Review summary

Overall our cruise was GREAT. There were some staffing issues and food and drink quality issues but other than that it was a very fun cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very smooth and easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Main Dining Room & buffet were subpar. The drinks were very weak and not like they used to be. Deli, Guys, Blue Iguana and Pizza were good as usual. Had the Seafood Shack for the first time and it was EXCELLENT!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Didn't really do any of these things.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

This was a SuperBowl cruise so that was cool to watch on the Lido deck. Deal or No Deal was fun to watch. Lost way too much in the Casino but the dealers and pit staff were AWESOME all week and we had the best time.

Children's Programs

Didn't have children with us

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Our steward was GREAT. The wait staff in the Casino was very lacking. They were short on help and at times it would take 1-2 hours to get a drink. They were nice and friendly though. The dining room staff was friendly but very slow.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I love the Glory, it is one of my favorites. It was very clean as far as I could tell. Yes it is outdated but I still like it.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

I loved the location of this cabin. It was so convenient to the Casino, the Lido, the Buffet and the back of the boat. I would say if you are someone that goes to bed early you may not enjoy it because it is right over the Casino and where the band plays on the Promenade. That didn't effect us at all though. The room size is good and our steward kept it clean. No complaints here on this cabin.
