I went on the Glory a few weeks ago. Got to the port at 12 noon and waited
in line. I would go a little later. It is a huge ship.
I have cruised Carnival as many other ships many times and I thought the
level of food had declined. Rooms were wonderful, shows average, the
karaoke was fabulous with David from England although I think he will be
transferred by now. I really enjoyed the piano bar. - but not the smoke!!!
The lobby has an excellent trio several times during the week. We did self
assist for disembarkation which worked well.
