Sail Date: May 2004

My Husband and I enjoyed our honeymoon aboard the Carnival Glory starting May 1st, and cruised back-to-back for the May 8th sailing as well. We had originally planned a Hawaiian Honeymoon Cruise aboard NCL's Norwegian Star, after being disappointed when our cruise was cancelled just a few weeks prior due to a ship malfunction we returned to CCL, for what would be my 4th and 5th cruises with the line. Having Cruised in on the Victory in November 2000 and 2 weeks on Destiny (in September 2001, having to extend our trip due to 9/11 difficulties), I was confident of the quality and caliber of cruise vacation I could expect onboard the Glory.

Our travel agent arranged our airfare from Toronto through the Carnival booking agents, this made for fewer worries related to scheduling and delays. Though neither my husband nor myself are a confident air passenger, we had no problems and arrived at Orlando airport, found our luggage and located the Carnival Shuttle service agents. We did have to wait at least 40 minutes before boarding the shuttle, but once aboard the ride to the ship was a fairly pleasant hour or so.

Embarkation: At Port Canaveral we quickly learned that the time we took to carefully fill out the on-line 'Fun Pass' boarding passes was basically wasted, we had to hand fill out all the same paperwork with the Carnival Embarkation Staff, perhaps because we are Canadians. In any case they were very pleasant and efficient, and we boarded approx. 20 minutes before Life-Boat Drill. We were able to find our room fairly easily, and met our first week room steward Mara (Unfortunately we were not able to maintain the same state room back-to-back). Our Cabin was an Oceanview Stateroom, Main Deck Forward. For the Week of May 8th, we had another Oceanview Stateroom, Main Deck Aft. Both rooms were well maintained, but that is to be expected when cruising on the fleet's newer ships, something I would recommend highly.
