We were on a 1 week Eastern Caribbean cruise at end of Jan and this was our first cruise that we took in the winter. We thought we would get some sunshine in to break up our winter but was naive about the weather. The weather was cloudy, rainy and cool for much of the time. If we cruise again at this time of the year, I will take more warm clothes and more ginger root candy as the waters were choppy about 50% of the time. Not the cruise line's fault but a lesson learned for us.
The Glory is a lovely ship -- older but still lovely and very clean. Our balcony room was a good size and had a pleasant decor. Cabin steward was wonderful...non intrusive but got the job done quickly. I liked the 1 door to the balcony vs the sliding doors on Royal Caribbean and Norwegian as they opened and closed much easier.
Carnival allows each guest to bring on board a bottle of wine which is a nice touch. Royal and Norwegian does not allow for this.
