I found these boards very helpful in planning our cruise, so I thought I'd repay the favor. This review ended up being much longer and comprehensive than I first intended, but hopefully you'll find it helpful.
By way of background my wife and I took our two young children on the Carnival Glory for a five-night cruise out of New York to Canada. This is our third cruise, the first time on Carnival, and the first time we've done it with kids.
Overall we had a great time and have many positive things to say about the trip. There are a few critiques I would make too, however. Some quite minor, some not so much.
