When you first board a cruise on first day. Everyone is going straight to buffet. I suggest either tour the ship first. have a cold beer at one of the bars. Have a late lunch and enjoy our time. take it all leisure , don't rush anything. Would you enjoy this more as your on vacation.
If you want a quiet pool time for exercise or privacy, try the adult pool on Lido deck, aft at 6:30 to 7:00 every morning. Fresh coffee beside the pool and clean fresh salt water every day.
If you need a quiet whirlpool especially in the heat of the day, try going to the gym. There is a great whirlpool there only accessible through the locker rooms, it is rarely used and has a great view. Also at night both the serenity whirlpool and the aft whirlpools tended to be lightly used.
Usually there were more people around pool at the center of the Lido Deck. If you want to avoid crowd, go to the rear of the deck. There is an "adults only" area on the Sun Deck and the Sky Deck.
TIP: if you are going to book a room--splurge and get an ocean suite and book MID ship as its easy access to all floors in either direction.
Choose anytime dining so you do not have to rush for early seating or miss out on things if you have late seating.
There is some great fries at the buyer joint and there is another hot tub by the spa but it's not part of the spa it's free to use, you don't have to buy the spa deals to use it.
Pack your motion sickness medicine. You will need it. I've been on 4 cruises and has NEVER gotten motion sickness. But the Glory had my stomachs attention. Be sure to eat early, or plan on having pizza or pizza.
Great ship. Very clean, with plenty to do. If I had to choose one thing, I would say that I would have like other choices besides pizza for the 24 hour service. There was nothing available except pizza and ice cream. Pizza lines were long.
My daughter and granddaughter say Serentity space is the best thing on the ship. No children quiet peace..Serene. Check it out. I love the fish and chips area. that is where the adults only pool and Jacuzzis are and It is much quieter. My favorite spot outside of my balcony
dining in the platinum room-make sure you are NOT in the back. it was so bumpy and loud from the engines. I can't believe the poor wait staff has to balance all they do with those conditions.
