Carnival Glory

7 Night Canada/New England (New York Roundtrip)

Sail date: September 17, 2011

Ship: Carnival Glory

Cabin type: Inside

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 13 years ago

Review summary

The ship was hard to navigate thru - the eating areas and other amenities were not clearly marked so getting thru to different floors was difficult. The Captain did not do a good job letting us know where we were on saling days. The staff seemed alouf and no attentive unless asked. The staff was not knowledgeable about the ship in general, where things were located or why things were done the way they were. General lack of service.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The quality of the food even on the buffet was excellent and we were impressed with the menu variety.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The comedy show was good and we also were entertained by a mentalist in the steakhouse, which we found amazing.

Service and Staff

Again, we hired our own taxi driver and saw it all. The Bay of Fundy is amazing and we were fortunate to see low and high tides.

Halifax, Nova Scotia

We hired our own taxi and spent the entire day with him - it was wonderful!! We saw the town, the shoreline, ate lobster and saw the Titanic cementery.
Don't Miss: Lobster on the beach - it was great!

Boston, Massachusetts

We used the hop on hop off and that also included a boat tour. We did the freedom walk also.

Portland, Maine

The lobster fishermen was the most interesting.

Pros: Food in the buffet was great! Better than other ship lines.

Cons: Overall - staff was not attentive and did not seem to know the ins and outs of the ship
