Review summary

2nd time on the Glory and we had a great cruise. In all areas of the ship, the staff was very pleasant. The new eateries (Sushi station, BBQ place and the Seafood Shack) were all good. The new WaterWorks and double slides were great additions as well. It was a Premier cruise, lots of people, but the ship never felt crowded. Being an older ship, there were some signs of aging, but overall the ship was well kept and I always saw people cleaning something. Embarkation and disembarkation went smoothly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Sea Day Brunch and Steakhouse were great as usual. We had YTD and chose to eat later. We didn't have to wait for a table. The table service was good, but food seemed warm vs. hot. Lido buffet food was very good; always hot & fresh.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All crew and staff were very pleasant. Out cabin steward (Asktika) was great and provided service 2x/day.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship is laid out well and very easy to navigate. The common areas were well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The desk area and refrigerator cabinet are in the corner of the room. The bed faces the windows, which was a nice treat. No sofa in the room, but the balcony more than makes up for it. Aft wrap, 2 lounges, 2 chairs and a table. Loved, loved, loved that balcony!

Ship tip

Check out the sushi station on Lido. There use to be a Deli station on both sides the ship. One of them has been turned into a Sushi station (extra charge, but very reasonable).
