Just an OK cruise by
A Traveler from San jose, ca
Sailing date: Apr 2010 Pros:
I thought really hard on this question and I can't honestlycome up with anything
Cons:
There were many things that bothered me butif I had to pick one, it was so noisy in the dining room that you couldn't talk to your table mates
I've been on over a dozen cruises and this cruise probably ranked at the bottom. I don't want to nitpick at every little thing so I'll just say that almost everything was below average

First Cruise ever! by
Jessica Y. from Anchorage, AK
Sailing date: Mar 2010 Pros:
The staff was amazing.
Cons:
the pools closed pretty early.
This was our first ever cruise/vacation. It was a much better experience than either of us thought it would be. Carnival always had something going on at all times of the day. The food was great and there was something for everyone. They had their all day Lido bar open for munchers, two sit down dinner times. One at 515 and one at 815, which we found to our liking having an option. The special food feature on the Carnival Glory, as a recent addition, was the steak house. Probably one of the best meals I've ever had. The entire staff on the boat was fantastic and our room steward remembered both of our names after the first day.

Carnival Glory by
Elizabeth B from Seattle, WA
Sailing date: Oct 2009 Pros:
Food was great - service in dining room wonderful!
Cons:
They were really pushing the alchohol in the casino
We had a wonderful time on this cruise. The only exception was that they were really pushing alchohol in the casino and were really over zealous about it.

Super Fun Cruise by
Holli M from Portland, OR
Sailing date: Aug 2008 Pros:
The entertaiment staff- there was something to do all the time!
Cons:
The outragous cost of the professional pictures.
The ship was amazing, exactly what I expected from a cruise ship. It was colorful, fun, clean, great art everywhere and plenty of little nooks to just sit back and people watch from. Taking the tour on the first day was well worth it, we could navigate wherever we need to go.
Ship Quality
Dining/Food We really wanted the ealry seating for dinner but half way through the trip we were so happy we had the late seating. It gave us so much more time to enjoy the activities and shore excursions of the day. The food was incredilbe and our waitstaff couldn't have been any nicer or more efficent.
Stateroom Quality The stateroom seemed small from the pictures but much more spacious once we were inside. We had plenty of space.
Ship Staff Quality The enterainment staff was so much fun and they gave us great advice on shore excursion and the disembarkation process. The dining room staff were wonderful, bringing us seconds of everything we liked. The staff in the jewrely store we so nice, they showed us every piece we wanted to see even though it was obvious we didn't have big pockets. Everyone was so friendly, it felt like we were leaving behind good friends when we left the ship.
Entertainment & Activities The dance classes were great, an absolute riot. The newly wed game was so funny and we loved the comidians they booked.

fair cruise by
A Traveler from Seattle
Sailing date: Oct 2007 Pros:
st. marten was beautiful. also tram to the top of St. thomas.
food was ok. ship is very fancy but sacrificed comfort for glitz. crowd control was very poor in getting on and off the ship.
Ship Quality poorly designed ship for the number of guests rooms are smaller than on the imagination. but i will say the ship was very clean and the rooms kept up very well. also the ship seemed to ride "rough" in moderate sea conditions.
Dining/Food just ok food in the buffets. the dinning room food was better.
Stateroom Quality smaller than other ships we have been on., but glitzy. no place to sit in the small staterooms.
Ship Staff Quality some staff seemed like they did not want to be there.
Entertainment & Activities just ok entertainment

Nassau, Bahamas we went to the Atlantis rrsort on our own. it was very nice and well worth the cab fair just to see the size of the place, althought they do not let you roam the outside grounds.
Don't Miss: the aquarium at the Atlantis is a don't miss. 15 foot manta ray that you can see without entering the Paid portion of the aquarium.
Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas if you are not shopping for jewerly take the tram. Wow what a vieew and the bushwacker/baileys drin hits the spot in the heat and the view is incredable. great food on top also.
Don't Miss: the tram
Philipsburg, St. Maarten most beautiful beach that the boat land that I have seen. no the average dirty "port" that cruisers are used to great sandy beach to walk on.
Don't Miss: don't miss the honky tonk bar happy hour $2.00 drinks and puor your own. so they are as good a drink as you want.it to be

An average Cruise. by
Richard L. from Whidbey Island WA.
Sailing date: Sep 2007 Pros:
The Cabin and service were excellant!
Cons:
The show volume levels were so loud I thought I was at a heavy metal concert.
Overall the ships service to the guests was average or slightly above. The cruise director was a hoot.
Ship Quality
Dining/Food The choices of the food was wonderful except for the number of people served the food was often cold or dry.
Stateroom Quality Size, decor and cleanliness were the best.
Ship Staff Quality Our cabin stewards were always polite and attentive. The attractive towel art was awesome.
Entertainment & Activities The volume levels were too loud at the dance/varity shows. the sound system was often driven into distortion. Spoke to cruise director without avail.

Ship is spectacular by
Kevin S from Newport Beach, Ca.
Sailing date: Aug 2006 Pros:
Very clean and luxurious
Cons:
The Carnival Dancers
This was our fifth cruise on the fourth cruise line and would rank #1 for us. It was very family oriented, fun, clean and comfortable. This was the best family vacation we have ever had.

Belize City, Belize We were very uncomfortable with the crowd of locals lining the fence leaving the ships dock to enter the city enough that we went back and spent the day on the ship. Much more fun.
Costa Maya, Mexico
Cozumel, Mexico A beautiful port. Lot's to do and see.
Nassau, Bahamas

Just another great cruise by
Vicki S. from Yakima, WA
Sailing date: Apr 2006 Pros:
The cabin stewarts were great as usuall & all of the activities
Cons:
They need a just a little more variety in the buffets & dining room choices compared to the other 12 cruises I've been on.
This is a great way to experience the Bahama's along with St. Thomas and St. Maarten. Usually, these are two separate cruises.
