Carnival Glory Review

Additional details
We traveled the last week in May 2014. I usually prefer December-February for my cruises, but this one was an anniversary gift. I enjoyed the more muted decor of the Glory. Just about everything felt a little more upscale with only a few places that seemed more old-Carnival (I'm looking at you White Heat Lounge.)
Things were a little rushed and haphazard embarkation morning because of a Customs inspection. Somehow they messed up our VIFP status and we were going to join the couple of thousand unhappy people in the terminal. After speaking with a lady at the counter where you pick up your Sail and Sign cards (Blue?!?!) we were ushered to a back office that quickly and politely fixed the mishap and had us on the way to priority boarding.
Onboard it was great cruise life. I love the middle America feel where your well-heeled are laughing and joking with the first-timers. I'll focus on unique likes:
Cabin Review
Clean, comfortable, and Louis was fantastic. Attentive and always everywhere it seemed. The balcony was a let down. It was very short. We were under the Lido deck, so it was loud at times at night (chairs moving, etc. Music was not a problem.) Could not get a lot of sun, but the view was great. There were no obstructions to the view.But there was an obstruction in the bathroom. When using the shower, the overflow drain outside the shower would start to slowly fill the bathroom. This prompted very short showers before it could become a problem that a well-placed towel could not fix. Ran to find Louis who handled it immediately with maintenance by the time we came back from dinner. No further problems after that.
