Review summary

This was our first time on the Glory. We really enjoyed the spa on the Nassau port day and day at sea. In the evening, the buffet service/cleaning is reduced from the breakfast and lunch. It seems they may have been more short staffed. We had breakfast x 1 in dining room on the Sea day - very good steak and eggs. Very good service in dining room. Was disappointed that there were not more outdoor, cushioned seating and lounging areas throughout the open decks, especially since we had only 1 day off the ship. Great specialty pizzas without extra fee on most of them.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Very good embarkation day buffet, also loved the catfish, mac n cheese in the dining room. Favorite soups on buffet - Cream of mushroom soup and the parched pig ale and cheddar soup. Buffet lines crowded at time and other areas of buffet closed early. Dining room x 1 breakfast and one time for dinner. Loved the Blue Iguana for breakfast and lunch! Excellent pizza! Would like to see the Java cafe serve coffee in real cups instead of paper cups. Then I would have bought a specialty coffee!

Onboard Activities

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Loved the Riff tide group on the 3rd deck center area. Would like to have seen more Latin and Caribbean music though in the evening shows - so much rock. Did not have any broadway type show.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Great storage space, 3 mirrors in cabin in addition to the bathroom. Excellent service by our cabin steward, Dennis. The mattress needed to be replaced though. The topper could not cover up the broken spring or something hard under the topper.
