Review summary

We've been on the Glory once before, about 9 years ago. Its a nice ship, good size with plenty to keep you occupied. The food was good and Carnival has improved the desserts that are on the Lido buffet. Before, they would look great but lack flavor. We saw new selections that we hadn't seen before and they were much better. Guys BBQ was fantastic! We really enjoyed the ports of call, especially Half Moon Cay. A beautiful place. Puerto Rico was great, we spent a nice day exploring the old town portion along with the forts. We will go on this Easter Caribbean cruise again!

Ship tip

Self-debarkation was slow. The muster call on embarkation day was LONG and uncomfortable. Packed like sardines and would wait for great lengths of time for the crew to do their information thing. There were many people who had to get out their assigned spot as it was too hot and stuffy.

Husband went on a snorkeling excursion and LOVED it. Said there was alot to see. I spent the day on the beach just off the pier and it was very relaxing. The water was wonderful.

Disembarkation

Very slow for self-disembarkation folks. At first, the crew was going to have us gather in one of the dining rooms. They decided to just let us weave our way through Deck 3 and, eventually, we got off the ship. It was a slow process.
