We've cruised 4 times. Professionals with no children so we choose to not cruise during holidays or school breaks ever again. Carnival Jubilee - Western Caribbean Royal Caribbean Rhapsody of the Seas - Western Caribbean - Montego Bay, Grand Cayman, Cozumel NCL Spirit - Western Caribbean - Costa Maya, Belize, Guatamala, Cozumel Carnival Glory - Eastern Caribbean - Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay, San Juan, St. Thomas
After the Jubilee experience, we had pretty much decided cruising wasn't for us. A couple of years later one of our friends convinced us to try another cruise line and we enjoyed the Rhapsody and cruising became an option for our vacations again. We pretty much pick our cruises by ports, departure ports and then price so when we were looking for a good getaway, the Carnival Glory fit the bill and we decided to give Carnival another try.
I do agree with some of the others on their reviews. The Carnival Glory is not a luxury ship, but it is a pleasant, clean, decent vacation value with good ports. If you want luxury, you should go on a cruise with luxury pricing.
