Review summary

Very disappointed with the entertainment on the ship. Didn't seem that Dustin the CD was " on the job" as we are accustomed to. The emphasis seemed to be more on spa activities .

Embarkation

3 out of 5

A little confused. We have priority boarding , had a 11-1130 board time and people with standard boarding time of 12-1230 are on the ship literally 10 minutes behind us. Once on the ship , we were not allowed to our rooms for another 2 hrs. Why pay extra for a suite , priority and folks with no extras are on the same level.

Food and Dining

Buffets were a sad letdown ! Quality , freshness and overall goodness that we had last cruise was lacking. The staff in the Platinum Dining Room was GREAT

Platinum Restaurant

Such a big save for the Glory. We are here every night, just for the service from our 3 staff members. Farida , LeeRoy and Ida Ragus were very professional, delightful and always went above & beyond. Thank you

Again , we pay extra for a suite , we receive extra amenities , but when we watch people getting on and people getting off before us , I seriously question the priority preference.

I'd like to leave sometime from New Orleans. We were on the Glory just a bit ago. We loved it. Personal I don't pay any attention to the cruise director just for general announcements and then I don't care.
