Carnival Glory Review

Additional details
This was my fourth cruise, third with Carnival, second for this route (New York to Halifax and St. John). I traveled with my daughter, age 21, and a family friend from France, age 19. I chose this cruise because I wanted our visitor to have a chance to see Canada, and not just the United States, on her first trip to North America.
I felt this cruise was not quite as good as past Carnival cruises for me. There were not as many activities, and the food was not quite as good. It may also be that the newness has just worn off for me. Also, the ship was extremely crowded this time (3,600 guests -- I didn't know the ship could even hold this many). There were lots of family groups and lots of good energy among guests, but lines for everything were always present and long. This got old.
Carnival cruises are always a GREAT value, in any case -- one of my main motivations for traveling with them.
Cabin Review
Ocean Suite
Carnival Glory Cabin 7325, Deck 7, Starboard. Ocean Suite with balcony. It did not look like the suites in the website pictures, which look like two rooms or areas side by side. It was instead one large room, but with a lot of storage and a luxurious bathroom for a cruise cabin. There is also a private dressing room between the bedroom and the bathroom, with a good sized vanity and mirror and large closet. This provided privacy for changing clothes, which was appreciated. Enjoyed balcony but in Canada it got pretty wet and was not usable for a day or so. Good location middle of ship, convenient to everything.
