	Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside Outstanding service, great cruise! by David T. from Bartow, FL Sailing date: Apr 2012 Pros: The very friendly and helpful staff. Cons: Debarkation, it took a long time to get off the ship. Very nice, big, and very clean. Ship Details: Ship Quality There is always someone cleaning the ship in many areas throughout the day. Dining/Food The main dinning was always great, our Headwaiter Sedrick was phenomenal! Always made us smile, and very impressed how they treat you! The other meals were very good too, we had an opportunity to visit most of the others and we have nothing to complain about the food. Stateroom Quality We had an interior room, next time it will be a balcony, but we liked our room and the service. It seemed like everytime we left the room, we came back and it had been cleaned and serviced! Ship Staff Quality Can not say enough about how impressed we were with the staff. From the cruise director Trevor down to the guys cleanning the deck all the time. Everyone said hello when we walked by and asked how we were doing. Very friendly staff, Carnival does a great job of finding nice people to work on the ship! Entertainment & Activities We enjoyed every show we went to, and we went to several shows. This was our first cruise, so we can't compare it to others, but we loved them. Great comedians, outstanding dancing, and many other funny shows! 7 out of 8 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside Great Itinerary but Food Subpar by Don L. from Los Angeles, CA Sailing date: Apr 2012 Pros: Value, Itinerary, Entertainment Cons: Subpar Friendliness, Overly crowded, Below Average Dining My wife and I had a great time but the food was below average in that it was dry, cold, and tasted like leftovers. Excursions were great and entertainment was extremely fun. Some employees were not very friendly and looked tired and bored most of the time.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside Our Glory Cruise by Tracy G from Minneapolis, MN Sailing date: Mar 2012 Pros: Shows Cons: Not being able to get in the pools We sailed with Carnival for the first time and have cruised before on Norweigan. We kept comparing them to each other. We like the overall Ship on Carnival better, the size was great, the shows were great, the buffets for breakfast and lunch were ok. The main dinner was much better on Norweigan, we did no have the friendliest waiter, the food was not that great, we chose to eat buffet the last evening meal so we did not have to deal with the wait staff in the main dining room. We wished we had been able to stop in Belize instead of Costa Maya which was kind of boring, Cozumel was ok, Grand Cayman was good and Mahogney Bay was the best and we would go back there. The staff was overall friendly, but felt they could have been a little more friendly.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Family w/young children Stateroom Type: Balcony Pleasant time by Mary D from Western MA Sailing date: Feb 2012 Pros: Having a balcony room Cons: All the mix ups It was a nice middle of the road ship. Small pools. Disappointing promenade shops. Very clean. Ship Details: Ship Quality It was a nice ship. Library small. Layout ok. Could only get from back to front (public areas) on promenade deck. Missed a walk around outside of ship. Dining/Food Average quality food. Meat tended to be dry, veggies overlooked and desserts very bland. Enjoyed the fresh fruits. Dining areas very noisy. Stateroom Quality Very nice. Excellent linens. Ship Staff Quality Wait staff and room stewards were superb. Customer service and shore excursion staff not nearly as friendly or helpful. Very curt- had to push for help. We were supposed to have a crib- didn't arrive until 7p. Baby had to nap on bed. Felt like I was a nuisance the few times I had to deal with them Entertainment & Activities Shows were a disappointment-underehearsed. Magician was laughable. Any activity was way too loud. Left each night with a headache. Couldn't carry on a conversation when band was playing on lido deck. Children's Programs Not available for toddlers. There were a lot of them on board. We couldn't use the pools and there was no designated play area for them-yet we were charged almost full price for the privilege of having them with us. Poor little guy had no place to stretch and play. We took to going to a lounge and making our own play area 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview Cheap, but good by A Traveler from Seattle, WA Sailing date: Jan 2012 Pros: price, ports of call Cons: photograghers Big beautiful ship with typical Carnival decor and quality. The food was way better than our last Carnival cruise. A very nice surprise. I wish the shows were more classy and less raunchy. There was a lot of options for activities, but the cruise staff was not very friendly. Our cabin was great with the exception of the hard bed. The steward was terrific. Love those towel animals! Shore excursions were good, but expensive. