soloadventurer Posted May 12, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 12, 2022 We’re seasoned cruisers with RCL & MSC ( Platinum) and this was our first Carnival cruise. It surpassed all expectations. Verifly - brilliant Onboard the ship from pier bag drop in 40mins and muster station completed. Food no complaints Entertainment excellent - Leon the cruise director is amazing along with Marky Mark Staff - all very friendly and helpful Comedy Club very The ship itself - very clean ( lots of cleaning going on credit to the crew ) showing it’s age a bit but to be expected Ports of call - all great - Jamaica/ Grand Cayman/Cozumel Chef’s Table to be honest i was expecting something a bit more classy but still enjoyed Steakhouse very good Weather couldn’t have asked for smoother sailing Disembarkation - quick and easy walk off In summary - the atmosphere of friendliness from staff and guests will stay with us and certainly will make us book again. Thank you to all the staff. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chikenkicker Posted May 12, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Was Just June still on the ship as one of the comedians? She was on there a few weeks ago and was hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mondello Posted May 12, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Marky Mark's mom posts here on CC. I thought he was working Panorama? Agree, the crew on Carnival ships are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icft Posted May 12, 2022 #6 Share Posted May 12, 2022 We live a little over an hour away from the New Orleans terminal and sail the Glory a lot. Since reopening we have sailed her five times and all five have been from "that was fun" to "wow, that was great." The one constant has been the excellent crew; smiling, joking and helping any way they can. Marky Mark is a relatively new addition as MC in the comedy club and he is a riot. Our last cruise at the beginning of April was a "wow, that was great cruise" and one of the things that pushed it up to that level was Marky Mark and the four comedians on that cruise. Marky was like having a fifth comedian. Glad to hear others enjoy Glory also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pc_load_letter Posted May 12, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 12, 2022 My kind of review! Brilliant! Great to hear you had a good time! I agree with the comments about crew. In my review of the Miracle a few months ago, I wrote how I overheard a waitress say "We love our jobs and we want to be here". Might be just playing up the customer service angle but I've always felt that way with CCL staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tw67 Posted May 12, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 12, 2022 We are getting on Glory Sunday, same itinerary. What did you do in the three ports? Just curious about Montego Bay and GC, since they only both reopened to cruise ships. There doesn't seem to be a lot going on! We did Glory a few years ago, and I can't wait to go back on her!

Rare sparks1093 Posted May 12, 2022 #9 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Glad to hear Glory is holding up. We were on her a few years ago to celebrate our 25th anniversary and will celebrate our 30th anniversary on her next April (in an Ocean suite, no less). Thanks for your thoughts! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amyracecar Posted May 12, 2022 #11 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Glory was our last Carnival cruise in 2019, she treated us very well. 🥰 I love these older ships, they're so unique, if a little brash at times with the themes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNcruising02 Posted May 12, 2022 #13 Share Posted May 12, 2022 That's great to hear that you had such a wonderful cruise. I am considering a cruise on the Glory at some point because we can easily drive to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even mentioned to others to skip her if she was on their cruise. Perhaps just an off night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
