We combined a trip to the National WWII Museum in New Orleans with this cruise. This was the only reason for selecting the Glory. Our hotel (Holiday Inn Express) is a little over a half mile from the cruise terminal but after walking the Riverwalk and Convention Center, I don't think that there is a way to get there other than by taxi. Cost was around $20. We had an early check in time and from ...
We thought it would be fun to cruise out of New Orleans. Getting on the ship was a breeze! We had a suite so it was the first time we had priority boarding. We got to the port at 11:15 and were on the ship eating lunch by 11:30. Sail away was awesome - very cool to sail though the city and down the Mississippi. Our room steward, Webster was AMAZING. He took good care of us and also always started ...
Some of the Carnival workers at the port in New Orleans were very rude and were actually yelling loudly at us and other people that we spoke to had the same experience. We travelled with friends and they actually yelled loudly at them because the wife was holding both documents in her hand. They also told them to step out of line because of it. They sent me and my husband to another line as we had ...
NOLA is the most convenient port for us to leave from. We have done this cruise many times. This time I enjoyed my fellow cruisers more than any other time. So talented that we stayed at karaoke night after night over the entertainment staff. Seriously, record execs should have been there ready to sign some truly gifted singers! I’ve never heard such talent at karaoke before. Staff was ...
If you're in the market for a cruise vacation, the Carnival Glory is a solid choice. I recently spent seven days on the ship, and found it to be the perfect amount of time. Not too long, but long enough to fully experience all the amenities the ship has to offer. I've been on two cruises out of New Orleans, and it's my favorite departure location.
The Glory is starting to show its age a bit, ...
TLDR: It looks like cruising is back to pre-covid standards - more or less.
Embarkation:
New Orleans is always a nightmare getting to the port. I realize this isn't under Carnival's direct control, but it seems like they'd have some power to get New Orleans to figure out some way to get this organized better. But once inside the terminal, things went smoothly and quickly.

This was our second sailing since the lockdowns, and Jan 2020. Had 17 cancels and re-books. Did a Royal late October. Did this Carnival to get a comparison in today's covid environment. We have been on 35+ cruises. As we booked this kind of late. We did not have a lot balcony choices. Our cabin was 6456.
We did the any time timing. Had to use the app to tell the system we were ready to eat. ...
My Wife and I cruised on the Glory Aug. 14-21, 2022. We had a fun week. As we get older we look at different parts of a cruise that make it fun. This cruise we didn't attend any Shows in the Amber Lounge and we normally see them all. We didn't play Bingo at all. My wife spends a little time in the casino and she enjoyed that. I put my $25 free play in the $1 machine and it lasted 31 pops. I was ...
We did the Montego Bay, Grand Cayman & Cozumel itinerary. All the ports were nice, well timed and friendly. The ship itself was very clean & well maintained. Our balcony cabin on deck 7 was roomy enough for 3 of us (we also had an oceanview cabin for our group) and our cabin stewardess did a fine job taking care of it and us. The food in the main dining room was outstanding breakfast & dinner on ...
My wife and I have been on 16 cruises each, inclusive of this one. We had a balcony room on Deck 6 fore. The room was excellent, although it lacked air conditioning the first two nights. They made it up by turning the room into a meat locker for the rest of the cruise. Our cabin steward was truly outstanding. We ate breakfast and lunch in the lido buffet restaurant on Deck 9 and dinner in the ...
