campdaan Posted March 18, 2016 Author #26 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Thankyou so much for doing this review. We are doing a b2b on the Glory next year and have the same room. We also stayed in the same room on the Valor doing a b2b out of San Juan in 2013. Love the pictures. I've also had this room on the Valor. How many times did you bang your head on the TV in that room ? The Glory 9201 has the chaise and the couch is a sleeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campdaan Posted March 18, 2016 Author #27 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Great start. And love the room! If we were not so wedded to balconies, that would be my choice. I love my balconies too... but... This room is bigger and cheaper. My GF brought a boatload of clothes and shoes, and the extra room helps from looking cluttered. Balconies are subject to loud neighbors, smokers and door slamming, not to mention, too hot, too cold, too wet, etc. etc. Sooooooo close to the Lido and Spa. I love using the steam room and the showers. With the wall-o-towels. And theres nothing like playing the itunes over the bloothooth speaker and basking in the sun, enjoying the view.

campdaan Posted March 18, 2016 Author #28 Share Posted March 18, 2016 A couple of Ship pics... The Lobby Bar. The aft atrium I was roaming around one of the evening near the Amber Palace and heard laughter and a magic show going on. I went into the Amber Palace on Deck 5 only to see my dear Mother, on stage. Which, by the way, happens a lot... Just another awesome cruise moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campdaan Posted March 18, 2016 Author #29 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Grand Turk was a lazy beach day. We took our time getting off. Sweetie-pie rented a bicycle and pedaled for a few hours around the island, whie I shopped and logged into Margaritavilles free wifi. Obligitory GT Ship pic from Jack's Shack. And Topher... The luckiest dog in the world. Almost time to head off into the sunset... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmcancruise Posted March 18, 2016 #32 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Yes I do believe there was some head banging. Another sweet thing about this room is that in the rain you feel like you are at the cottage in a storm with the rain on the window. I don't know, but to me it just made the room seem cozy. Oh, and I have already called dibs on the chaise lounger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

campdaan Posted March 19, 2016 Author #34 Share Posted March 19, 2016 This room is cheaper than a balcony cabin? Really? Yup. It's considered an oceanview. I paid $900pp, and a balcony room on Lido was $1100pp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
declansdad Posted March 19, 2016 #35 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Yup. It's considered an oceanview. I paid $900pp, and a balcony room on Lido was $1100pp Wow! Never would have guessed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzin2010 Posted March 29, 2016 #44 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Thanks for the review, love your photos. We are on Glory for Christmas this year and really haven't seen very many reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daonlyone2000 Posted March 29, 2016 #45 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I have a question about the room. Since this is forward, do you find you feel the motion of the ocean more? I have always been nervous about being forward of Aft because of seasickness. How is it for you? Do you tend to get sea sick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rideroftheseas Posted March 29, 2016 #46 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Thanks for the review, sounds like you had a very enjoyable cruise. We are sailing the Glory in May. Do you recall a live 4 member dance band in any of the lounges? It has been a couple of years since our last cruise and we really enjoyed this. Thanks for everything.

cruisinsly Posted April 1, 2016 #47 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I'm trying to read all things Glory as I sail her at the end of the year. Yes I'm a total planner and want to know it all waaaaaaay in advance!!! Following! When are you going? We are sailing Dec 3. There is a rollcall for our sailing if you are on the same one.

campdaan Posted April 2, 2016 Author #49 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I have a question about the room. Since this is forward, do you find you feel the motion of the ocean more? I have always been nervous about being forward of Aft because of seasickness. How is it for you? Do you tend to get sea sick? We had some motion on this cruise, and I really have never noticed a difference in front or aft cabins. I think sometimes the posistion of the bed has a lot to do with how much you feel the motion. In this room, we rocked side to side, whereas in other rooms we have rocked head to toe. If that makes sense. And I don't get seasick... or have'nt yet.

campdaan Posted April 2, 2016 Author #50 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Thanks for the review, sounds like you had a very enjoyable cruise. We are sailing the Glory in May. Do you recall a live 4 member dance band in any of the lounges? It has been a couple of years since our last cruise and we really enjoyed this.Thanks for everything. Don't specifically remember a 4 member dance band, but the live music was pretty good. I do remember some of the music was very LOUD. I went to one of the playlist productions and was very underwhelmed. The others in my group enjoyed kareoke. And I liked the comedians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
