Carnival Glory - Eastern Caribbean April 29 - May 6, 2006

This is my sixth cruise, third with Carnival and my first on a Conquest class ship. This is my first Eastern Caribbean cruise. My last cruise was on the Norwegian Star to the Mexican Riviera. My last Carnival cruise was on the Pride also to the Mexican Riviera. In response to a request for more details, I wrote my last review while I was still on the ship. I spent part of each night sitting on my balcony, watching the world go by and writing my review. Thus the review was written while the events were still fresh in my mind. The review was long (about 20 pages) and I received a lot of positive feed back from the people who read the review and responded. So, I have decided to do it again this cruise.

Being from California, I choose to fly to Florida. I flew out on Thursday. One of the reasons I choose the Glory for this cruise was that I wanted to visit the Kennedy Space Center, which I did on Friday. I thought the Kennedy Space Center was great! I highly recommend it if you have the time. It is so big, even one day is not enough. Since I needed a car for my extra day in Cape Canaveral, I rented one. Avis, Budget, Hertz and Thrifty all have rental locations near the port and all are within two miles of each other. I rented from Avis and Avis offers a free shuttle service between the port and their rental location. Read more
