Carnival Glory 3/18/06 sailing.

Embarkation was a breeze. Up at 2:30 am for a 5:30 am flight from Maine. Three hour layover in NY, and arrival in Orlando at 1:00 pm. After a leisurely bus ride to Port Canaveral, we sailed through the check in procedure and were in our cabin by 3:00 pm. This was the first of three cruises where we ate and got a "special" before the muster drill. All in all a very long day, but as the commercial says...."we were too excited to sleep!"

Our cabin, 6372, was selected by me for its close proximity to the stairs and also one flight up from the Creams coffee bar. We were also directly over the disco, which was loud on the first night and last night, but quieted down by midnight. No issue for a night owl. The cabin was perfect. Very comfy bed, plenty of room to let the suitcases explode, and of course the balcony. I found this cabin very convenient to all of our favorite parts of the ship. Directly three floors below the Red Sail, and one floor above the "party" floor. After all the eating, maybe I should have picked a spot all the way forward for exercise. Also, if you go all the way forward on deck 6 there is a small deck with 5 chairs or so. Our own private, quiet sun porch. Read more
