My husband and I cruised Dec. 13th 19th for our Birthdays,28 & 29. I'm a procrastinator so I'm just now getting around to writing a review. This was our second time on the Glory. First was April/May 2008, then Dec. 2008.

Both times we drove and stayed at the Residence Inn Cape Canaveral. Great Hotel, Comfy beds, breakfast, and we got to park there. We took a shuttle to the port for a small fee. The shuttle guy takes care of you luggage. The first time we stayed there we walked straight back to the water (probably trespassing into the condo area) to see the ship, better. What we saw were many manatee's just hanging out right in front of us. So cool. In Dec, we notice a sign down the road from the hotel that says Manatee Park turn here. So you can get there by car.

Embarkation- Went better the first time. The second time it took 10 min to get threw baggage, then we went straight up to the counter and got our room tickets. They gave us a number and told us to have a seat; we weren't aloud to get straight on the ship like the first time. After 20-30min a lady said the new number system wasn't working so they let us board the ship. Thank goodness it didn't work, because they did that in Tampa many yrs. ago and there was like 2,000 people in one room waiting for them to call numbers. Horrible start to a vacation. Read more
