My boyfriend and I sailed on the Glory on 11/03/07. We were celebrating our 4th anniversary together as a couple. We sailed last year on the Inspiration and had a wonderful time. This cruise on the Glory was my third cruise. My very 1st cruise was on the Sensation in 2004.
My boyfriend and I live in Tampa, so we drove our own car to Port Canaveral that morning. It was about a 2-hour drive. Embarkation went pretty painless. There was a line at check-in, but it moved fairly quickly. We were on the ship by 12:30.
When we were checking in, were told that our room would not be ready until 1:30. So we ate lunch in the Red Sail Restaurant on the Lido deck. The food was pretty good for being buffet-style. After we ate, we walked around the ship taking pictures. At 1:30 we made our way down to deck 2 to our stateroom. We booked an oceanview stateroom. The room was kept very clean and Jason, our room steward, was very friendly and helpful. We brought our own bottled water on board and Jason always made sure the ice bucket was filled with ice every day. I especially loved the nightly turn-down service with a new towel animal each night.
