Just returned from a 2 Day Cruise to No Where with my DH and my niece. DH and I are seasoned cruisers and have been on Royal and NCL. We are now legal guardians to my 13 year old niece so sharing a vacation and a cabin with a child is new to us so we thought a 2 day cruise would be perfect way to try it out.
Love leaving out of Manhattan. Coming from CT its a pleasant drive. Because we left early we were on the pier about 10:30 so parking was not an issue and were on board by 11:30. Being a 2 day, you bring your own luggage on board. Not an issue expect we had to drag it around for 2+ hours. We did a 2 day on NCL in Feb and they allowed you to leave your luggage in one of the clubs until the rooms were ready. Carnival, take note, that is a nice option!
Heard good things about Guys Burgers and headed there first. YUM! I am not a burger fan but this really was delicious. Fries were delish too!
Had an Ocean Suite on Carnival Glory, deck 7, room 7329. This is Carnival's smallest suite and though the bathroom was roomy, and I loved the vanity/changing area, the room with area was small. We had 3 people; 2 adults and 1 teenager and though we were able to manage, my expectation was greater. Previously I had an aft suite on NCL's Dawn and that was really large; more like a hotel room. This room was a little too close to the elevators for my liking as on occasion you could hear the bell of the elevator and on many occasions, people laughing and talking going past my door. Not enough to keep me up, but in future I would prefer to be a few more doors down.
