Review summary

I prefer the smaller ships and this is what we got with Glory. Didn't seem too congested and was ample seating available. Our bad for sailing in summer, as we normally go December through April when the weather is more pleasant. This cruise was relaxing and enjoyable and we met some great people to call friends. The only disappointment was the piano bar where I believe I could sing better in the shower than this entertainment! All other entertainment was great and had talent to fully entertain.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food and beverages were great with the exception of anytime dining which is crazy on the HUB app. One dinner we decided on buffet after day at Cozumel and four young men were seated at a handicap table with one being shirtless and a large sombrero to draw attention. Not very appetizing and management was nearby but did nothing

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The musical stage shows were great. Throughout the ship various musicians had variety and were enjoyable. The reason for the 3 star is the piano bar with Alistair was the worse entertainment we have ever heard on a ship. He could play the piano but once he began singing it was monotone and in a sing key no matter what key he was playing on the piano. It was painful having cocktails at Alchemy and listening along with watching people leave and making comments. This wasn't just an off night but every night the piano bar was open. This is normally one are of the ship that is full in the evening after dinner, but not this one.

For the age of Glory, it is being maintained very well. Clean and all in order

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Room was very clean and the cabin steward took care and cleaned daily. Only issue, and I did not mention to steward but there was not bar soap at sink to wash hands.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Seems like everyone was trying to get off the ship at one time. Very crowded until we got outside the terminal. The face recognition system was effortless and so much better than waiting in lines for immigration.
