Carnival Triumph
The Carnival Triumph was built in 1999, but has several of Carnival's modern amenities, features, and programs. Currently, the Carnival Triumph sails 4 & 5 night cruises from New Orleans. In spring 2019, the Carnival Triumph will be refitted and renamed to the Carnival Sunrise. This tour will be archived following the re-name, but the ship's layout will be changing when the ship is sent to dry-dock. A Carnival Sunrise self-guided ship tour will be posted at a later time.
The Carnival Triumph is an easy ship to navigate, especially once cruisers get to know the ship. This self guided tour is meant to be a tool to help you familiarize yourself with the ship’s layout. Many of the ship’s public areas are included in this tour. Please keep in mind, especially on the cruise’s first day, some lounges or places may be closed for various reasons including events such as wedding receptions and other private functions. If something is closed and you wanted to look in that area, consider trying again at another time. I recommend moving to the next part of the tour. The tour works best if followed in order.
This tour is not affiliated with any cruise line, ship, travel agency, or travel group. If you find any errors, problems, or areas without clarity please let me know. I want to make this tour as accurate & helpful as possible so please let me know of any problems! Also, please keep in mind the ship's areas are subject to change!

Carnival Triumph's Atrium Lobby Bar
|
Starting Point:
To begin this self guided tour go to the Carnival Triumph's atrium lobby, which is on the Lobby Deck (deck 3). The official name of the atrium is the Capitol Atrium. 1. Capitol Atrium Lobby – Lobby Deck 3 This tour begins in the Carnival Triumph's Capitol Atrium Lobby by the atrium bar. Look up and you will see the many levels of the atrium as well as the glass dome located near the top. The Carnival Triumph's atrium has four glass elevators. In the center of the atrium is the atrium bar. Two important areas that you can see here are the Guest Services desk and the Shore Excursions desk. If you look towards the glass elevators, you will see the atrium lobby bar by the elevators. In that direction, on Deck 3, is the way you would walk to go to the Deck 3 level of the Rome Lounge. The Rome Lounge is the Carnival Triumph's main show lounge, which is where events and production shows often happen. In the opposite direction, you will see the Deck 3 entrance to the Carnival Triumph's London Dining Room. The Carnival Triumph has two main dining rooms and each one is two decks. The dining room and floor a cruiser is assigned to will be printed on his or Sail & Sign cards. On both sides of the atrium you will see doors that lead to an outside deck. This area is directly under the lifeboats and it is a great place to look outside. |
Change Deck: Once you have spotted all of these places it is time to change decks. This tour recommends using one of the glass elevators or the stairwell that is in the atrium. The front elevator area is also close nearby and you can use those too. Go up one deck level to Deck 4.
2. Atlantic Deck - Deck 4
Deck 4 Overview: The Atlantic Deck, which is deck 4, is directly above the Lobby Deck (3) and below the Promenade Deck (5). This deck has no guest staterooms. At the front of this deck a cruiser will find the second level of the Rome Lounge, which is the ship's main show lounge. Around the atrium is the ship's photo gallery and the entrance to the Washington Library. In the middle of this deck is the Oxford Bar as well as the second floor of the Carnival Triumph's other dining room, known as the Paris Dining Room.

Touring This Deck: Once you are on Deck 4, I recommend circling the atrium. As you circle the atrium you will be in the ship's photo gallery, known as Pixels.
|
As you walk around the atrium you will see the entrance to the Washington Library. If you are able, take a quick look inside. Typically, the ship's library has some books, board games, and puzzles.
In the atrium, near the Washington Library, you should see an area cut-out for the London Dining Room's entrance. Continue walking into the London Dining Room's Deck 4 level. When you enter the dining room you should see a host station and many tables throughout the entire dining room. Pick a side to walk in and head to the back of the dining room. As you walk out the other side of the dining room you will see the mid-ship elevator area. Keep walking and to your left you will see a hallway that curves some. Walk down that hallway! |

After walking in this hallway, you dead-end into the Oxford Bar. The Oxford Bar is sometimes used for events and activities. It has a complete bar area that is open at select times. For the purposes of this tour, continue walking through the Oxford Bar. After you exit the Oxford Bar you will be in a mini-atrium area known as the World Hall. In addition, you will also see the entrance to the Deck 4 level of the Paris Dining Room. The Paris Dining Room is the Carnival Triumph's other main dining room.
Change Deck: When you are done looking around this area go to the nearest elevator or stairwell. You are at the back elevator and stairwell area. Take the elevator or walk the stairs up one deck. This will take you to the Promenade Deck, which is Deck 5.

