Review summary

Our cruise was really nice. The people (guests & crew) were so amazing. I'm ready to book another cruise, possibly the same itinerary.

Embarkation

Quick & easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food I didn't care for...would like more "normal" food. The BBQ place was good, salad was good on the buffet- yay for French dressing. The food had potential, meaning it sounded good but then moat things were ruined w sauces that included mushrooms, or other stuff. Pizza crust was way too thin, & choices at main dining were nasty. Bar drinks were great!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The pools were always too crowded. We enjoyed the lounge chairs on deck 10 & the smoking section was set up nicely.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We attended the theme parties, the live shows, Deal or No Deal, Love & Marriage show, Showdown w/ Leon, Bingo, Military Appreciation show, comedy shows. They were all fantastic. Also enjoyed the music variety the Glory band played. Sounds w/ Sal was great. Leon the CD was great.

Children's Programs

No children to participate in the program.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Leonardos our room steward was wonderful. Gede at the Blue Iguana Cantina Bar was super! He knew exactly how to make a drink for my husband & remembered him. Jasmine & Nattiya were very friendly & we always enjoyed seeing them when we ate at the buffet during lunch or dinner. Levender was very friendly & helpful. James was friendly & kept the smoking section on Deck 10 & Deck 3 looking great. Extremely friendly. Each of these mentioned crew members made us feel very welcomed & like we were the only guests on the ship. They each remembered my husband & my name & always asked abt the other when they saw only one of us. Each one always spoke to us & asked if we.needed anything. The staff on the Glory helped make our cruise absolutely perfect.

Ship Quality

Everything on the ship was cleaned & always being cleaned. By day 4 I was learning the layout of the ship. Lol. The ship is beautiful.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The cleanliness was great. The balcony would've been nice to enjoy, but w/ our cabin being so hot, we didn't open the balcony door very often. Our air conditioner went out on Monday & by the time we returned from Cozumel on Tuesday our cabin was cooler. On Wednesday our cabin began getting hot again...I do wish our cabin was abt 68-70 degrees because after being in the hot Caribbean sun all day we would've enjoyed a cooler cabin. We would've slept better, & not been so tired the next day, if the cabin was cooler. I was given a fan, at my request, on the first day, so I'm grateful for the fan, but I do wish the a/c worked better.

Ship tip

I would advise to enjoy all the shows, parties, & get pics made often. I would let them know they'll feel welcomed & just enjoy themselves.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

5 out of 5
Everything was simple while getting on the ship...getting off the employees at the port were hateful. I went to the French Quarter & it smelled like weed & trash.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Absolutely beautiful! We went to Island's Beach Club. Jose took great care of us. We then went shopping downtown. Haggle, Haggle, Haggle...we got great deals.

Belize City, Belize

2 out of 5
Belize is beautiful. We hired a taxi driver who drove us around north & south Belize, stopping at the Rum Factory. Dewayne, our driver, was very friendly & knowledgeable. We wished we snorkeled, but we will next time we visit.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

3 out of 5
Very poor. The ppl downtown hassled us wanting us to see their store (a small booth/square). We didn't stay very long. If we visit again we'll visit the salt flats.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
The staff on the Glory were incredible & the process easy. However, the employees at thr port part, were very rude & yelling at us.
