A: To find out what above and below your cabin consult the PDF version of the deck map for your ship at carnival.com . That will show the ship's decks side by side. Smoking on the Glory is in the casino while actively gambling, and outside on decks 3 &... 10 along the starboard (right) side. Exact seating location along the deck area can be changed by safety or environmental officer.See More

A: The Social plan will cover Facebook and FB Messenger well, but even the Premium Plan has problems streaming videos even short ones like from TicTok. Not sure if the Glory has converted yet but ships with the StarLink system have faster up/downloads.

Answered by lisajane22 on October 15, 2023
A: The Glory is not a Cloud 9 experience ship, so a spa deck level cabin gets nothing extra over the same category on a lower level. Cabin set up, decor, linens, and provided toiletries are identical to cabins in the same category on different decks. N... o spa specials offer for being on the same level as spa.See More
Answered by maryred on July 28, 2023
A: The spa deck cabins are all 2 twin/convertible to king bedding configurations…fine for two guests. Many cabins on deck seven include sofa beds, pullmans, or bunks which allow 3-4 guests in the cabin. If there are only 2 of you, they’re likely offerin... g the swap to sell your current cabin to a group of 3+. For what it’s worth, the halls on the spa deck are very quiet because of the minimal cabin count and the deck is not a pass through to reach other parts of the ship. I prefer the spa deck due to its quietness and minimal guests passing by during the night/ early hours. Also, the showers and steam room are nice amenities since they’re so close by.See More
Answered by HarryMess on July 29, 2023
A: @Mojito4Me, the Glory has none of those extra amenities for having a Spa Deck cabin. The ship was built before the Cloud 9 concept was ever even thought of by the designers. So no thermal suites, no thalassotherapy, and no special spa discount, not e... ven Elemis products in the shower. So the "upgrade" is only a higher vantage point view off the balcony.See More
Answered by maryred on August 3, 2023
A: Be cautious and do your homework before accepting the “upgrade”. Sometimes the cabin upgrade is a cabin that isn’t ideal to most people. It can be near a noisy part of the ship, the view from the balcony isn’t ideal, etc. There is usually a reason wh... y they offer this upgrade “out of the blue”. Not saying it’s not a good deal, just do your homework and check it out first 👍See More
Answered by Luv2Cruise2014 on July 28, 2023
A: Be cautious and do your homework before accepting the upgrade. Sometimes the cabin you are being upgraded to, is in a spot that people might not want to be. Under noisy, busy parts of the ship, or the view from the balcony isn’t ideal, etc. Theres a... reason they are offering this upgrade “out of the blue”. Make sure to take a hard look to see if it classifies as an upgrade, in your opinion.See More
Answered by Luv2Cruise2014 on July 28, 2023
A: Toiletries in spa cabins include Elemis shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, body lotion and soaps. Exclusive Access: Get priority access to spa appointments through a pre-cruise spa concierge. Discounts: Cloud 9 Spa suites come with unlimited access to... the thermal suites and the thalassotherapy pool (if available).See More

A: You can decorate your own door and it’s a lot of fun! Amazon sells some magnets and magnetic hooks that are popular options for hanging. They also sell decoration packs :)
Answered by kaywilli on May 21, 2023
A: Amazon also sells custom door magnets. We contacted the seller before placing an order and had a special "off menu" one made.
Answered by diamondplus4lyf on May 21, 2023
A: My faves are those doors with lights all around them! Have fun!
Answered by Rehlah on May 22, 2023
A: Just make sure you follow the guidelines Carnival publishes at their website's FAQ pages. Otherwise security removes the prohibited items. Like battery operated lights and flammable materials.
Answered by maryred on May 22, 2023
A: In my experience they actually prefer the usd. if you do want some pesos as a souvenir recommend asking a waiter to trade with you.
Answered by Nofilter142 on October 16, 2023
A: USD in good condition (not ripped or drawn on) is fine.
Answered by mrsTAM on April 9, 2023
A: We like Pancho's Back Yard in downtown Cozumel better than anyplace else.
Answered by jcb91777 on April 7, 2023
A: Someone said they love shopping in Jamaica. Where do you go? Do you rent a car or something because we did a hop on hop off tour and there was nothing fancy to do.
Answered by MzDrew on April 16, 2023
A: For Cozumel we love Coconuts Bar and Grill on the quiet side of the island. The views are spectacular and the food is great!
Answered by carrieluvsgreg on April 7, 2023
A: @Mzdrew, it’s on the other side of the island. You could get there by taxi, we rent a jeep for the day when we are there. The drive is awesome. You turn right out of the port and drive to the southernmost tip of the island and then follow the beach r... oad to Coconuts. The restaurant is located on top of a rocky precipice. It is a wonderful view! They have a website too. Just Google coconuts bar and grill Cozumel.See More
Answered by carrieluvsgreg on April 8, 2023
A: Our room steward wrote a nice wish on cabin mirror for our 50th. There are so many people celebrating different life events. It would be prohibitive to do something for everyone. Happy Anniversary, and have a FUN cruise.
Answered by ccsvolsfan on March 24, 2023
A: Mention it to your waitstaff in the main dining room and they will bring you a dessert treat and maybe even sing on the night you specify.
Answered by diamondplus4lyf on March 24, 2023
A: Congrats! We will be on the boat May 1st celebrating our 30th also.
Answered by jackndana on March 26, 2023
A: Our cabin steward left a note for us celebrating our 40th anniversary on board. Appreciated that. We also got a small celebratory cake at dinner.
Answered by lsbs on March 24, 2023
A: Everyone is celebrating something.... but make sure it's noted on your booking & you will probably receive an individual size cake & a song. You can pre-purchase special occasion items from the Fun Shops to be delivered to your stateroom.
Answered by mrsTAM on March 26, 2023
A: How many can you safely carry up or down the gangway ramps, stairs or down long halls without impeding others? That's the carry-on luggage limit, which will be different for everybody based on their individual abilities or limitations.
Answered by maryred on March 5, 2023
A: As many as you want. but they prefer no more than 2 per person.
Answered by samberco on March 5, 2023
A: as somebody else stated, as much as you want, but they say no more than 2. if you're not platinum, diamond or have faster to the fun, you'll have to carry itv around until 130pm when the rooms are ready. plus they get in the way while in line for foo... d or drinksSee More
Answered by cortneyb on March 5, 2023
A: The ship is decorated nicely for Christmas. They have a cool tree lighting ceremony plus a special Christmas dinner meal. We also got free champagne 🍾 when we boarded, but that was pre Covid so perhaps is another cost cut. Have fun 🤩
Answered by Carnivalfoodie on February 16, 2023
A: Last Christmas they had a lively Christmas production in the theater. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Ship was decorated beautifully!!
Answered by debrabraddock on February 19, 2023

Answered by annabsteel on February 19, 2023
A: Yes but very short cords. Always bring my own, with extension cord.

Answered by GypsyB1976 on February 3, 2023

Answered by cortneyb on December 31, 2022
A: I suspect you’ll be just fine. The smoking section is closer to the pool. Best wishes!👌😀
Answered by Carnivalfoodie on December 30, 2022
A: For standard cabins, 1 N. American and 1 European just by the vanity desk. A third outlet in the bathroom is a trickle charger for electric razors and toothbrushes, it only works when bathroom light is on.
Answered by maryred on December 28, 2022
A: Two (2) inside the cabin. They are right below the mirror at the vanity/dressing table.
