Review summary

I will say that the Carnival cruise wasn't terrible but wasn't great either. We ate at the Emerald steakhouse a so called 5 star steakhouse but I could have got a better steak at the Outback all 3 of our steaks were so rare when we all ordered them medium the Calamari was excellent but the blue cheese salad dressing was the worst I ever had. As far as the ship it was fine but really lacks quality entertainment with the exception of the comedy club. I also hate that they advertise the Italian specialty restaurant on their website but it's no longer on board. I will not stray from Norwegian Cruise Line again.

The Italian Restaurant has never been on Glory. Sorry this wasn't made clear to you.

Sorry you had this experience. Going on our 9th Carnival cruise in 6 days. They've all been great. We sailed Glory once to Canada. Loved it all.

We agree with you after sailing exclusively on Carnival for some time. Carnival still has the best comedy set up fleet wide. One exception to Carnival and comedy is the "Quest" game on Royal fleet. Funniest show floating

We ate at the steakhouse on the glory and it was excellent and well worth the cost. Also the glory was one our favorite ships!

The Italian Restaurant is not advertised for that ship. Some ships has it and its listed under dining but Glory isn't one of them.