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside Great Cruise! by Jackie P. from Long Island Sailing date: Jan 2012 Pros: The Ports of Call ! Nassau, St. Thomas, San Juan, Grand Turk! Cons: There could have been a few more places to eat. There was never a lack of things to do! I've been on many Carnival ships and I always go back! There could have been a few more places to eat but still the food was so great! The staff was amazing, as usual. I have loved every Carnival cruise I've ever been on and this just added to my list of 7 cruises! Ship Details: Ship Quality I felt the ship was always clean! They did a great job of keeping it very nice the whole cruise! Dining/Food Food was delicious! But there were only a few places to eat. Stateroom Quality Room was cleaned twice a day and it was perfect! Ship Staff Quality Love the staff! The steward remembered our names the first day and always said Hi to us! Entertainment & Activities A show every night! Funny comedians and pretty cool magicians! 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Very enjoyable cruise by Jeff T from Port St Lucie, FL Sailing date: Dec 2011 Pros: Good food in dining room, good variety on board. Cons: Tender into Belize City was long. The ship was excellent, variety shows are typical cruise quality, good for the senior set, but would never make it ion shore. Comedy shows were atanding room only. We booked two excursions, the dolphin encounter in Cozumel ($101.00) was worth every penny, but the photo CD, 72 pictures cost $110.00. We booded the South Shore Adventure Zip Line and it was great, 13 zip lines, and a great guide who took us into town on the way back for some "away from the pier" shopping. We had a balcony room which was roomy and had a bigger than usual bathroom. Only drawback was that the beds were a little too firm. Ship is clean and the staff is very friendly. Ship Details: Ship Quality We ususally book a Carnival ship and this one was a food experience. Dining/Food Food was good with a large bariety on board. The 24 hour pizza was good and offered calzones, with about an 8 minute wait. I would recommend the "anytiime dining" since eating at the same time every night did not work out, Don't be afraid to order as much as you can eat. Stateroom Quality Large balcony room had pleanty of storage and a roomy bathroom. Big enough shower to wash your feet without being crtowded. Ship Staff Quality Staff was friendly and courteous, I recommend pre paying the tips. Entertainment & Activities Variety shows were second rate at best. The comedians had standing room only and the lounge music was very good and very diversified. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Does not Compare to RCL by Jason Rodriguez from United States Sailing date: Nov 2011 Pros: Getting off the ship (Shore excursions through Carnival were good though) Cons: Lack Luster to little on board entertainment Our Balcony aft room 8455 was awesome. Great balcony which wraps around which was the same cost as other adjacent aft balconies. You can hear all the chairs being moved on Lido deck 9 which wasn't too bad if your from NYC like us but if you like it nice and quiet choose deck 7. Food was okay, nothing spectacular. Service was spotty with a light crew. Entertainment on the ship consisted of mostly the cruise patrons, the ship had two decent shows, small stage though. Ship Details: Ship Quality Water in the shower went from Hot to Cold to luke warm from the 2nd day to almost the last day. Found this quite peculiar. Also my shower head was missing one day. They were doing maintenance on the ship while we were ON BOARD. They took off the base molding and replaced it the following day. Felt like they were preparing for the next cruise and didn't really care what we thought anymore since our cruise was almost done. Certain items like the Mechanical Equipment rooms weren't covered up, not so much a big issue but these are items that you would like to keep hidden for aesthetic reasons. Dining/Food I didn't expect anything too spectacular from the buffet but the dinning room was one of the biggest let down. Many days i just had a Cesar salad and a cappuccino, some nights i avoided the dinning room all together. Trust me i am 300lbs and know a thing or two about food and i had NO appetite. Stateroom Quality The room staff was awesome! Tip well! Ship Staff Quality Light bartenders at every station, some avoided you all together and when you did get service they barely smiled. Entertainment & Activities Lack luster. Was mostly self entertainment. When they did put together a package it involved you paying something in order to win or to get involved. 4 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Group Stateroom Type: Balcony not what a cruise should be by Jeff S from Deltaville Va Sailing date: Nov 2011 Pros: nice room Cons: dining, signs to tell where to go for anything. the rooms are nice. that's about the best thing I can say about the Carnival Glory. The ship rocked constantly and it wasn't that rough. impossible to find your way around without a map. no signs to tell where anything is. dining was pitiful. buffet was OK but would close at odd times with only a pizza station staying open. would not recommend Carnival!! Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food food is mediocre at best. don't try anytime dining! It's anytime a table becomes available. we were told at one seating that we would have to wait 20 minutes to get a pager that would then let us know when a table was available.
