TRULY WAY EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS! I have cruised many many times but have not cruised Carnival for many many years, choosing instead the supposedly more upscale cruises on NCL, RCL, Celebrity. I chose this as I was the cruise planner for 3 of my family, 2 of which, had never cruised before. I needed to keep the price affordable for them, but also provide them with the best cruising experience with several ports of call, good and multiple free food options on the ship, and lots of activities on the ship. Spouse and I had not had the best experience on Carnival previously (though this was many many years ago) as far as customer experience, rowdiness on the ship, etc.

However, this experience blew my concerns totally out of the water - pun intended! This was the absolute best cruise I have ever taken and I've taken many! The ship Glory, though an older ship, is updated, clean and beautiful. Staff are constantly cleaning every aspect of the ship. As a health care professional, I appreciated their attention to infection control from the environment to the food prep and service. It is clear, in all aspects, that safety is first!

The customer service was perfect - impeccable from every staff member we encountered, no matter what position - very impressive! All staff were friendly, attentive, helpful, ALWAYS!

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin 8B

Nice cabin - balcony view was unobstructed. I chose this for its mid-ship location both from deck perspective (middle of ship) and mid from aft/forward perspective. This was to ease possibility of sea sickness (two travelers had never been cruising before) and also for ease of access to everything. It was a perfect location. Our steward, Budi, was phenomenal - thank you Budi!! We had 4 in our balcony cabin with two twin beds, one sofa bed, and one pull down bed. With 4 ladies, yes...got a little cramped and messy at times...but we were only in the room to sleep! My bed (one of the twin beds) and pillows was surprisingly comfortable!! It was also very quiet in our hall! This cabin was a perfect choice!

Port Reviews

Belize City

We did not take an excursion here. Belize is about 5 mile boat ride from where boat anchors in ocean so fairly long tender ride. Area where the ferry docks is a typical tourist area with vendors, shops, some restaurants/bars. Would recommend that one take an actual excursion if you really want to see what Belize is like.
