REDWITCH13 Posted May 3, 2008 #1 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Has anyone been on this ship? What is the closest airport to this port and how far is it to the port? Thanks you Darlene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucyddr Posted May 3, 2008 #2 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Going to be on Glory for the first time this New Years... As for airports, Orlando (MCO) is the closest and is less than a 1 hour drive to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeMeAway1001 Posted May 3, 2008 #3 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Great ship! We are going on her for the second time this October. As for MCO and PC I love flying into MCO and leaving from PC has been great for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted May 3, 2008 #4 Share Posted May 3, 2008 We're going for our second time in Nov. We did Eastern in '06 and we're doing western this time. There are multiple threads about Glory on this site. It's still a fairly new ship (like 5 years old) and we really enjoyed our cruise on her.

bakechef Posted May 3, 2008 #5 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Wonderful ship, wonderful crew. The Orlando airport is about a 45 minute drive from the port, many rent a car for a day, and there is also a reasonably priced shuttle that makes the trip, I think it is called the Cocoa beach Shuttle. This is an awesome port to depart from, Cocoa Beach isn't a big city so when spending the night before we were able to find our way around very easily, most everything you need is on one main road.

Rare finoky Posted May 3, 2008 #6 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Like the other posters have said, Orlando is the closest airport to Port Canaveral. It's a straight shot down the Bee Line. Very nice port to sail out of. Embarkation for us on the Glory was very easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flem1064 Posted May 3, 2008 #8 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Has anyone been on this ship?What is the closest airport to this port and how far is it to the port? Actually, Melbourne International Airport (MLB) is almost half the distance than Orlando (MCO) to the port. Driving times will not be half, because you're on slower roads than the Beachline. The problem/s with MLB is reduced flight choices, fewer airlines and usually higher fares. Nice little airport, very easy to get in/out, but nowhere near the selection of flights.

balcony bound Posted May 3, 2008 #9 Share Posted May 3, 2008 You will have an OUTSTANDING time on Glory, wonderful ship and friendly crew. If you drive from the Orlando airport, just look for the signs that say 528 East, and it will take you right to the port. I don't think we have enough time off to sail her again before she moves, but I would if I could:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice port to sail out of. Embarkation for us on the Glory was very easy. Actually, they changed the name from Bee Line to Beach Line. It is still 528 and it is still a toll road. I just mentioned this so the op doesn't look for the Bee Line and waste a lot of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaufortcruiser Posted May 4, 2008 #18 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Just got back yesterday after a wonderful week on the Glory. We did the eastern itinerary, and really enjoyed it.:) The staff on board was outstanding and very professional. Our room steward Alfred was a hoot. In particular, Joseph, the Golden dining room Maitre'D was really "supercharged".:eek: If you are in the Golden dining room be ready for shhhhhowtime. Have a great cruise.

Nanatochase Posted May 4, 2008 #22 Share Posted May 4, 2008 We just returned on the 26th from the Glory. I am a die hard RCCL fan, but found that the Glory was GREAT ! ! Many things I liked better than RCCL, but other things I liked better on RCCL. I will definately cruise on Carnival again. I was that pleased. You will love the Glory. A great ship and great staff. I love leaving from Port Canaveral. My favorite port by far. Have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samiam519 Posted May 5, 2008 #23 Share Posted May 5, 2008 So great to hear such good Glory stories! We cruise in 6 days and are really excited to be doing the Eastern itinerary. We also love Port Canaveral. First time on Glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
