Hi everyone!! This is my review from our cruise on the Carnival Glory from July 19th-July 26th.

Day 1 (Saturday): Right off the bat, we had a problem with our flight out of Newark Liberty. Our flight, on Continental, which was booked through Carnival, was supposed to leave at 11:00am, which I already thought was cutting it close since the ship leaves at 4:00pm. Well, 11am came and no plane, due to traffic on the runway. Two hours later, it appeared and we left, arriving at Orlando at 3pm. At first, Carnival hoarded us onto the bus and said that we would meet our luggage in Key West tomorrow, but after leaving the airport and driving for a few minutes, we were informed that we were turning back because the ship would be leaving late. We got our luggage, were bussed to Port Canaveral, and got on the ship at 4pm, and the ship left. We were in cabin 1279. It was the largest we had been in, but I would not recommend this particular cabin. It is next to an AC unit that had some sort of buzzer that would go off from time to time and could be heard in our cabin. A bit of an annoyance. At night, we went to the Welcome aboard Show, which was very good. We found John Heald, the Cruise Director, to be very entertaining the entire cruise.

Day 2 (Sunday-Key West): We had stayed in Key West for a few days in November, so we just walked around, went to the Hemingway House (OK) and the Little White House (much better). At dinner, I had a problem with my sail-and-sign account. After using the card for a full day, I ordered a drink at dinner and was informed that my account with the ship had not been started. So I had to leave dinner, go to my cabin for my credit card, go up to the pursers desk and resign up. This is the second year in a row that this happened during dinner, and it makes me ask why they cannot get that right. At night, we went to the Cinn-A-Bar, which has a piano sing-along each night. Had a lot of fun there, highly recommend.
