THE SHIP: Theme and staff: The Glory is a fantastic ship! It has a color theme that is carried throughout the ship. All the dining rooms, bars, lounges, and meeting rooms are named and decorated after a color. It's quite neat. The boat is elegantly (to my mind) appointed, but not stuffy. It was always spotless. The staff really worked well together as a team. Everyone had a positive attitude and genuinely seemed to care that we were having a great time. They were helpful and informative. They seemed to anticipate every need. Our cruise director, Wee Jimmy, was the highlight of the cruise. We loved him. He was a chubby little Scottish guy and he was superb!

I had heard reports that this boat rocks more than typical, but I did not find this to be true. All boats rock and there was some, but only one night was it bad. I found it to be quite amusing...walking up hill on second and running down hill the next. Some of our fellow cruisers had a different (and less jovial) perspective.

Food: The food was excellent. There was a 25 hour pizzeria, deli, and ice cream. There are a couple of breakfast options. There is a sit down breakfast in one of the dining rooms and a buffet. the buffet was great and a had a good variety. Everything from fruit and cereal, to bacon eggs and toast, to an omelete station. There are several lunch options. Again a sit down lunch, the buffet, hamburgers hot dogs and French fries on the deck, the pizzeria, or the deli. The hamburgers were fantastic! Read more
