This was our 23rd Cruise. Mostly with Carnival & RCL.
We chose Carnival over RCL due to the following preferences:
Carnival Glory's quality of Lounge Entertainment. You spend 7 hours of your Cruise day enjoying Lounge music so this is very important to us.
The Cabins space was much better than we experienced on any RCL ship.
Great bathroom shelving. +++ The beds were very comfortable and clean.
We could NOT enjoy our balcony due to a Cigar smoker on our left and Cigarette smokers on our right! Even though we requested a non smoking Cabin area.