3. Promenade Deck - Deck 5
Deck 5 Overview: The Promenade Deck (5) is directly above the Atlantic Deck (4), but below the Upper Deck (6). Essentially, the Promenade Deck has many of the ship's public spaces, lounges, and bars. Our tour will start at the back of the Promenade Deck and at the ending of touring this deck you should be at or near the front of the deck. Some of the main areas on this deck (in no particular order) are the Alchemy Bar,Club Monaco Casino,Club Rio Aft Lounge, Venezia Lounge, Big Easy Piano Bar, Hollywood Dance Club, Vienna Cafe, Internet Cafe, Cherry On Top, Skybox Sports Bar, and The Fun Shops.,

Touring This Deck: Once you take the elevator or stairs up one deck, you will be on Deck 5. Find World Hall mini atrium area of Deck 5, which should be right back the back elevators and stairwell. When the tour was on Deck 4, you probably saw the Paris Dining Room, but on the Deck 5 level of this area you will see the Big Easy Piano Bar, Club Rio Aft Lounge, and the Venezia.
a) First let's go into the Club Rio AFT Lounge. This area is typically used for the comedies and karaoke. If you step inside this area you will see a stage, several areas to sit, and a bar at the back of the lounge. This lounge is located at the very back (aft) of the Promenade Deck. b) Next, walk into the Venezia, which is located right by the Club Rio AFT Lounge. This lounge is small, but is sometimes used for activities. c) After walking out of the Venezia Lounge, directly across the way you should see an entrance to the Big Easy Piano Bar. Walk towards the piano bar and go inside. Inside the Big Easy Piano Bar, you will see places to sit and a big piano in the center of the room. When you exit the piano bar, do not head back into the World Hall mini-atrium. Instead, start walking towards the front of the ship. If you are heading in the right direction, almost instantly you will see the side of the Hollywood Dance Club on your right and the Alchemy Bar on your left. |

When you see the Alchemy Bar, take a second to pause. The Alchemy Bar is a Fun Ship 2.0 feature that was added to the Carnival Triumph in 2013. Cruisers that visit the Alchemy Bar can have a custom cocktail or beverage mixed for them.
When you continue walking you will see you are in a large walkway that has seating on one side (by the windows) and entrances to lounges and places on your left. This large walkway is known as the World's Way Promenade. Here are some of the areas you will come across in order as you begin walking towards the front of the Promenade Deck. As you walk feel free to step into these areas to get a better look! Hint: As you walk towards the front, all of these areas should be on your left. On your right should be windows that look outside.

Once you have reached the front of the Promenade walkway you will be in the Carnival Triumph's atrium. Walk around the the atrium on this deck level. You will see the Skybox Sports Bar, Cherry on Top, and the Fun Shops. If you walk from left to right you will see these places in this order:
a) Cherry On Top - Cherry On Top sells candies, sweets, and specialty gifts.
b) Skybox Sports Bar - This is the Carnival Triumph's Sports Bar. Inside the sports bar is one large bar counter, several big screens, a long marquee that displays game scores, and a few other places to sit.
c) Fun Shops - These are actually on both sides of the atrium, but if you walk from left to right the tour will only take you by one side of the shops.
When you have reached the area by the glass elevators or front elevators/stairwell it is time to change decks!

This tour does not include Deck 6, Deck 7, or Deck 8 because these decks consist of staterooms.

4. Lido Deck - Deck 9
Deck 9 Overview: The Lido Deck (9) is directly above the Verandah Deck (8) and below the Panorama Deck (11). The front part of the Lido Deck consists of staterooms, but the middle and back are filled with public areas.
Touring This Deck: After you get off your glass elevator, front elevator, or the stairs, walk into the atrium area of the Lido Deck and start walking towards the back of the ship. If you walk into a stateroom hallway you are deviating from this tour! After walking through the atrium you will come to a sliding glass door that leads to the main Lido pool area.
As you step outside into the main pool area, the first thing you should see is the main pool. If you look up you will see the Carnival Triumph's SeaSide Theater and funnel above. The SeaSide Theater is used for showing TV shows, movies, and broadcasting poolside activities. As you continue to walk forward you will see the main pool. On the left side of the main pool (assuming you are facing the SeaSide Theater) you will see the Blue Iguana Tequila Bar and on the right you will see the Red Frog Rum Bar.

