We're just back from a wonderful week aboard Glory. This was our 3rd cruise and we loved virtually every minute of it.
Embarkation: We flew into Orlando and took Mears shuttle to the Port. Reasonably short line to check in - many agents on hand to keep things moving. On the ship in no time. Dropped our carry on bags in the room and hit the buffet. No problems at all.
Public Rooms: Beautiful ship with plenty of nicely decorated and quite colorful public spaces. I loved the Egyptian theming of the casino and the constantly changing kaleidoscope ceiling in the atrium. Ebony lounge was smoke-free which was nice but you had to pass all the smokey lounges to get there. Also, the Internet cafe is inside the Ivory lounge which is the cigar bar. Poor planning. My wife couldn't go to the Internet cafe because she couldn't stand walking through the cigar smoke. Some more smoke-free lounges would be nice.
