Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food in the dining room was EXCELLENT. We are "foodies" who watch Top Chef and all of the cooking shows. We were not expecting much and were pleasantly surprised. We went to the upcharge steakhouse one evening and found it to be very good. The next night we went to the dining room and were offered many of the same choices with less "presentation", but well prepared and delicious. On future cruises, we will save the $ and stay in the dining room. Buffet was good, but average. Variety of food choices and availabilty was amazing. Something for everyone any time you want it!

Entertainment

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Availabilty was excellent. Our only child chose not to participate. Most children did and it seemed that parents and children enjoyed the experience.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Friendly, gracious, excellent service!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The crew handed maps out upon arrival. You will need this! I felt that the layout was confusing but very spacious. The ship was VERY clean. I was impressed with the Purell dispensers and gloves worn by food staff and cabin stewards.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Comfortable, roomy, well laid out. We had a balcony room.

Ports of call

Halifax, Nova Scotia

3 out of 5
Beautiful weather, but hot. We regret not kayaking.

Saint John, New Brunswick

3 out of 5
Poor weather. We toured the town on our own rather than paying $40 per person for the tour bus. Others who visited reversing falls did not seem too impressed.

Pros: Food, activities and amenities on ship

Cons: It was all good

Recommends Carnival Glory? Yes!
