Carnival Cruise Lines' 102,000-ton, 2,758-passenger Carnival Triumph has a number of new features that represent the culmination of Carnival's two-decade-long evolutionary - and revolutionary - shipbuilding program. Changes are most clearly apparent on Carnival Triumph's expansive Lido Deck - an open-air recreation and entertainment complex where guests relax poolside. They include more open space for deck chairs than any other Carnival ship, Continent and New World pools fore and aft bordered by "wading" areas a few inches deep, and a larger swimming area created by eliminating the swim-up bars found on sister ship, Carnival Destiny. Flowing fountains and statues crafted by South Florida sculptor Susana Holt add elegant new touches to the pool area, as does a graceful, winding staircase leading to upper decks. The big stage adjacent to the main Continent pool is even bigger than the one on Carnival Destiny, and it has been reconfigured to allow more space for guests at deck parties, and to make the pool deck more open and visually appealing. Another modification is the placement of a small performance stage aft on Lido Deck near the New World pool.
