So much fun! We got some great family photos that are still up on our walls... even 10 years later.

Absolutely beautiful design. It feels like you are walking into a dream at nighttime with all of the beautiful lights and details put into the design of this room. A masterpiece!

Circle C

2 out of 5

I was 12 years old when I was put into Circle C with my older sister (13 at the time). Maybe it was because I was the only 12 year old of the bunch, but my experience in Circle C wasn't all that great. All of the other kids tried to ditch me and didn't want to hang out with me as I was the "younger tag along" to my older sister. I ended up spending most of my time with my parents just to avoid the negative comments and actions from the other kids at Circle C. Then again this was back in 2008, so hopefully things have changed and kids aren't as cruel.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
We were supposed to stop in St. Maarten on our last port day but this got cancelled due to weather. Instead they took us to Grand Turk which ended up being my FAVOURITE port I have ever been to! When you think of the Caribbean you think of beautiful white sand and turquoise blue water... That is exactly what grand turk has to offer! Best day ever!

Nassau, Bahamas

We swam with dolphins here at "Dolphin Encounters"! Great experience, just wish you had more time with the dolphins.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

We took a tour bus around the island. One stop was Magen's Bay Beach which is normally packed with people but due to roads being flood from the storm we had the entire beach to ourselves! Incredible experience!!

Philipsburg, St. Maarten Did not visit port

Getting ready for my first cruise ever on the Glory. Looking forward to it....67 days! Are there any negative points you can think of?

Carnival is called the "Fun Ship" for a reason. Always a good first cruise line.

They get a bad wrap, but we have never had a bad experience except with the ports
