Carnival Glory Review

Additional details
This is the second time I've cruised on the Carnival Glory. In October 2010 I was on the Glory to New England and Canada from Manhattan. So glad that I researched and read reviews. We decided to book the least expensive cabin on the ship, listed technically as an inside cabin, but comes with two portholes. We were in Cabin 1211, almost to the front of the ship on deck one. It was surprisingly easy to get to the Lido deck for snacks and also getting an elevator for the dining room, etc. was never really a problem. And, for excursions we were just one deck up from the disembarking area, so it was really convenient for boarding and getting off the ship in port.
This cabin is also unusually large for such an inexpensive category. There is a bunk bed that actually disappears into the ceiling and a daybed that can be used as a bed. We had a very nice seating area, plenty of mirrors and areas to do makeup and hair.
For those times that we did not eat in the formal dining room, there were many choices that were no-fee, including a burrito bar, deli, pizza and calzone station, hamburger and hot dog station (best burgers!) and a lesser known area upstairs from the buffet area that serves fish and chips. The upstairs dining area was a great place to relax and look out the floor to ceiling windows.
Cabin Review

Cabin 1211 is amazing! One of the least expensive cabins on the ship, yet comes with two portholes! It was in a very quiet location, although we would hear a "clunk" from time to time. We really thought it was due to waves at sea, but it could have been any number of other things. We just never investigated as it didn't bother us.
The cabin is much larger than the average ocean view rooms. We had a complete sitting area with a full daybed, chair coffee/end table and plenty of room for luggage. We didn't even bother to put our suitcases under the bed, because there was so much area to store them. The refrigerator was nice to have. There was plenty of drawer and closet space. They were kind enough to bring us extra hangers. And don't forget those laundry rooms for pressing, washing, etc. Very handy and a lot less expensive than having it done.
