Review summary

Except for Cozumel excursion, we were very disappointed in the ship and the entertainment. Last trip on Carnival!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Good. Got on quickly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Main dining room very unorganized and chaotic. They need more staff. Lido buffet opened for dinner too late...4 pm would have been helpful. Burger joint just ok.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Bingo, pool, shows, comedy club. Shows only lasted 30 minutes...should have been at least an hour.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Wasn’t impressed with staff entertainers.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Staff tried their best, but the wait staff in particular needed more help.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Very difficult ship to get around on-very chopped up. Poor ventilation in smoking areas.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Good size, but dated. Table had a big chip in the top. Window sill was rusted and the rubber seal coming off. Bathroom sink looked old. Bed not very comfortable. Steward did keep it clean.

Ship tip

DON’T! Spend a little more and take Royal Caribbean or another line instead

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

4 out of 5
Spent a couple days here prior to cruise. Should have just stayed here the whole week.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

Took the cruise line excursion to Tabyana Beach. It might have been nice if there weren’t local vendors almost shoulder-to-shoulder between the beach and the water. They constantly accosted you to the point that I only went in the water twice in order to avoid them. I know they are trying to earn a living, but they should be limited to one area of the beach, not the whole area.

Belize City, Belize

Ship excursion to Altun Ha was interesting if you are a history buff. Otherwise, you would likely find it boring. Lunch was good.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Took a non-ship excursion thru Trip Advisor sponsored Viator Tours. We went with Trikes Cozumel for a tour around the island with stops at El Cedral and Reyes Tequileria (with lunch). This excursion was awesome!!! Staff was wonderful. Best part of our trip.

Disembarkation

A cruise is what you make of it. Sounds like you are very hard to please. Love the Glory

Something's wrong if you didn't enjoy the burgers

Go on cruises to enjoy yourself,regardless of which cruise line you choose, spending so much time comparing takes away from your enjoyment time.

Well go to another cruise line. Seems research is not a priority.
