Our family had a great time aboard the Carnival Glory. Not everything was perfect, but we had such a good time, my kids and husband are hooked on going on another cruise.
Staff: Most of the crew usually had a smile and a greeting and were fairly friendly and helful. Our wait staff while not being overly warm, were efficient and fairly quick, never raising an eyebrow if we ordered more than one entree or appetizer.
Food: As other reviewers have said, hit or miss. Fish and Chips, deli and burrito bar were all good. Desserts on the buffet were what you would expect, pretty but overall not very flavorful. Ice cream was pretty low budget, but at least plentiful. MDR had some wonderful items, we really liked the cold soups. Main dishes could be very much like banquet food, but not awful, just not super wow either. Desserts were always good, including the very tasty chocolate melting cake and creme brule on the first night. Food overall was fair to good.
