Review summary

From the moment we got on the cruise ship it blew away our expectations, the beautiful elegant party atmosphere, the beautiful decorations of the ship, the beautiful people and staff, it was an amazing unbelievable experience.

The 2 elegant nights were so nice, everybody dressed up it made us feel special.  When all the waiters and waitresses did the song and dance show was beautiful.  And the food, oh my gosh, was like we were dining at a better than Beverly Hills restaurant everyday (and it tasted much better lol).  

My girlfriend loved the Salsa band, they were awesome.  Also different dance places and atmosphere was a great addition.  The rooms were cleaned everytime we stepped out.. it was amazing.  I love the little animals they created with the towels.

Everything, everything on this ship was top notch, the service, the food, the constant party and exciting atmosphere was top notch.  I was sad to leave.  We met 3 awesome couples, one we became good friends and still talk on facebook.

We did not regret 1 penny spent here, and we will totally come back again without any hesitation.  Funny that I didnt even mention the islands we visited ahaha, we visited Half Moon Cay Bahamas it was paradise on earth, St. Thomas so beautiful, my favorite was Puerto Rico with such nice friendly and beautiful people, plus Grand Turks and Caicos islands amazing beach (top 10 beaches Pillory Beach)

I dont work for Carnival im a little humble guy who lives in California and owns a computer shop, and needed a vacation.  What I regret the most of this is not doing it sooner, this is the only way to travel from now on!

You won us over Carnival for lifetime!

Glory is a beautiful ship! !!!! I cruised on her in January for my birthday and enjoyed her as much as her sister ship Liberty. I'm booked for a 2 week cruise on Glory Oct31-Nov14 and looking forward to it! After cruising Royal Caribbean for years (1 short and 1 7 day cruise to be Diamond Elite) I don't miss Royal AT ALL!!!! Carnival has it all over Royal Caribbean! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have been on several Carnival ships, never the Glory. Going on it in two more days. From your comments, I hope that we can have the same experiences that you had. Been on one Royal Carri bean ship and we were not impressed. More fun on the Carnival ships.

I enjoyed reading your very upbeat review.  So happy that your first cruise was so wonderful.  I am sure that more cruises will be in your future.
