After a really AMAZING 8 night cruise in May on the Carnival Splendor, my boyfriend and I decided we HAD to go on another Carnival cruise before the summer was over. With my tight schedule, we could only fit in a shorter cruise, and the Carnival Glory 5 night to Canada fit the bill. Neither of us really cared about seeing Canada, and we took this cruise in hopes of meeting new people and having a great time. We're both 25 years old, college graduates, who like to have a lot of fun. This was my third Carnival cruise to Canada (went with my family on the Triumph in '99 and the Victory in 2008), my boyfriend's third cruise in general, my 11th cruise and 6th with Carnival. We have both sailed RCI before (independently of one another) and we don't care for it. We like what Carnival has to offer and we plan to stick with Carnival.

Embarkation: After waiting an hour to board the Splendor in May, I was quite angry when my boyfriend showed up 45 minutes late to pick me up. We arrive at the pier around 1145 and we were on board within 20 minutes. We both felt like we were in an alternate universe. Quick and painless, so thank you for that, Carnival.

The 2.0 upgrades on the Carnival Glory were phenomenal. Guy's Burger Joint and the Blue Iguana Cantina were incredible additions. The food was always fast and fresh and really well-made. Alchemy bar was definitely really cool and I think it's something everyone should try at least once. Hanna was really wonderful when it came to helping us select drinks. Punchliner comedy club is a nice addition that the Splendor had as well, so we knew we would love that. Read more
