We just got home this morning from our Eastern Caribbean sailing of the Glory. This was our 4th cruise, 2nd w/ Carnival. Yes, of course nothing is perfect, but there really was nothing "major" to complain about. We had a nice time, the kids had a great time. The ages of my kids are 15 months, 3 1/2 yrs old, 7 yrs old, and 10 1/2 yrs old.
The ship was lovely. Very clean. Did not smell funky in any way. Rooms were nice. We had 2 rooms w/ connecting doors, so we did not have any problems w/ lack of space. More than enough places to unpack clothes and stuff suitcases under the beds. Room steward was always on top of everything and all stewards were very pleasant. Nothing to complain about.
Water in the pools were cold, so the kids hung out in the jacuzzi. It was difficult to find pool chairs, but no big deal cuz you could always find a table and chair.
