I just returned home from the Carnival Glory 5 night cruise from New York to Saint John and Halifax, September 5 - Sept 10, 2011.
I usually have an excellent cruise on Carnival. But this cruise was an exception. It was not a great cruise.... As a matter of fact, my cruise was the VERY BEST absolutely amazing fantasy jaw-dropping wonderful vacation I ever had. Carnival really topped themselves with this cruise. I am so happy I took this cruise.
First, the price. I traveled solo. I was a 5 night cruise, but I got a great price. Airfare would cost more than that, you can't get 5 nights in a hotel for that price, but I got a beautiful room, a gorgeous ship, 5 dinners, lunches and breakfasts, unlimited buffet, non-stop music, big shows, 2 ports, games, fun, and you spoiled me. I could not resist this cruise at this cost. And the value I received was many times more than what I paid.
Cabin 2216 Carnival Glory. Spacious room, 1 bed and sofa, no upper bunk. Equipped with two portholes. Considered a 1A category room, priced lass than an inside cabin. Perfect for solo passenger. But it is a long walk to the dining room.
