Ship: Carnival Glory 12/15/2007 - 12/22/2007 from Port Canaveral. Party of 5. Visited: Cozumel, Belize, Roatan, Freeport

Previous Cruise History: Carnival-Fantasy, Carnival - Celebration (3 Cruises), Celebrity- Constellation Reason for Choosing Carnival Glory: Port Canaveral 3 hours drive from home. 7 day cruise. Visited ports that we had not been to before. Departed and Arrived on a Saturday which allowed a day of rest before going back to work on Monday. Embarkation: Arrived around 12 noon. Good crowd already present but moving ok. Once we made it through the initial security check in, we were met by a Carnival representative due to one person in our party using a wheel chair. Representative took us to a area away from the crowds and personally handled checking in all members of our party. After we had received our Sign/Sail cards the representative led us on-board the ship even actually taking over pushing the wheel chair on board for us. Whole check-in took around 45 minutes due to # of person in our party and one person forgetting to bring their birth certificate with them. They accepted his driver's license and SSN card. Rooms: Had 2 inside rooms. Only complaint was during the cruise they was a slight almost unnoticeable rocking of the ship and this I was told caused a sort of clicking/popping noise coming from the ceiling which was only really noticeable when trying to get to sleep. Ship Staff. Room Steward, Dining room personnel were all great. Bruno the Maitre-D was great. Most of the staff greeted you when you passed them walking on the ship although a few did not acknowledge any greetings we made. On Board Facilities. Wish they would have had an betterAdults only area that included a pool/whirlpools. The small area we found in the gym away from most of the crowds was very small with a small pool with a water jets that you could use to swim against. The whirlpool attached only held 3 persons comfortably. Part of my problem was the large amount of UNSUPERVISED teenagers on board. The last night of the cruise we were coming back from a show and met 3 teenagers racing down the hall pushing one of their friends in a wheelchair. They had run into and snagged some luggage that had been placed in the hall and were trying their might to get past the luggage. We told them they were going to tear a hole in the luggage. Their response what to just get out of the chair and run down the hall. We were told we had a full cruise around 3500 guests. Entertainment: The shows were OK. One night they had a comedian we really liked. I thought they could have had better lead singers especially the male vocalist. Voice ok but no stage presence or personality. Dancers were fair. NOTE: I was really spoiled on a past cruise on the Celebrity Constellation. Hey can't be bad when they hand you a glass of champagne when you board the ship.

Food: Food was good. Had a chocolate buffet one day and was in heaven. Read more
