Review summary

The negative reviews of Glory are totally lost on us. This was our 2nd cruise on Glory in 2 months. This is a good size ship: not massive but not small. Crew/staff are so friendly. Dining room experience both cruises was great! We thought the ship was in good shape - see my comments below for more details. If people want a brand new looking ship, then sail on a brand new ship!!Any ship that has been on the water for any length of time will have a few rust spots from the salty air and water. That’s just a fact. Apparently a lot of people just look for things to complain about. We were on the cruise involving the accident with the Legend in Cozumel, and we still had a great cruise! We never even knew we hit another ship until the Captain announced it. Fortunately there were only minor injuries to 6 passengers, and the Platinum dining room was only closed for one night as a result of the damage. We stayed in Cozumel until almost 11PM that night so that repairs could be made to make the ship seaworthy. We arrived aback at NOLA safely. At no time did we feel we were in any danger. We would not hesitate to sail with CCL again! We had a great dining room experience - great food and waiters! All production shows were great! Comedians were just okay. Our only complaint on this cruise was about the passengers- lots of very rude and ill mannered people. Their kids were the same, running through the halls near the cabins at all hours of the day....but not Carnival’s fault. Looking forward to our next Carnival cruise in Jan 2020!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was super smooth! We are Platinum so we were on board in just a few minutes, and our cabin was ready since we are at Platinum level.

Dining room food was very good. Pizza and Guy’s Burgers great as always. CCL has the best pizza at sea!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Public areas had new carpet/furnishings. Our cabin had new carpet and a fresh coat of sealer on the balcony railing. Not sure why so many people are complaining about the condition of the Glory. Sure there are a few rust spots on the exterior but all ships have that from being on the sea 24/7. Main wear and tear we saw was on the Lido furniture, which is typical.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Had a forward balcony cabin. Plenty of room with brand new carpet. Cabin was in great shape.

Montego Bay, Jamaica

We no longer get off the ship in Jamaica - don’t feel safe there.
