Okay, for the price I was not expecting much. I wanted to drive to Canada but the price of gas got me thinking that this might be the better option. I am glad I did this cruise, but here are some things to think about when choosing the Carnival Glory. Carnival is a good name for it, they try to get money out of you at every corner. Ironically, one of the constant 80's tunes that was play was Blonde's "One way or Another". (We are going to get your money.) I do not drink. At all. And the moment we boarded the ship, I was handed a drink. Not asked but handed it. I thought it was free and took a sip to find out it was a cocktail. Was holding it cordially until I could ditch it. But instead I was handed a bill to sign?????? ($7.50)  Learned the hard way but my friend ended taking the drink and put it on her tab. Got outta that one. Then we went to our cabin. I had read on here two days before our trip about bed bugs two doors down from our cabin. So went on a few sites to get information on the buggers. The first thing we did was check the sheets and bingo! Blood stains or something on the sheets on my daughters bed. The apologize profusely and change the ASAP good!! Then I decide to take a nap and can smell that someone else had been in my bed (they change the sheets again). So we did not seem to have any problems with the cabin after that as a matter of fact the service was wonderful and prompt. Towel animals where fun.

Food-Took a minimum of 20 minutes-max about a hour to get a table in the Golden Dining room and service was very slow. Food was just okay needed spices nicely presented small portions but we where always full by the end of the meal. Rolls where not great, butter not tasty. The whole meal process took two hours.

Photos-I am a professional photographer and was very impressed with the quality of the photos. That said pricing was fair and I did get many. However I felt like the whole boat turning into one big photo shoot each evening. There where rigs set up every few yards in every open space causing congestion.
