backnine05 Posted July 25, 2014 #52 Share Posted July 25, 2014 we sail Aug 16 and since it will be our 3rd time sailing western, we have no excursions planned. It's our annual adult only vacation and this time we are determined to relax and enjoy all the parts of ship we never get too because we are either off the ship or on the ship with everyone else. So glad you're doing this review. I have Alchemy bar on my list...do they have a tasting event/menu? How early did you return to ship for lunch? Arianna - do you and your party have any interest in splitting a victor Bowden tour in Roatan? I just noticed you are on the same cruise as my wife and I. We are using the tour to go to west bay beach. It is $25 /pp. we are looking for other to split the tour with to try and cut down our current $40/pp cost. Let me know! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onegroundcafe Posted July 25, 2014 Author #59 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Platinum Gift was a coffee mug with a black lid. We got the chocolate delights delivered to our room. The casino delivered a cookie plate with chocolate chip cookies, white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, and oatmeal raisin cookies They also delivered a plate of chocolate covered strawberries. Our room steward was Neen, she was great. Ice is no longer in cabins you have to ask for ice from your room steward. If you have any questions I will be happy to answer them. Thank you for taking the time to read this review and happy sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backnine05 Posted July 25, 2014 #60 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Excellent review. Is making me very excited for my upcoming cruise on her in a few weeks. Do you happen to have copies of the dining room menus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onegroundcafe Posted July 26, 2014 Author #62 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I do not have the dinner/dessert menus but I think zycodocruiser has some their website. The menu is changing but their website is fairly accurate to what you will get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onegroundcafe Posted July 26, 2014 Author #66 Share Posted July 26, 2014 beachesanywhere-you are welcome, it was fun to do and to re-live it. The Glory was a fun ship and I loved the ports. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Have a great time on your trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit72 Posted July 26, 2014 #67 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Thanks for sharing your cruise with us....I'll be on the Glory in 83 days but who's counting...lol. I have been on a 2.0 ship already so it seems that its pretty similar. Awesome that your DH won the free cruise...how did he win it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onegroundcafe Posted July 26, 2014 Author #68 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Rabbit72-We are not sure how he won it? He was playing in the casino the last night and one of the Carnival employees handed him an envelope and said it was for him. He opened it later and it was for a free 3 to 8 day cruise for two.

jackparts Posted July 27, 2014 #69 Share Posted July 27, 2014 We will be on the Glory over Thanksgiving and are looking for some family friendly beaches in St Thomas, San Juan and Grand Turk. Hoping that past and future cruisers may have some recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onegroundcafe Posted July 27, 2014 Author #70 Share Posted July 27, 2014 jackparts-Grand Turk the port is right at the beach no need to find a beach. They have a section where kids have inflatable water toys to climb on for a fee and a place you can purchase pony rides. The beach also has its own resident dogs (including Topher of Jack's Shack fame) that are very tame and kid friendly. San Juan isn't known for its beaches, it is more of a downtown city port you can take free trolleys to the forts and kids get in free, 5.00 for adults and you can get into both forts for that St. Thomas has a plethora of beaches but for kid friendly I'd recommend Coki or Magen's Bay, entrance into Magen's is 4.00 but kids get in free...Coki is next to Coral World, a cool place for children. We went with our 8 year old daughter. She loved Grand Turk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onegroundcafe Posted July 28, 2014 Author #73 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Rooster1961-It was fun, but very hot! I want to go on the Liberty, did you like it? It is on my bucket list. First Sunshine, then Breeze, then Liberty. My favorite so far is the Valor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Sunshine, then Breeze, then Liberty. My favorite so far is the Valor. yes, it was ok but there were a lot of the coffee machines and ice cream machines broken the entire cruise. Did you guys have a Guys Burger on there or a Fish and Chips? I was eating Guys Burgers when I saw you guys pull out around 3-330pm. How did you like the Glory?
