I would first like to tell you we went on a Xmas cruise from Miami 12/20/09-12/27/09. I have taken 6 cruises in the past and am 55. I go with my wife, sister and mother in law. My wife and I get the balcony cabin and my sister and mother in law do an inside cabin across the hall.
After reading several reviews on The Glory and Carnival, I had mixed feelings going into the trip and not much was done to change my feelings afterward. Here is a run down of the trip.
Embarkation/Debarkation: It was very fast and easy checking in and getting aboard and probably the best ever experienced. For disembarking, we did the walk off with our luggage and there are delays with that and you still have to hang around and wait to be called. Not as good as NCL
