I will start off with embarkation, it was fast because my wife and I got there early, and I would suggest getting there early, as they will let you on board before the posted time.

We have cruised with carnival before one other time and this was the worst service we have received on any cruise line, the last carnival cruise we took was the Conquest in 2003 and it was excellent and it was the same size ship and class as the Glory. The attitude of the crew on the Glory was poor and most of the crew were very unfriendly and acted inconvenienced with any questions or request, and this is terrible considering the fact that service is a huge part of what makes a cruise vacation so special. The horrible attitude of the staff is what really made this cruise awful. I would not recommend the Glory to anyone looking for an excellent cruise vacation and value.
