Have been on about five other Carnival cruises and this one ranks on the bottom. First the way the ship Red Sail Restaurant looked was old looking and dark not like the Liberty or Valor. Some cakes and deserts seemed old like left over from the cruise before, rest of food was good, but I hate chicken turkey so I ate a lot of sandwiches from the Deli. Lunch and dinner I would eat a salad and bake potato and salad. Could have been more selections on meat items. Other cruise the late party on the Lido deck was a party everyone dancing ,band or music playing and a lot of party things going on and a lot of fun . I took a nap so I would be up for the Lido deck party, on Liberty and Valor they was a blast cruise director and everyone up there having fun. The next day you would hear everyone talking was you up on the Lido deck last night it was great!!!. Well after taking my nap and going to the Lido deck on the Glory we went through the buffet line and got some Mexican food and then off to bed no party no music. Other cruises a lot of music like Caribean music playing around the pool. One day on the Glory they had some teenagers playing some loud music with a electric guitar sound more like Rock. Where was the Jimmy Buffet songs . Going around the ship they would be singers singing Latin songs. I am 63 and I felt like 93 by the music on this cruise, I like lively music and I like the Five a clock somewhere music . Food over all was good burgers and fries and the Ice cream was great. Pizza on Carnival is terrible compared to Princess and Royal Carribean, you have to stand in line to get their pizza, on Carnival you have to ring a bell to get someone to come. On this cruise I ate two piecies of pizza on my princess cruise to Alaska about four slices a day, and people in line waiting to get the pizza. But Carnival has good prices on their cruises and I can eat other things than pizza. Cozumel was great and Belize was good if you had a tour booked and for shopping my wife was ready to go back on ship after 15 minutes,other than the ships diamond places and place had no shopping. I have enjoyed and liked Carnival cruises before this one the live music and the late night party on the Lido deck, will book another cruise on Carnival and hope its nothing like the Glory. Went to the comedy show and he was awful no one laughed around our table, he the comedian kelp asking is everyone asleep. Yes the cruise over all was good, never been on a bad cruise yet but this one ranks as the most disappointing.

Cabin Review

Ocean View

Cabin 6B

Cabin was great the oceanview was worth the extra money. We always got a inner cabin, but enjoyed the view from our window in the oceanview. Before we new the name of our cabin stewert and saw him at least three times a day this cruise, we never did get to know our cabin stewert. But the room was great
