We are writing this review driving home from our seventh Carnival cruise.  Having sailed the western Carribean the past two summers, we looked forward to sailing the eastern side again.  We were not disappointed!We stayed at the Raddison Port Caniveral and took advantage of their cruise package.  Our room and the pool were beautiful.  We rode the hotel shuttle and were onboard by 12:30.We would like to thank Cruise Critic member Tammie for organizing a meet and greet where she supplied us all with name tags and door signs.  What a nice way to meet fellow cruise critic members and passengers.The Glory continues to be clean and well-maintained.  The staff and crew were always friendly and helpful.  "Soup", our cabin steward always called us by name and kept our cabin spotless and ice bucket full.  Our servers in the dining room, George and Joni, went out of their way to make our dining experience enjoyable.  The choices were plentiful and the food excellent like always.  We greatly appreciate the different dining choices on the Lido deck every day... buffet, fish and chips, deli, oriental, pizza, hot dogs, burgers and fries.Nassau:  We enjoyed several hours of shopping in the straw market and finished our afternoon being entertained by partying passengers at Senor Frogs.St. Thomas:  We followed advise from this website and spent the day snorkling, swimming and sunning at Secret Harbor Beach Resort.  We had a great lunch at Blue Moon Cafe on the beach.St. Maarten:  Taxied at Orient Beach and paid $14 to rent two nice beds, and umbrella plus two free drinks.  We had a wonderful lunch at Andy and Cheryl's Baywatch...where everyone was treated like an old customer.  Orient Beach continues to be one of our favorite beaches.We enjoyed the Mickey Utley Band so much.  Live music is one of our favorite forms of entertainment.  They are very talented and play with a lot of energy.One minor complaint is the lack of an adult pool.  With three full size pools, it would be nice to have the aft pool for adults only as on other Carnival ships.  Debarkation:  We did the self-assist which went very smoothly and were off the ship in 45 minutes.We are already planning to take the same cruise next summer on the Carnival Dream.

We had a inside cabin which was okay.  The bathroom was really small...but they always are.
