cruisinRNfromdenver Posted July 19, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I have a friend at work asking for my advice. They are looking at taking their first cruise in November. She is looking at the 7 day on the Splendor, but we noticed that the Glory has the same ports, just in different order. Which would you prefer, and why, Splendor or the Glory? I haven't been on either one. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidimom Posted July 20, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Glory has all the upgrades, Splendor does not. 1st cruise, Glory! Eric the Cruise Director is the best! Service was great. Splendor didn't get the upgrades and will be leaving for China soon. We are cruising on her in September, but when we booked, we were under the impression she would be upgraded before ours but Carnival changed their minds:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinRNfromdenver Posted July 20, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Thanks for your response. That is a big difference. Will encourage the Glory then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pink roses Posted July 20, 2016 #8 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I went on the Glory with my sisters and we loved the service, Dining the maitre D sung (well) most nights, and the ship was beautiful. I realize the staff can change not sure about the maitre D, but he was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgratru Posted July 20, 2016 #9 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Glory.....Splendor is ugly ship, no 2.0 upgrades and seems to have a not so nice working environment for staff...all seemed stressed and sad...loved the Glory for positive and friendly atmosphere. While being on any ship is better than not cruising, Splendor is the only ship I have been on that I would not rebook.

jamaica4us Posted August 6, 2016 #10 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I heard Splendor will be in for upgrades 3/2017. We sail 7/2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrufy Posted August 6, 2016 #11 Share Posted August 6, 2016 We have cruised on Glory 4 times to the eastern, western, and southern Caribbean, with a 5th coming up. The ship has the 2.0 upgrades, the crews were great and the ship is like new. We have never cruised on Splendor. The same itineries I would choose Glory.
