Recently sailed on the Carnival Glory. Review is in sections so you do not have to read everything as it has turned out a little longer than expected!The ship was very clean and the crew was excellent and made the extra effort to call you by your first name. Ports of call were Nassau, St. Thomas, San Juan, and Grand Turk. Embarkation was a breeze, no line and was on the ship in about 15-20 mins. The 2.0 additions enhanced the ship and our cruising experience as we really enjoyed Guys Burgers, Blue Iguana, Red Frogs, and the Alchemy bar. Staff was very friendly. There was a lot ongoing on the ship but we spent a lot of time on our balcony. I cannot comment on the shows because we did not attend them but from what i saw, the shows looked and sounded pretty fun. There were a variety of bands playing throughout the evenings mainly on deck 5 and in atrium. If i was on lido deck i was either at Red Frogs or back in the adult swimming pool area were it was much quieter. Carnival has been making many subtle changes in many areas but i really dont want to add anymore to this review.

FOOD: I thought the breakfast buffet was sub par, no changes from day to day. Ugh. The omelets were great the first three days. The fish and chips area was exceptional. Guys Burgers, Blue Iguana, and Fish and chips were fantastic! Thank god they added them to the ship! I also really enjoyed Red Frogs Beer, its made by Anheuser Busch. It has slight berry ale flavors with the carbination of a pilsner and the color of an amber beer. All food from these additions was above average. I did not eat lunch on the lido buffet so i cannot comment nor did i eat the dinner on lido. The MDR was a pleasant experience. We had anytime dining. I ended up liking the tables without table cloths! A cleaner look and they had it decorated nicely. The servers typically turned dinner around in about 1hr 15mins. About an hour with no desert. I mainly ate seafood dishes, salads, rare finds, and dishes from port. I would say about 3 out of 5 dishes i ordered i thought were above average. I also have to send compliments to matre D' as he was always present and involved and very nice and approachable. The steakhouse was an above average experience but i thought the steaks lacked flavor and were pretty bland and the lobster tails were way too small from what i had on the Carnival Legend's Golden Fleece Steakhouse in 2011(Which was an awesome experience I will never forget, nor the 20 oz porterhouse I had or the crew making your salad right at your table).

PORTS OF CALL: We did our own thing in Nassau, St. Thomas, and San Juan(which im glad we did) except in Grand Turk. Read more
