Review summary

This was our fifth cruise with Carnival. The staff has been wonderful on every cruise and they didn't disappoint us on the Glory. However, they may have been understaffed. The other cruises we have taken were very clean and the cleaning crew were always at work cleaning from top to bottom. The Glory felt and looked dirty, and we seldom saw anyone cleaning. We laid out everyday and not once were we asked if we would like something to drink. On past cruises, we were asked frequently. Our table of 8 for evening dinner had only 1 server for several evenings. We had to leave before dessert if we wanted to catch a show. Each cruise I like to book a massage. All through my massage I heard loud banging above me. On vacation you want to relax, and the spa is suppose to be relaxing. I was told the kids carnival was just above the spa area and the kids were jumping up and down making the noise. I love children, I have 5 beautiful grandchildren, but again, you pay for a massage to relax. I should say however, the massage was amazing! I read that the boat was renovated in 2012, but it was the least attractive of the carnival boats I've been on. I heard that from many other passengers as well. I still rated it a 2, because you can't beat the way you're treated by the staff that they did have on board. :) We've always been treated wonderfully by all the staff on all of our Carnival cruises!

The food was delicious! No complaints there! Just letting everyone know the quality of the ship compared to other Carnival ships.

I have sailed on the Glory with some friends and we all had a great time.  I am always surprised with the quality of the food that Carnival serves considering the prices.

I was on the Glory last October and the staff then was also not so great.  The front desk had long lines and bad attitudes not being helpful at all.  After this cruise I was on the Carnival Imagination and the staff was great.

I'm sorry, it was the Glory. We recently sailed on the Liberty and had a wonderful experience!
