We got home from our Eastern Caribbean cruise aboard the Carnival Glory 8 days ago. This was our second cruise, the first being on the Carnival Sensation in 9/02, and now on the Glory.

We flew from Richmond, VA to Orlando the day before the cruise left. We rented a car from Budget at Orlando Int'l Airport, and drove to Port Canaveral, where we spent the night at the Radisson Resort at the Port. The hotel is very nice, and we had a nice relaxing evening on Friday night before the cruise.

Saturday, April 17, we had a nice leisurely breakfast, and returned the car to Budget, which is about a block away from the hotel. Budget's shuttle took us to the port, which was very busy, as the cruise before us was a little late in releasing its passengers. We had booked our cruise through the internet, and had a wonderful experience. We also booked a balcony guarantee this time around. Once we got our baggage out of the shuttle, we told the porter that we had a guarantee, and what our last name was. He looked on the manifest to give us our cabin number. We were thrilled to be upgraded 2 categories from the minimum we asked for! The hitch was that there was another family with the same last name as ours, so he gave us the wrong cabin number. Luckily, their cabin was 3 doors down from ours, so we could grab our luggage when it came to their cabin.
