Review summary
This cruise was a back to back on Carnival Glory. We had already done a 10 night cruise from Miami to San Juan, and this was the next leg...San Juan to Miami. The itinerary was why we chose this cruise. We went all the way down to Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao, 3 islands we had never visited. We thoroughly enjoyed the itinerary and had many new experiences at each port.
The cruise was a Journeys cruise, so extra things going on onboard the ship. The only complaint we had was that the entertainment didn't change on the two back to back cruises. So all the shows and movies were the same. They did bring in different comedians, but that was it. Even the Journeys activities were the same again. That was disappointing.
Overall, spending 21 nights on the same ship was okay. But because of the issues with repeated entertainment, we've decided to take one cruise, then change to a different ship or cruiseline for the 2nd cruise, rather than stay on the same ship. It may mean having to overnight in port one night, as we've done in the past, but that's okay. We may find a cruise we'd like that is going out the same day we return to port. It will just make for a more interesting trip with not having to repeat the entertainment.
Also, we were very disappointed with Carnival's All American menu in the main dining room. It is boring, nothing special at all. It's like any menu in a family restaurant at home. Very, very disappointing! We usually choose Carnival as our main cruise line. However, the food is an important part of the cruise experience so we are going to check out some different cruise lines for our next cruise.
