Labor Day Week Cruise on the Carnival Glory
In July it was time for my wife and I to decide where to go for our annual trip to celebrate our wedding anniversary. After looking at several options we decided on this cruise since it was one of the few itineraries that did not include a port call in Boston a city we have visited on two other vacations to New England. To get to New York's Manhattan ...
Do not be afraid of this ship. I went last year for 4 nights and came back for 7. It was ust as good as last year and I had a great time. Our room was never bad, comfortable and very very quiet !. the food was good, never a issue. The signature restaurant is a MOST GO ! unbelievably wonderful. My husband had the Lobster Ravioli and expected little flat pockets. What he got- 3 5 inch towers filled ...
I just returned from a 7 day New England/Canada cruise departing Manhattan. I can never become bored with that departure from New York, it's just jaw dropping. We sailed from Sept. 14th to Sept. 21. The weather was incredible, clear blue skies, calm seas and warm temperatures.
The food in the dining room was generally very good. Our 3 waiters worked together with military precision for dinner ...
We are veteran cruisers of 18 cruises and were looking forward to this east coast intenary, which we had not done before. We spent two nights pre cruise in Manhattan which was a lot of fun.
The cruise terminal seemed very organized and boarding was a breeze. We are Platium and were allowed to proceed directly to our cabin, which was ready at 12:30. Had a Guys Burger for lunch and were ready to ...
This was our second cruise, but the first with Carnival. We have heard a fair bit about Carnival since booking and a good portion was not good. The main purpose of of trip was rest and relaxation.
We booked the Carnival ground transportation from Laguardia to the ship and when we picked up our luggage the rep was no where to be found. The reps from the other cruise lines were all there, lined up ...
First of all let me say that my wife and I are veteran travelers of cruises and we are platinum on carnival. They certainly call them "The Fun Ships" for a reason. We enjoyed a four day stay in New York prior to departing on our cruise and New York can be confusing if you let it be. Enough said about that.
Our cruise was awesome. Our journey began with a speedy embarkation (about 30 minutes) and ...
Just returned from Carnival Glory 7 night from New York to Halifax. Halifax was 88 degrees.
I have personal suggestions.
New York - we stayed one night at The Verve Hotel and taxied into Times Square and took the red hop on hop off bus tour. We didn't get off. We got off where we started, ate dinner, and returned to take the night light tour of New York. These were very different tours. Being ...
We have been on quite a few cruises and are Gold with Carnival. This cruise was rather a let down in a few areas.
Cabin was fine, a bit dated and worn. The door to the balcony did not seal completely so even when closed there was some wind noise. Did enjoy that the temp is set on the shower. With the signage about being green in relation to towels and their reuse, I do wish that the cabin steward ...
It was apparent from the start that Carnival is trying to enhance their bottom line, often at the expense of their "guests". The so-called "shows" were pathetic...almost all dancing, and even that not well done. The costumes were second rate as well.
Our room was a nice size (mini-suite), but the decor was in bad taste. It had a "glitzy" feeling....oranges, golds, pinks, etc. Around the fifth ...
The title of my review says it all. We live in New York City so leaving from the west side of Manhattan is great. We have often taken a subway but this time opted for a car service. Check in (as Platinum) was easy, but woe to those without status. We were traveling with two friends who waited about 1 1/2 hours to get through the process. Really? That's unacceptable.
The main positives were the ...
