I contacted Carnival and was told there wouldn't be any excursions listed until eight to six months before the cruise. I find this very unusual because I have booked several cruises in the past a year out and always found the excursions listed right away! I also am sailing Jan 2016 on the Splendor out of Miami. I don't want to miss out on Faster to fun! Love it!:):)

Does the Splendor have the new menu's??? :):)

Loved, Loved, Loved the Dream…..however the ports that the Sunshine are going to by far beat the ones the Dream goes to! Have been to all the ports except St. Kitts. You will absolutely love em.

My husband and I have sailed the Glory two years in a row with the itinerary of Nassua, St. Thomas, San Juan and Grand Turk. These ports were super. ( We don't care for Nassua but the rest were out of this world.) My vote says, pick the Glory! You won't be disappointed!

;);)

My husband and I were on Glory in January! We loved the new menu!

We have sailed the Glory the last two years and had a wonderful time! Loved the ship! You will have a great time!

My husband and I got off the Glory two weeks ago and liked the new menu! The only con we saw was the choices of desserts were lacking! Other than that our experience was a positive one!!

My husband and I had an aft cabin 9481....we truly enjoyed the large balcony. It was right under the lido deck so you have a overhang over the balcony. Loved just sitting there looking over the water. The only con was it doesn't get much breeze on the balcony. Great cabin though! It had a sofa!

First elegant night is on Tuesday which is a sea day! The other one is on Friday which is a day in Grand Turk!!

My husband and I just returned from a seven day cruise in the Eastern Caribbean. I booked an interior room for $289 pp. I couldn't pass up the deal. I upgraded to the 8th floor so it cost me $339 pp. Two days before our cruise, we were driving to Miami for the cruise and got a call from Carnival seeing if we wanted to upgrade to a balcony (same floor, 8th) for $200. We took it!! So, for $439pp my husband and I got a seven day cruise to Eastern Caribbean for very cheap money. What a deal! Love cruising. We sailed on the Glory! There were a lot of empty rooms.;):D:):rolleyes:

We were in cabin 8438 balcony aft. It was a great room with no noise from the lido deck above. Last year, we had 8434, another balcony aft cabin. Love the location. It is so easy to get to the Lido deck. We always go with port side cabins.

The water temperature for the pools on the ship were cool but once you dipped it was fine. The pool water is salt water.:):o We went to Megan's Bay (St. Thomas) and the water was warm. In Grand Turk the water was cool but so refreshing. Once you got in it was warm. The pool however at Margaritiville was cold.

The new menus are just one page. They offer three or four appetizers, three shared appetizers, about eight entries, also meals from the port which is usually two offered, about eight sides dishes, and then desserts. The desserts offered are three each night along with the choice of pie with ice cream. I ordered an appetizer, calamari each night ( this came in a big dish, which I shared with my husband and one of our table mates. I also had a salad, along with my entree and desserts. You can order whatever you want on the menu. Shrimp cocktail is offered as an appetizer every night.

There are no table cloths on the table unless it's elegant night. We didn't mind not having a table cloth on the table on the other nights. We ate in the dining room every night.

I had chicken, new york sirloin, lobster, ribs, and pasta dish. My husband tried duck, salmon, shrimp, scallop and calamari dish. There are selections for dinner on the top of the menu and also selections from the grill. Everything we ate in the dining room was delicious.

Just remember if you order something you don't like just tell your waiter and he will bring you another entree.

There is a big carafe of water on the table. The waiters serve you or you can pour it yourself. Coffee is served with dessert.

We had a very positive experience in the dining room. We were seated with a wonderful couple who we truly enjoyed!!! We became immediate friends.

I hope this helps answer some of the questions you guys asked!

Just got off the Glory on Sunday...Feb.2nd. We did the Eastern Caribbean visiting the port of Nassua, St. Thomas, San Juan and Grand Turk. What a fabulous cruise. We did the same cruise last year. The ship was super. The crew was friendly, the weather was in the 80's each day, and the food was super. The waters were calm all week.;);):):)

The new American Feast menu was wonderful! Plenty of food to pick from on the menu. Our waiters was great. We had Henry as our head waiter, Charlie who was always smiling and boy could he dance. Also, we had Eric. Always friendly!!!

In Nassua, we stayed on the boat.We have been there many times and really don't like the port.

St.Thomas, we took a cab to Megan's Bay. There were five ships in port this day so the beach was a little crowded but we had a great time. A couple of Bushwackers and we were set..lol We also had their delicious pizza. It is soooo good. We enjoyed our day there then headed back to port. We went to Senior Frog and had a drink. What a fun place.

San Juan, a wonderful port. One of our favorites along with St. Thomas. We walked around Old Town and visited the stores and looked at all the historic areas. What a beautiful place to visit. We walked for four and a half hours.

Grand Turk, is another beautiful port! It's a relaxing beach day. We strolled down to Jack's Shack for a drink. Then spend most of the day at the beach relaxing. Breath taking!!!

On the ship, we enjoyed many funny comedy shows. I think her name was Sheila Kay...was she funny. So much to do on the ship. No luck in the casino this time around!

Any questions, just ask.

It's nine days before my husband and I cruise on the Glory! Did the exact same cruise last year! Can't wait for another great time!:p;);):D

We will be sailing on the Glory on Jan.26th.. can't wait! I will post after about the new menu!

I wish Carnival would stop going to Nassau. Not my favorite port. We are sailing in two weeks and will stay on the boat when we arrive in Nassau!

The luggage tags say F2F.

My eighteen year old daughter slept on one on the Dream and said it was very comfortable.

The club offers great activities for that age. They do allow 18 year old kids into it too.

My husband had an aft on the Dream in 2011. We were on the ninth deck. What a view. The pool deck was above us but didn't hear anything anytime. Your balcony has an overhang so you don't get any sun or wind. Sometimes it was a little warm out on balcony. I don't recall the room number but we were right in the middle. Loved it. The balcony is big. We enjoyed just sitting and looking at the fabulous views.;);)

My husband and I sailed the Glory last January and loved it! Will be back on the Glory this January. Great ship!;);)

I believe the big bottle of water in the room is around $4..pretty pricey for water. We usually bring a case of water on board with us.:);)

We were on the Dream for a week( Vista aft ) and didn't smell it either. I think sometimes it's there and other times not.

Loved it! Used it on the Glory last January and will use it again this coming January...so worth it!

We were on the Glory for the Jan.27th to Feb.3rd cruise out of Miami. My daughter who was 18 joined the club on thursday of the cruise week. She was unaware that she could of joined when we boarded that sunday because she was 18 and a senior in high school. !!! My daughter went in on Thursday and talked to the director of the teen club and she told her she was more than welcome to join. The director told her there was a couple of 18 year olds already in the club for the week. My daughter enjoyed hanging out with her new friends. I wish only we new she could of done it when we boarded. It may depend on the cruise but try joining the day you board the ship. Good luck!!!

My daughter was allowed in the adult club but she did get carded. She also got carded in the casino.
