s pools.