For the purposes of this tour walk on the right side of the main pool. You will pass by the ship's towel station and Red Frog Rum Bar. Continue heading towards the back of the ship.
As you get closer to the other side of the deck, you will begin to see the buffet. On this side of the ship you will see the Blue Iguana Cantina. The Blue Iguana Cantina serves tacos and burritos at lunch, but at breakfast serves breakfast burritos. Outside of the Blue Iguana Cantina you will see a salsa bar that has a variety of salsa flavors a cruiser can add to his or her taco food.
Tour Note: We are not going to walk on the other side of the buffet, but on the direct opposite side of the Blue Iguana Cantina is Guy's Burger Joint. Guy's Burger Joint serves a variety of different hamburgers. At Guy's Burger Joint you will also be able to get fries and enjoy toppings from the Toppings Bar.
Continue walking past the Blue Iguana Cantina and walk into the inside part of the buffet.
Once you are inside you will be in the Carnival Triumph's main Lido buffet, which is called the South Beach Club. Continue walking towards the back of the ship. As you walk towards the back you will pass by the ship's deli, buffet lines, and at least one drink station.
Continue walking towards the back and when you get to a single sliding glass door, walk outside. As you keep walking you will see more tables. Walk until you see the pizzeria on your left and a bar directly in front you. When you are in this area, you have reached the aft pool. This area has more pool, hot-tub, and deck chair space. One feature of this back area is that a retractable roof can open or close over the pool. For this tour, turn left by the pizzeria and walk to the opposite side of the ship. You will see a counter called the "Seafood Shack". This venue costs extra, but serves lobster rolls and other seafood items for a small fee. After you see this area turn-around and walk in the sliding glass doors that are in the middle of the area. You will find yourself in the back (aft) elevator/stairwell area.

5. Panorama Deck - Deck 10
Deck 10 Overview: The Panorama Deck (10) is directly above the Lido Deck (9) and below the Spa Deck (11). The front part of the Panorama Deck consists of staterooms. The middle of this deck consists of deck space. At the middle-back area of the Panorama Deck is the second level of Rosie's Lido Buffet. The second deck level of the buffet has additional seating and a drink station, but there are no food buffet lines located on this level of the South Beach Club.
Touring This Deck: After you get off the elevator or stairwell, do not walk directly outside. Instead, on both sides of the stairwell look for the inside entrance into the second level of the South Beach Club. There is no food buffet line on this deck, but there is a drink station on one side. Find the nearest exit to an outside deck and step outside. If you see the ship's retractable roof you are looking at the back of the ship. Walk the other way (towards the ship's front).
As you walk to the front, you should pass a stairwell that goes up to Deck 11. This would take you to the Carnival Triumph's jogging track. This tour will not be include going up to the jogging track. Furthermore, from Deck 11 you can access a Deck 12 space that is right by the ship's funnel.
Continue walking towards the front of the ship. You will pass by the main Lido Deck pool and deck areas below. Look for two doors (near the ship's waterslide landing) that will take you inside. When you walk inside you will see a stateroom hallway on one side, but on the other is front elevators / stairwell area.

8. SPA Deck - Deck 11 (Front Part)
Deck 11 Overview: The SPA Deck (11) is directly above the Panorama Deck (10) and below the Sun Deck (12). This deck is split into two parts. The front part of the deck consists of the SPA, gym, and some staterooms, but the middle/back part consists of the ship's jogging track (that this tour did not include). The Carnival Triumph's Camp Ocean youth facilities are also located on this deck. Touring This Deck: Once you get up to Deck 11 you will be on the front part of the deck. This tour does not officially include a stop in the SPA or gym, but you should see the entrance to these areas from the front stairwell/elevator area. If you wish to go into the gym, you will have to walk through a locker room to get there. The men's locker room is on one side and the women's is on the other. Pick the locker room that corresponds with your gender and walk all the way through. You will come to the gym. When you leave you will just need to go back through the door that go you into the gym, which means you have to walk through the locker room to get out. The Camp Ocean youth program facilities are located on this deck as well. On both sides of the entrance to the SPA you will find a narrow hallway that leads to the Camp Ocean entrances. Camp Ocean is the youth program for 2-11 old children. Since this tour does not actually include the SPA or Gym, continue from the elevator/stairwell area up one deck. |
Hallway Leading To Camp Ocean Entrance

Change Deck: Take the stairwell up to Deck 12, which is the Sun Deck. You will find yourself on the front portion of Deck 12. I think there is an accessible elevator for those that need assistance that goes from Deck 11 to Deck 12.
Mini Golf Course
|
9. Sun Deck - Deck 12
Deck 12 Overview: The Sun Deck (12) is directly above the SPA Deck (11) and below the Sky Deck (14). The front area of this deck is home to Club 02 and Circle C. Also, the Carnival Triumph's mini golf course is located on this deck. Touring This Deck: Once you are on Deck 12 you will see a very short hallway that leads to the entrances for Club 02 and Circle C. Club 02 is Carnival's youth program for 15-17 year olds and Circle C is Carnival's youth program for 12-14 year olds. The entrances to these two lounges are right next to each other. From the stairwell area you will see doors on each side that lead to the outside. One one side you will find the Carnival Triumph's mini golf course. Typically, the mini golf clubs and balls can be found at the course and do not require check-out (unless policies have changed). |
Deck 14 is the highest deck of the ship. However, I am not going to include that deck on this tour. On Deck 14, you will find the entrance to the ship's waterslide.
