BACKGROUND

My husband (37) and I (38) cruised aboard the Glory on the December 8th sailing to the Western Caribbean. As much as we love to travel with our four kids (daughters 9 & 7 and sons 4 & 2), after being a stay-at-home parent for the past four years, when I saw a great deal for the Glory in July, I thought it was a great excuse to take a break from parental duties and have a week alone with hubby. Thankfully my wonderful parents agreed and came to my house for the week to take care of the kids and do my daily grind.

While we’ve cruised steadily over the years, this was our first cruise on Carnival in over a decade. We were very excited to try the brand again to see how it stacked up against the other cruises we’ve taken aboard Princess, NCL, Royal Caribbean and Disney.

Cabin Review

The cabin was very well appointed, although there were small areas that showed her age (drawers under the sofa would no longer align and close properly) or lack of minor maintenance (several burnt out light bulbs) but it was kept spotless all week by our lovely cabin attendant and was very spacious. There is abundant storage space that we were hard pressed to use as we had packed so lightly. There is space under the bed, in the drawers under the sofa, in the drawers at the desk, in three closets and in a pantry at the end of the desk - plenty of places to tuck away belongings. We also noticed that there was plenty of room around the window with a generous ledge. We also thought the bathroom was a good size with lots of shelves for toiletries and also spotlessly (and I mean spotlessly) maintained throughout the week.
