All Things Glory...

[teacher32]

Is Mark Price still the CD on Glory?

Nope, dang it. I was looking forward to him on our Sept. cruise.

[kinggartk]

Mark was our CD in May and he was Great!!!!!

[arph]

We were just on the Glory last week and our cruise director was Butch Begovich. We thought he did a good job.

[NCTribeFan]

I didn't care for Mark at all. But then, I'm one of those cruisers who rarely notices the CD and usually has no idea who it is. I don't do a lot of ship activities.

 

But I found Mark's ultra-fast babbling on the announcements to be rather annoying. I spent years living with an Englishman, so the accent isn't a novelty and his wasn't particularly pleasant.

 

I thought he looked incredibly silly in his long-jacketed suits. Too short and squat for that style, but he seemed to think he looked very fashionable.

 

Whatever. I just have a difficult time understanding why so many cruisers are so interested in the CD. I only remember Mark because if was our most recent cruise. I cannot tell you the name of a single CD on any prior cruise (other than Rico, the hot guy on our RCI cruise :D ).

We sailed on the Carnival Glory Sept. 2007. Great ship! Because of the Hurricane that hit Costa Maya and Belize, we didnt go there, which was disappointing but very understandable. We went to Key West and had another day at sea. We weren't to excited about the Keys, but it was ok.

Does the Glory stay on EST when in port, especially Belize, which is two hours behind?

Yes it does.

:confused: Where has this thread been? It was like it just disappeared and reappeared today.

I'm getting really excited now that I have 12 days and a wake up until I arrive in Orlando and Cocoa Beach and 13 days and a wake up until I get on the Glory!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

[allieprincess]

I get on the Glory in 49 Days! I can hardly wait!

[allieprincess]

This will be the 2nd cruise for me and hubby and 1st for our 6 year old daughter. My first was also on the Imagination. That was in 2000.

[hopelea]

I am so ready to get on the ship. I have been counting down since April '07!! I don't think my cruise will ever get here!!!!

[allieprincess]

Tell me about it!!! I am driving my family nuts :)

We are doing the Eastern on 9/13!

[hopelea]

We are going November 22 Eastern!!! My 12 yr old dd, tried out for 7th grade cheerleading....I asked the coach before tryouts if there would be a problem with her going on the cruise then....she said no, we don't have competitions around the holiday's!! Guess what?? She has state competiton on November 22!! I told the coach she would have to quit if they couldn't work something out. We are going on this cruise no matter what!

[allieprincess]

My dh gave me a hard time about pulling mine out of school (1st grade), cuz he's worried she won't have anyone else to play with...I told him that she will be playing with the other kids that had cool parents and took their kids out :cool:

[allieprincess]

In Nassau, we are doing the dolphin swim. We were in the Bahamas 2 years ago and my daughter was only old enough to do the dolphin encounter. That was fun but this should be fabulous!

[hopelea]

Yes there will be other "cool" parents that pull their kids out. If mine weren't in 7th & 9th grade, I would pull mine out. They are going to miss one day and that is going to be hard enough for my high schooler to make up.

[allieprincess]

What are you doing in the ports? I haven't decided on St. Thomas or St. Maarten yet.

[hopelea]

In St. Maarten we are doing a zip line not through the ship. In St. Thomas we are doing some ultimate snorkel through CC

[kinggartk]

The Glory Eastern itinerary was really nice...I like St. Maarten the best, but could have just skipped Nassau. We only left the ship for about 1 hour in Nassau.

 

The beaches in St. Thomas were fantastic. We went to Sapphire beach and it is beautiful. Didn't make it to Magens Bay, but I hear it is beautiful also.

 

Wonderful trip.

[allieprincess]

Good, Sapphire Beach is on my list! Did you snorkel by any chance?

[jdbmga]

What drinks are included in the buffet, grill and pizzeria? Iced tea, lemonade, and water like on RCI?

[suzyaz]

Can you tell us about the shows on this ship. Did you have fun going to the shows and seeing the comedians? Did you see the Karokee?
