The Introduction: I am a 24 year old male in the public service field. This was my sixth cruise with Carnival, and my first on the Carnival Glory. All of my previous cruises have been on "Fantasy Class" ships, so this was my first on a newer ship. The cruise left from Port Canaveral on 9-1-07 and went to Nassau, St. Thomas and St. Maarten. We booked very early, almost a year in advance, and paid $475 per person for interior rooms. I highly recommend booking early or watching the "specials" sections on a cruise line's web site, you can save a lot of money that way. Our group was 9 couples, all between the ages of 21 and 40.

Since school was in, there were very few children on board. I will probably never take another cruise that isn't during the school year, since the ship is overrun with kids in the summer months. Cruises are also cheaper from September through April, so that works out great for us being that we don't have kids.

The Embarkation: We arrived at the cruise terminal around 12:30 PM, unloaded the luggage and parked. Having been on the Sensation in May, I was surprised at the congestion at the Glory's pier. It was confusing and very crowded. The line of cars waiting to unload at the luggage drop off area was about an hour long. We pulled out of line and just went to the garage and carried our luggage to the porters. That saved us a lot of time. Once we got into the terminal, the process went very fast. We got onto the ship and were able to put our luggage in the room.
