We always choose Carnival and will continue to do so. We really enjoy at Conquest class of ship especially the Glory and being spring it was time for our annual back to back cruises. The service in the dinning room was outstanding and our room steward was also outstanding. We enjoy spending time on the lido deck on days at sea and had enough to keep us busy. Nights consisted of theater shows, comedy, & casino. Port days were mostly spent at the beaches. The only negative was the cruise director, he was never around. He would delegate his duties to his assistant or the entertainment director. Also it is my belief that he was responsible for everything running behind schedule. Everything from embark to disembark to activities to arriving at ports...everything was behind schedule (and I'm sure the captain had a little to do with that) The negatives only affected my rating by one point since I don't allow things like this to ruin my cruise. We have been on the Glory 8 times and it never lets us down. Keep up the good work Carnival, we will see you again in October.
