We just returned from a seven night cruise on the Glory. I read a lot of reviews AFTER I booked this cruise. I have cruised on Carnival 4 times before this.
When we got to Port Canaveral on Friday, we spent the night in the Courtyard by Marriott. They have a park & cruise package for $149.00 a night. You get to leave your car there while you are on the cruise for free. We for go the port about 11:30 and got on the boat at 1:00. That is the longest i have ever had to wait to board. I was with my sister, daughter, son and one of his friends. My husband, daughter and son-in-law chose to fly and we caught up with them later. No one in our party had ever cruised before, (except my husband & myself), and they we ready to get started.
I think the Glory is one of Carnival's most beautiful ships. They all had inside cabins and we had a balcony. They were surprised at how big their inside cabins were.
