Glory review! Just got off the Glory. The ship in incredible. We had a fantastic time!

Day of travel: We traveled the day before. We rented a car and stayed at the Country Inn and Suites. I saw the ship arrive early that morning. I would recommend this for sure. Then you can relax the night before and enjoy the day you get on the ship with no travel pressure. Embarkation: We dropped off our car, they delivered us right to the ship around 11:40. We tipped the driver. We gave our luggage to the dock porters, tipped them $1 a bag. We kept some carry on luggage with us. We made our way through check in and security very quickly. We were on the ship by 12:30. You cannot get into your rooms until 1:30. Once we were onboard, we walked all around the ship to see everything. Then we went to the Red Sail restaurant to eat lunch. We went to our rooms. We had adjoining rooms on deck 2, located right in the middle of the ship near the elevators, laundry room area and ice machine room. It was a perfect location! We did not have a balcony. We had large, deep window. It was very nice! I would do it again that way. We spent the afternoon looking around the ship and taking some ship tours. Our luggage arrived late afternoon/early evening. Dinner dress that night is very casual. We ate at the early seating 6:15 every night. I found this to be a good time. The food is incredible every night. Our servers were fantastic! Every night in the dining room we were entertained by singing or dancing from the servers. We went to the Palace for Bingo and the Welcome Aboard Show. After the show, we explored the clubs and casino. We enjoyed listening to music in some of the clubs.

Day 2: Day at Sea! There are a variety of activities that anyone can do onboard the ship, the choice is yours. We attended a session in the Amber Palace that gave you information about shopping at each of the ports, very informative. If you sit up close you may win some items that they throw out. I did! We spent the afternoon at the pool and hot tubs (that were not real hot, but very relaxing to sit in). We chose the pool at the rear of the Lido deck, it is quiet there, and the hot tubs are adult only. The pizza and a grill is located in the area. Every night we ate in the dining room, we were assigned to the Golden dining room located in the middle of the ship. This was our first formal night. We enjoyed being served and pampered each night. The food was great! There were so many choices to pick from. Some nights some of my family members would order 2 or 3 entrees. You can pick anything and any amount that you want from the menu. Make sure to try the melting chocolate cake. It is delicious! Each night we attended the show in the Amber Palace. Some nights there was a show time for late seating and early seating. Other nights there was just one show time. The Glory dancers and singers were good! We were suppose to see an illusionist one night, but that was canceled. We had a lot of comedy nights with different entertainers. They were good.
