We had been on the Glory in August of 2010 - that trip to the Eastern Carribean. It was nice to see the few upgrades and I still think this is a pretty ship.

We learned very quickly that a cruise to Canada has a totally different feel than the Carribean - not that we were surprised. The Lido deck on Tuesday morning, our first sea day, was not even close to being packed. We spent the morning on the Serenity Deck in one of those clam shells - covered by a blanket! Couldn't believe the brave souls that were in bathing suits taking in the sun. Hubby got a nice nap in though. And tea time @ 3:30? Wow! I bet there were 5 times as many people as on a carribean cruise. But they handled it well. Had dinner in the Steakhouse on Tuesday night and it was delicious as usual.

We encountered 2 minor problems on the ship - a first for us. The first was a defective lock to our room. We came back about 9:30, to find that our key didn't work. Luckily our Steward was right there, and when his key didn't work, he called maintenance. My husband walked to camp to get our youngest, and just a minute after, the repair man was there and had it changed very quickly. The other issue concerned some moisture on the ceiling; we called and he was there within 2 minutes. Turns out it was just condensation from the vent in the ceiling - no big deal. Read more
