Sail Date: Sep 2014
Cabin: Ocean View

We have more than 120 cruises on many different lines & 1100 plus logged dives. Use cruise to get us from port to port, rather than flying and long layovers. We chose Carnival Glory due to fact NCL Sun is coming to Tampa. Not a favorite NCL ship. Boarding - good. Cabin 1233 - large, able to walk around double bed. Shower, extra small, with attacking shower curtain, slow drain - fixed promptly. Alchemy Martini Bar where they take mixing drinks seriously. Alex & attractive Romainian are the best. Sign up for VIFP club, get FREE cocktail at breakfast, lunch or brunch in restaurant. Seaday brunch - steak & eggs. We had late seating dining with Valentino (Jamaica), in Golden restaurant. Lobster is served 2nd night. Fish & Chips had Fried oysters, Bob's Burgers good. Menus online NOT updated. Negative: Late to dinner one evening, went to "anytime dining". Inappropriate behavior by host. Told "anytime dining" is assigned. NCL has the BEST anytime dining, for everyone. Learned lesson. Booked on RCL Vision of Seas next month. Gratuities for "anytime dining" has to be paid up front at booking. NOT NCL.

Due to our many cruises & diving experiences, we use Sea Sports Belize, Ship time 8AM to 5PM. Actually in port 7AM to 4PM. In Roatan ship time 7AM to 3PM . ACTUALLY 5AM to 2PM. Most ships change to island time, NOT Carnival. Sounds GOOD in brochure. At Mahogany Bay - long walk up hill to cabs, & even longer walk to cabs over mountain (for private pick up). Be aware of times before you go. We had ONLY time for one (1) dive at Fantasy Island due to ship time. A real bummer! Excursion off ship - Cozumel - dove with Sanddollar Sports - $74.99 - 2 tank w/o equip. Have used them many times before. Not the normal divers. Like to dress (tux), & have cocktails. Miniature golf on upper deck - fun. Great value for 7 day cruise.
