Better for kids not seniors

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Nothing special if I went to any of the shows and bought a ticket at home I would have been demanding a refund The one show I wanted to see was changed to the performers sitting on stools singing.

Children's Programs

Didn't travel with kids

Service and Staff

It was mostly good

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The tables weren't cleaned off during some of the meals very quickly leaving you searching for a place to sit and then eating with dirty tables around you.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Sink drain was slow. Ordered a king size bed and got two twins

Ship tip

Nothing you purchase is worth what you pay. Drinks very weak, cups souvenirs double the price.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

Interesting place would have loved to find out more history but the tour we booked was awful. The entire tour was about stopping at places to sell you items. Most of the tour the guides didn't talk unless it was with each other do not buy the 2 storey bus tour

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

Weather was rainy so a day on the beach was not fun. Not Carnival s fault but no alternative plan which is something that they could have control over

Blaming Carnival for bad weather is really not fair. Dancers can't perform if there is an injury risk due to rough seas.

Fun time on the Glory! Myself, my daughter and my toddler grandson really enjoyed our 4 days on the Glory. Food and service were excellent.

Amazing family cruise
