This was our sixth cruise. Our first cruise was on Carnival Imagination, we then went on the Grandeur of the Seas. The next was our first week long cruise on the Carnival Freedom. Our last two cruises were on NCL ships. Ager experiencing three different cruise lines, everyone in our family wanted to come back to Carnival. We were glad that we did. It didn't take us long to remember why we wanted to come back to Carnival: it was for the fun. There is an attitude and spirit on the Carnival ships that makes their cruises not only relaxing but highly enjoyable.

While Carnival ships are notorious for their gaudy and outlandish decorations, the Glory's decoration scheme is a bit more subdued. Our favorite area on the ship was the Ebony Lounge. While the Glory is the same class of ship as the Freedom, it had a more open and comfortable feel. The Serenity area was a very nice touch, and several members of our group utilized this area frequently. The ship was clean and the staff was very pleasant and hardworking. The food on the ship was very good. We ate in the Platinum dining room each evening, and most of the meals and desserts were very good. Our wait staff and cabin steward were absolutely outstanding and made our trip very pleasurable. We enjoyed the juggling comedian and the magician acts very much. The comedy clubs are a new feature that are extremely popular, and were a lot of fun.

Our ports of call were wonderful. Upon arrival at the dock, we were informed that the ship may not be able to stop in Belize and may be re-routed to Costa Maya. Having been to both places, we were not disappointed in the change. The only thing was that we were planning to go out on our big excursion at Belize. Having that canceled, we were forced to scramble to find another excursion. Read more
