This was my first cruise and I am now a cruiser for life. What a wonderful way to spend a Honeymoon. Four ports of call, unpack once and never lift a finger,now that's what I call a vacation! If you want to stay connected to the world...this isn't for you. That is what's so great about a cruise. No cell phones, email or "crack"berries! Just relaxation! You are still connected if you want to be but I would think seriously about it. Leave home at home and head off into the great blue without a care in the world.
We arrived in Port Canaveral and stayed at the Radisson Hotel in Cocoa Beach. The Park and Cruise is a great deal and I highly recommend it. The hotel shuttle takes you right to the port and will pick you up when you are going home. Couldn't be easier than that!
The Carnival Glory took us to the Western Caribbean. I would recommend this itinerary. Cozumel Mexico, Belize, Isla Roatan and Freeport Bahamas. Service on the Glory is wonderful. I remember asking for ice in my ice bucket from the cabin steward the first night and each night after that my ice bucket was full with only one request. Staff didn't seem to know too much about ports of call, but were helpful and always answered questions to the best of their knowledge.
