We have sailed the Glory twice in 2004. Feb. & Nov. We love the corner aft cabins with the extremely large balcony that wraps around the side.
We have sailed NCL, RCL and Oceanic before ever sailing Carnival. Such a shame that people have a bad review on any of their ships. We always travel on their newest ships and have been using Carnival since 1990 and are scheduled this April on another.
We love the "fun" ships, as they are called. And we have sailed 14 times, which might not be a lot for some cruisers. We have "never" had a complaint on any cruise line. However, we have chosen Carnival the last 10 times since they are "fun" ships. And that is what a vacation should be. My husband and myself just turned the ugly 65 this year. ( and that is depressing) But, we would be bored with a quiet type ship. We don't think we would like the "free style" cruising since the fun and the great guests you meet are at the same tables night after night. You can always dine somewhere else with no upcharge,except in the special dining room which is called their "supper club." We love their balcony cabins. Even better are the "extended balconies" on the Spirit series ships. ( the only way to go cruising) Their newest ships have wonderful restaurants on the upper decks that charge a nominal fee of $25.00 pp. We like some layout of their ships better than others.
