Review summary

The cruise was okay. The food wasn't as tasty as my other cruise but that was a different ship. I don't think that I'll ever do another Glory cruise but I do like Carnival as a company so I'll try their other ships.

I didn't really like the ATV Excursion (not much of a view) and it didn't really seem like much to do.

The BOSS Excursion was the highlight of my trip, just wish that I could have done it longer.

One of our ATV stops called "Mi Casa". We couldn't even walk around or through the house.

I can't swin one bit, but the guy Romeo kept his word and my snorkeling experience was amazing!!

We will be sailing on the Glory in November and again in February, my expectations are what has become normal for any cruise... so great point, some average points, and maybe a few downside things. All-in-all they will be whatever we make of them. Sorry you didn't have the cruise you expected.

It has been awhile since I sailed on this ship so I can't really comment on the quality of the food served now. I did enjoy my cruise immensely.

Did not enjoy the buffets...it's good, but it's buffet food. Dining room food always excellent. Blue Iguana fish tacos were excellent! Deli pretty good, Guys Burgers greasy, but good quick lunch. Breakfast and brunch in the dining room excellent!!! Tea time in the dining room fun as well with yummy cakes and tea

I have been on the Glory a few years ago and the food was good, typical Carnival American Table menu and food.

What do you mean by “the truth about the food”? Since tastes, preferences and even portion sizes vary from person to person, can there ever be “truth” when discussing food? I dislike Guys Burgers immensley and would never ask for another, but a cruise friend heads right for the greasy messy burgers as soon as he boards. I find the portions to be great or even a little too much, but he has often ordered 2 appies plus dinner and a couple of desserts in the evening. His wife prefers bland (in my opinion) foods, but we like spicy choices.

Personally, the food reviews that I find most helpful will describe the food and give info about what the reviewer liked and didn’t care for regarding the flavour and portion.

MrChocoholic The only dining room I received food from was the Golden restaurant. The food was not that tasty, but the staff was great. I ordered food from every other restaurant on that ship though. The burgers were okay from guys, the French fries were delicious. The pizza was pretty good, but wat too thin. The best food that I had consumed on that ship was sushi and the French fries from guys restaurant.

Pretty useful review. Despite problems uploading pictures, they're pretty good. I wish you'd been a little bit more descriptive about the food. Did you try any of the Indian dishes? Did you go to Guy's Burgers? Blue Iguana Cantina for tacos and burritos? How about the Chef's Table? I'm dying to find out the truth about the food on that ship!

At a wonderful Caribbean cruise

My Caribbean Cruise was the best graduation gift any high school graduate could ask for. I loved my trip! It was an amazing escape from the real world.

It was a trip of a lifetime!
