Review summary

For us this was the second time we have sailed on the Glory and things were more or less the same as first. This is a good thing. We have become addicted to cruising over the past 8 years and have loved the new megaships that have come out, but there is something to be said about a smaller ship, it just seems like a much more intimate experience and more laid back. The food was good, not super memorable but good. The shows and entertainment were very good, loved the comedians on board, which was nice because we've been disappointed our past couple cruises with comedians. The ship is fairly easy to navigate once you get the hang of it day 1. Overall it doesn't have the bells and whistles of newer ships but that can be a good thing. More relaxed and less hustle and bustle. Just know what your getting in for and you'll really enjoy the Glory.

It gets hot in the rooms, wish the AC would work better so I could come back to the room and get refreshed by the cool air but that didn't happen.

DO NOT use the taxi cabs from inside the pier. Just a short walk outside the gates and you will for sure find a much cheaper ride to wherever you wish to go. Always be sure to haggle on price. You can get much better rates than advertised.

Belize is awesome but be sure to plan ahead. It is not a destination where you can come and just wing it.

If you just want to cruise around the Island and maybe hit the beach just rent a scooter. You can travel the whole island in under an hour if you don't stop.
