We receive what I'm told is a not so unusual email stating that it would be better to arrive at the NYC cruise terminal a little later in the day to ease over crowding and suggested taking in some of the NYC sites before boarding the Carnival Glory.
Made me a little nervous never received this email before a cruise. Checked it out with other Cruise Critic cruisers who assured me they had gotten the same email for other cruises and it was considered a normal mailing to ease terminal crowding.
We had an Inside Cabin on the Empress Deck, cabin 7300. It was the perfect size for us. Plenty of closet and draw space. Luggage fits under the bed. Bathroom and shower were more than adequate. We have had the same cabin for three cruises on the Carnival Glory.
