Review summary

Were addicted. I'll admit, the first day we were stressed but after we set sail we were good. Our wait staff is like family now and we are ready to book another. Best trip ever! Dustin, the cruise director, was awesome. Our room steward was perfect for us as we keep to ourselves mostly so he was there if we needed him but not if we didn't. I dont think we could have had better servers (honestly). I feel homesick lol.

A little chaotic for first timers but that's to be expected.

Our wait staff was PHENOMENAL! Truly made our entire trip. We looked forward to dinner every night just to talk with them. We have kept in touch since the trip as well.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We had heard about the small size of the rooms prior to our trip so we were prepared but shocked that our oceanview rooms 2420 and 2424 were quite roomy for our family of 5. We had plenty of space. Cabins were kept clean and beds were comfy. The only thing I can possibly think of is occasionally they were warmer than I'd like it to be.

Ship tip

Dont listen to any negative reviews. Our trip was wonderful.

Honestly shocked at the process. We took our own bags and were in our car by 8 am. No one even checked them.

Loved finding a new friend in each cabin daily.

Nobody knows what to expect on their first cruise, but once you go on 1, there's no going back. Welcome to your new Addiction!

Your review reminds us of our first cruise, it was also on the Glory. We're about 5 months from our 5th cruise. Welcome to the cruise family. We've only taken 2 cruises with our kids, but having the family with us made it even better 😊
