Is the Carnival Triumph a good ship to go on?

Question

We are going on a cruise on the Carnival Triumph. I know the ship is about 9 years old (built in 1999). How is it holding up? What can a 14 year old do? Are there basketball courts??

Answer 1

The ship is fantastic, we were on it 2 years ago and its what got my daughter hooked on cruising. Shes 13 now and has so many things to do on cruises there isnt enough time to do them all. There are not full size courts but there is a netted in area the you can atleast shoot baskets in, they also have ping pong and mini golf. There is a club for teens your age with age appropirate activities that you can pick and choose, have fun

Answer 2

THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS TO DO ON A CRUISE.  SAYING THAT IF YOUR DAUGHTER IS OUTGOING AND CAN MAKE FRIENDS FAST AND EASY SHE WILL HAVE A GOOD TIME.  MY DAUGHTER LIKES GOING ON CRUISES BUT WHEN SHE CAN TAKE A FRIEND BECAUSE THAT WAY SHE CAN GO INTO THE TEEN CLUBS AND ENJOY HERSELF.  MY SON HATES IT BECAUSE HE DOES NOT MAKE FRIENDS THAT EASY, BUT HAS ALWAYS IN THE END ENJOYED BECAUSE HE GETS TO PLAY BASKETBALL, PING PONG AND OTHER THINGS.  HE ALSO CATHCES UP ON HIS SLEEP WHE THE SHIP IS OUT TO SEA ALL DAY.  BYTHE WAY MY SON IS 17 AND MY DAUGHTHER IS 16 BUT THEY HAVE BEEN CRUISING SINCE THEY WERE 5 AND 6 YEARS OLD.
