Carnival Glory Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This cruise started out fantastically. I am normally a pamper my self type of person, but this cruise I decided to book an excursion at every port of call. I opted to book one excursion through the ship mate app, one directly from a place in Roatan, and the last 2 were carnival sanctioned excursions. My only major complaint is how Canival handled things in Cozumel. I booked the amazing secret river, which requires a ferry ride to Playa Del Carmen on the mexican mainland. The water conditions between Cozumel and Playa del Carmen were extremely dangerous. SO dangerous in fact this is what happened during the ride on the ferry of doom. About 10 minutes into the worst experience of my life the waves were so high, they were breaking over the top of the ferry; at one point in time, the entire left side of the ferry was up on it's side and the windows were under water, and the coast guard had to escort us to make sure we made it safely. There were no amount of lifejackets on that ferry that would have saved anyone's life had we capsized. One employee on the ferry actually took her cell phone out and was shooting video of people puking and getting tossed around all while laughing about it. This ferry ride caused me to be so sick that I couldn't enjoy my excursion. Carnival basically used the first group of excursions as guinea pigs to see how the sea conditions were in my opinion. We were the only ferry allowed to leave that morning. The rest of the excursions were cancelled due to how bad the water conditions were. What do I get for carnival basically putting my life in danger you might ask? Their resolution was $33. I feel like they put profit over safety by putting people's lives in danger by knowing how terrible the water conditions were. I didn't even hear an "I'm sorry you had that experience" from guest services or the shore excursion desk. Carnival dropped failed miserably in the guest services department so bad that I will never consider cruising them again. Do not ever book an excursion that puts you in harm's way by having to take the ferry to Playa Del Carman.

I would not cruise on Carnival again. The experience was not good, food was terrible and very unorganzied

This was my wife and I's second cruise. Because of my work schedule we ended up thanking a cruise over a holiday week. I feel that the ship was just overloaded. First night our dinner reservation had us seated at a booth with another couple that we didn't know. While I don't mind sharing a table,a booth is far too personal of a space to share. We tried to request another seating arrangement. We then got told they over booked early dining. So we had to switch to late. There were several other couple with seating issues the first night. We chalked it up to first night hiccups. The second day we were in Port, which is where the trouble continued. Communication was so poor for priority debarkation. As it was for the rest of the trip. Getting off always took a very long time and was managed very poorly. The other issue was children. They ran late night programs for them... Then they would go running and screaming down the hall. The ship was not all bad though. Are room service was awesome. All the staff was super friendly. The photoshoot drops we're great. The steakhouse, I can't say enough, please go, and get the table art for desert.

Enjoyed the 7 day cruise at Grand Turks, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, and Amber Cove. We got a junior suite (9205) that was next to the extended captain's suite (9203) and thought there would be a privacy issue but we had awesome neighbors and was offered to come over, so it was an excellent start. Specifically picked lido deck to get to Guys Burgers, Red Frog bar, and lido buffet a little bit quicker. My husband and I just had a blast, our Stewards were the best and knew our names and gave us the best towel animals. We did bingo, Hasbro show and had the best time, while I did the rock show and loved it!! Every night was a great movie, Avengers Infinity War, Solo a Star Wars Story, Mission Impossible Fallout, Incedibles 2, and Jurrasic World Fallen Kingdom, which always included a Pizza Pirate run afterwards! Disembarking into each port was easy and just was an easy relaxing cruise. Definitely would book again!

Embarkation process went quickly, we were able to walk around and get up to the lido deck quickly, but the whole entire cruise was awesome, this was my 13th cruise and I enjoy each and everyone of them.

Food could be better the main dining room door was mediocre. Food options all day not plentiful

This was our first time on the Glory. It is an older ship but the staff made our cruise very comfortable. All in all we were on vacation and had a good time. Food was ok. The food at the Iguana Blue was great. Staff was awsome. Our cabin steward Nom made sure we wanted for nothing.

This was my second cruise on carnival and it was awesome. Already preparing my next cruise!

Nice introduction to the cruise life. Understood all the plusses and minuses. It won't be my preference for the next holidays, but another cruise sometime in the future will be on to do list...

We had a great time on the Glory. However, the ships layout was not my favorite. I hated that serenity was on the front of the boat. I hated that the smoking area was right beside the main lobby and you could smell smoke in the auditorium. It was still a fun trip!! :)

Please spend the little more for the faster to the fun. So worth it!

Had the best time!! 100% recommend! All staff extremely friendly, never once a bad encounter. Amazing food, amazing rooms, amazing everything! Bon Voyage!

Highly recommend this cruise. Four completely different ports. Nice variety.

My cruise experience will provide years of wonderful memories, including family, friends, and wonderful Carnival staff.

I had a very nice time. I enjoyed myself,I would go on another cruise in the future, maybe next two years. Crew was great, food was good. Parents should watch their children better.Teens were allowed to run all over by themselfs, not the crruse lines fault.

Everything on the ship was good service, it was clean, crew members were respectful, and it was a good time

Suta and Felix are amazing employees. Need more for singles to do. Very clean

I really enjoyed the Alcomy bar they were all amazing! Katie and the other two very good!

Overall this was a great cruise and lots of fun. We did have a problem with the sink and shower in our cabin but our steward took great care of us and had the problem fixed. The food was very good and there was always something to do on the ship if that is what you are looking for. The service was excellent all around.

We had a group of 12 and had an amazing time. A couple of people in our group have never cruised before and they had a blast. We had a meeting spot and after we'd get back on the ship from the port we would stop at the back bar by the pizza to have a shot. The bartenders would welcome us back aboard and tell us to sit at our table and they would bring our shot to us! Jane and Bandi were wonderful!!
