Currently aboard Carnival Glory

[ginnylee35]

Ahoy cruisers! I'm currently sailing on the Carnival Glory to the western Caribbean and I want to be available to answer any questions anyone has about the ship and the itinerary. I'll try my best to provide accurate info as well as offer my opinions about the Glory experience itself.

Our ship is just about at full occupancy and therefore very busy in most areas. We're in a balcony cabin on the Verandah deck (8th floor). 24 hours into our cruise, we're pleased with our experience so far. The ship is in very good shape and all of the staff we've encountered have been friendly and helpful.

If anyone has any questions about the cruise, let me know and I'll do my best to respond the same day.

Here's hoping for a week of smooth sailing!

What ports are you visiting?

Happy cruising, we will be on the Glory next month. Glad to hear that you are having a good cruise. If you can check and see if they have a live band for dancing in one of the lounges for me, I would really appreciate any feedback. Enjoy the rest of your cruise.

Can't think of any specific questions at the moment but I am on the Carnival Glory Western Caribbean on May 7th and staying in balcony room 8257!

 

I would love to hear your review or see pictures when you return!

If the serenity deck has hammocks could you see if there is a manufacturer's name and/or model number on them? I'd love to get one for home but can't find them anywhere.

We will be on the Glory (4/23) and was wondering about the Piano bar player and the rest of the bands around the ship. Many thanks for any reports back!! John F :)

[elleusion]

Curious if Dustin is the CD and how he is doing?

[kakarp]

My DW and I will also be on the Glory May 7 no questions at the moment but will read your post and think about any questions I may have

 

Thanks

Kevin

If you run into Jordan (entertainment staff) tell her that her Mom says hello!! She should be doing trivia and probably kaoroke along with other hosting duties.

[cruisinsly]

No questions, just wanted to say have fun. Please do a trip review when you get back. We wont be on the Glory until December. :(

Enjoy your cruise. We are excited we will be back on Glory August 20,2016.

Apologies for the delay in response. WiFi service on the ship have been very weak/nonexistent in the last 24 hours. Purchased the Carnival $60 internet pkg and services thus far have been spotty at best.

We're on the Glory's western Caribbean itinerary which includes Grand Cayman, Roatan/Honduras, Belize and Cozumel. We're just leaving Grand Cayman now after a very short stay - the last tender left the port at 2:15pm. We took a cab to Seven Mile Beach, rented chairs and umbrella, and enjoyed the beautiful weather and scenery.

Regarding the casino, we weren't able to stay in there long enough to gamble more than 10 minutes, due to cigarettes smoke - it's very very strong and renders the entire area, and surrounding spaces, uninhabitable, at least for us. We're not militant anti smokers but can't understand why cruise lines continue to allow smoking in any enclosed places.

I've attempted to visit the Serenity area twice and it's been quite crowded, at least in the outdoor area where the loungers are. Will attempt to visit again in the coming days and will look for hammocks.

We attended last night's Motor City music show and found it to be enjoyable - the singing and dancing were good, the song choices were right up our 60 year old alleys and the 8 entertainers seemed to be also enjoying themselves. We've also enjoyed/appreciated Guitar Sounds with JJ and Motown with Glory Days in the Colors Lobby bar.

Other than the too brief a day (for us) in Grand Cayman, our Carnival Glory experience thus far gets about 1 1/2 out of 2 thumbs up!

Any chance you can post pictures of the Fun Times after your cruise? Have fun and enjoy!:)

There are live bands for dancing near the abr in the casino and in the atrium nightly...however, when we were on her 3 weeks ago they were so bad no one stayed for long to listen to them :cool:

[JaniceB]

Thanks for the update including your itinerary.

[rideroftheseas]

Thanks for the info on the live bands, was looking forward to seeing a band like Music Board Walk.

Im sailing on the glory in November on the Eastern Caribbean itinerary and our cabin is a balcony cabin on the 8th deck Verandah do you mind describing the cabin to me.

[OceanBreezeFam]

Hi, I will be in cabin 7359. Can you find out if the cabin stewards supply closet is across the hall or what is across the hall? Also last year we had Harry, Mario and Ron as our wait staff would love to know if they are still on the ship. Thanks!! Hope you are enjoying your cruise!

If you see JJ around, tell him Pat says Hi and I can't wait for some DMB tunes next month!

 

He's one of the acoustic guitar entertainers on this ship.

[cruisin2ccu]

Is Brian in the Alchemy Bar? If so could you ask him if he will still be around in June?

[lgotsch]

Listened to JJ a bunch of times while cruising this week. Thought he was very talented and really enjoyed his song choices, acoustic guitar playing and singing style.

[lgotsch]

For the April 9th sailing, we were in Verandah balcony cabin 8275 and were very satisfied with its setup, location and "quietness". Beds were a little too firm for my liking but otherwise no complaints. Our cabin steward, Brigitte, did a great job of keeping us comfortable and well taken care of.

We spent only about 15 minutes in the Piano Bar, but the singer didn't impress us at all, sounded amateurish and seemed to have no enthusiasm - those sitting around the piano bar also looked like they were falling asleep and it was only 9:30pm.

We spent some time in the Colors Lobby Bar before and after dinner and really enjoyed the Motown Sounds band.
