Let me first start by saying that this was my 2nd cruise. My husband and I sailed on a Disney cruise last fall and I read so many "glorious" reviews of the Glory and took a chance. We were in an inside room right above the jazz club.
Let me also say that if you don't want to read a review that isn't 100% glowing, you should stop now because we (and many others on the ship) were unhappy with several aspects of the cruise. No sour grapes here, just being honest. As others have said, you get what you pay for.
First problem: embarkation. Things were seemingly smooth. We had a full ship but we were able to get on the boat by 11:30 a.m. or something like that. I did feel like I was being herded like cattle a bit, but most frustrating was as soon as we got in the terminal we got a little photocopy of a paper saying "sorry, we changed your itinerary" and they switched the days we would be in Belize and Honduras. Not a big deal to someone who books excursions through Carnival, but I had already paypaled Major Tom's people $100 for my husband and I to cave tube on May 20. Surprise, surprise.... I wasn't going to be there until May 21.
