Just returned from a cruise on the Carnival Glory. We sailed from February 24th to March 3rd, 2013.
We arrived at the Port of Miami on Sunday around 2:30 p.m. The entire embarkation process only took approximately 15 minutes and then we were on the ship and in our stateroom. Our Cabin was an Ocean View Suite on Deck 7, which was absolutely beautiful. (Highly recommend this type of room)
Our ports of call included Nassau, St. Thomas, San Juan and Grand Turk. We did not do any shore excursions during this trip. We did get off at every port and enjoyed walking around and doing a little shopping.
