Well this is a little confusing. The Triumph is a Carnival ship, not a RCL ship. You mention Galveston/Houston and Port Canaveral. You also mention ice skating and that is limited to the Voyager class and Freedom class (though the Oasis class will likely have an ice rink too). If you are looking at Feb 2010 then the Voyager will likely be in Galveston and the Freedom of the Seas will be in Port Canaveral. The Carnival Dream will also be in Port Canaveral and the Carnival Conquest will be in Galveston.
The Conquest does not have a water park, but it does have a water slide. The Dream will have a water slide (all Carnival ships do) and I believe it will have a water park (the Dream is not out yet). The Voyager does have an ice rink and rock climbing. However, the Freedom of the Seas has an ice rink and a water park (but no water slide). I don't have any photos of the water park on any of the Carnival ships yet. The water park is being installed on the Fantasy class ships and I have not been on one that has it - yet. If the Dream has a water park, well, no one has been on the Dream yet.
The ice rink on the Voyager of the sea is just like the ice rink on the Freedom of the Seas. The following photos are from the Freedom of the Seas ...
Water park AKA H2O Zone ...
Those were all from the water park. The two main pools are separate ...
Ice rink ...
Rock wall ...
