First time on the Glory. Will not sail on her again. The ship is nice but its geared mostly towards the older crowd. Not much for kids to do, waterworks was disappointing. We had 1 of the 2 Captains suites, the room was great. Buffet was ok, at best.

The 'Epic Rock show' was disappointing. The singer's sounded like they were screaming into the mic. The dancing was like something you would see in an adult only bar.

The kids club itself was great. The staff were amazing. We have 2 kids in camp ocean sharks. They didnt have really anything else for kids to do. Unless they were in the club. As far as having great expectations, not true. I was using my families previous cruises as examples. And we went in to this so excited and looking forward to it. I dont really have complaints with the ship itself. It was more the people on board. The staff we had for dinner was amazing. Certain members of the FunSquad were good. But the activities and the crowd were not my style. This ship is not very kid friendly. The waterworks was an after thought and it shows. Me personally will not sail on the Glory again. Personal preference to bigger, newer ships with a crowd in the same generation as myself. Not a fan of being stared at as me and my family are walking around the ship minding our own business.

I understand. I wasn't too thrilled with Glory. I think she's due for a true upgrade.

Can you explain why you rated Kid's Club so low? We're taking our 9 yr old this year, and I'd love to hear honest feedback.

You have great expectations. But its all good if you all you do is look for flawes. The ship is a great ship. Been on her numerous times Never a complaint. Sad
