Carnival Glory Review
Great time, but very dissappointed this is the last of its kind

Additional details
This was my 4th time taking pretty much this same cruise on the Carnival Glory. They finally upgraded the ship, which was really great. I had gotten bored with the ship and had kept hoping they would dock a different one at the Norfolk port because of that. But, though I ended up on the same ship I've been on multiple times before, the upgrades made it much better this time around.
Before I go into that though, I want to voice a major complaint in hopes that Carnival reads these reviews. We are very, very unhappy about Carnival pulling out of the port of Norfolk, Virginia. We've been cruising Carnival out of this port about once every year and a half and Carnival leaving this port means that we will probably take very few cruises in the future. The airfare cost to other ports makes them too expensive - expensive enough that I'd rather do something else instead of cruise, or end up cruising on another line, which I know Carnival doesn't want. That said, Carnival, please, please, please come back to the Norfolk port!!!
Okay, now back to the rest of the review. On the upgrades: First, they put in Guy's Burger Joint. The burgers on the ship used to be so-so at best. These are significantly better. They're a little more along the lines of 5 Guys Burgers and Fries. Yummy.
Cabin Review
The Empress deck is my favorite and I always say on that level, a lot because I'm not a big fan of elevators and most everything we want to do is either on level 5 or level 9. Being on level 7 means that we can generally walk up and down the stairs for most everything. We always choose an interior room because it's cheaper and we don't cruise to spend time in our room, so we're rarely there. I usually like being in the middle of the ship. This time we were toward the back, which we thought we wouldn't like. But it turned out to work in our favor as that seemed to be the side of the ship we stayed on most anyway.
