Just got back from a 7-night Western Caribbean cruise on the Glory and had an AMAZING time. We're a married couple in our late 20s, no kids. This was our 7th cruise, 5th on Carnival. Last spring we actually cruised on the Glory on a 5-day to Canada before the ship went into dry dock. It was OK, but some of the facilities on the ship were a little tired and the itinerary wasn't great. We booked this cruise because we were eager to try the 2.0 upgrades and were not disappointed!
Embarkation was a breeze, we arrived at the port around noon and were on the ship within 20 minutes.
Our cabin was a 1st level ocean view, it was nice and felt roomy. We noticed an improvement with the level of noise from announcements. On previous Carnival cruises we were constantly barraged with in-room announcements for sales and bingo. We sailed with RCCL on our last cruise and this was not an issue at all. On the Glory, all announcements were in the hall which was great. Never saw our cabin steward which didn't bother us, he did a great job.
