"Dining service was poor, VIFP perks were no longer delivered to our stateroom and had to be hunted down and asked for, and the worst thing was the Carnival Hub app!the ship couldn't go to to one of the scheduled ports (my favorite port) because of mechanical problems, folks we sailed with had no hot water for about a day, food was way below our previous Carnival experiences (Platinum VIFP level)...."Read More
We had never sailed out of New Orleans before - was a fast an easy process. Not much standing in line here. Our bags were already at our cabin when we arrived on board at 1:30pm.
We had interior cabin 6245 - typical Carnival layout and furnishings, efficient and clean. Room stewards were amazing. During the evening shows in the theater we would get some noise in our cabin but given we were ...
As new cruisers, three cruises so far, we have been sampling different cruise lines. Prior to our voyage on the Glory, out of New Orleans, we sailed on Norwegian's Breeze and Holland America's Nieu Stadtendam. All have been 7-day Caribbean cruises. Our first cruise was on Norwegian and we were in the Haven so we had our cruising indoctrination performed at the highest level. Cabins on all of our ...
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, ...
I sailed on the Carnival Glory out of New Orleans, departing December 26, 2022.
I am not a snob, nor was this my first time cruising with Carnival. However, it will most certainly be the last. First things first, do not ever take a cruise out of New Orleans unless you are prepared to WALK , very long distances, in glassed-in corridors with the air conditioning turned off. The air conditioners ...
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.

Chose this itinerary based on only 14 day out of NOLA. Do not enjoy Jamaica anymore but wanted to experience Panama Canal and Limon Costa Rica. Really enjoy Bonaire as we love to snorkel at Klein Bonaire. We also became Platinum on Carnival this cruise and we’re eager to see what perks this would bring.
The good:
Embarkation was easy and though we arrived 30 min ahead of our appointed time ...
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. ...
Left New Orleans,with expectations of seeing Key West, Freeport Bahamas and Nassau Bahamas. BIT , hurricane Ian out a big monkey wrench in that and we instead went to Mohigany Bay Honduras, Belize City,and Cozomel Mexico. Ended up being a very great decision,and a very safe one. Our stateroom was very spacious, and I love the balcony. The room was always hot ,( never felt comfortable till the last ...
3 in a row on this particular boat in the last 6 months. I won't get into all of the specifics, but I am a platinum member a few weeks short of being diamond. I also cruise royal caribbean and norwegian.
Here are a few things that happened. A few........I could write a lot more.
1st one - room flooded. Carnival left me in a room where floor was completely wet for two days. The room smelled ...
My Stateroom attendant Tony and Dining room Gusti Waiter was the best, I looked forward to seeing them everyday. They made my experience great. Although the food was not the best, i quickly learned to order over easy, hard fried or boiled eggs to get good ones. The scrambled eggs are horrible. on Lido, the pizza is horrible. Missing so many items I'm use to. The drinks were very watered down. ...
