Review summary

It was our second cruise with Carnival. We were on all other well known cruise compagnies.

2 months before we were on the Oasis and four months ago on Princess Star...so we can compare..

Carnival always has a very very competitive price. Our Inside room was as expected and very clean as well as the rest of ship, eventhough the Glory is not a newer ship it is well maintained..

The food at diner was excellent, of corse we add one night with lobter, and another with filet mignon..etc Also to be mentionned "Guy's Burger" are more than excellent. We requested a table for two and on our second night we add our private table and so for the entire cruise. The shows were very goog. The cruise director 'Mike' from the U.K. was excellent. Unfortunetly for us, there was no appropriate band or dj to danse to our favorite danse style(ballroom type).Overall the cruise deserve a good 4.5 stars in my book.

My best cruise was on carnival legend 25 days of fun to Sydney Australia but two of my most boring cruises was a 13 day repositioning on the allure The ship is a solid 5+ but the systems were won the food was good entertainment good but I was down at guest services nine times plus also celebrity equinoxRoyal Caribbean's other line was just as boring the food just OK the coffee was mud

No matter what cruise line you chose there will always be something that someone points outs but that's what life is about ups & downs or we all Wouldn't have fun making the best of things & look forward to the fun. That's how I look at it. But overall I'm excited & going to go for the fun & relaxation!!!

we were on the glory in dec. had a fabulous time. sure if I wanted to be picky I could write a neg review, pillows were horrible, buffet food not great, couldn't find a hot tub that was still hot after 9 pm etc...but instead choose to focus on the wonderful things instead. activities were fun. Ryan from the fun squad was our favorite. guys burgers is delicious!. there's a pizza place that I found out after leaving that they serve lasagne. sure wish I'd known that. food in the dining room was fabulous & our servers were indeed the best! or room steward was very kind. bought some wonderful photos that pixels took. 2 of 3 excursions were cancelled, we found others just fine. swam with dolphins, went to sting ray city (fabulous) & snorkelled the reef off Belize. had the best time!

I'm happy to see a good review of the Glory. We sail on her 2/27 and some of the negative reviews had us concerned.

My hubby and I cruised Carnival as well as Norwegian. NCL was a disappointment. We were bored most of the time. Looking forward to our Carnival cruise on Feb 28th and some great on board activities!
