We're supposed to be on the Dec 29th sailing -- all of this is making me very nervous. If we'd purchased the trip insurance, I would have just canceled, but now I feel like we're forced to go on this mess of a ship. Hoping to make the most of it and not experience any major vacation bummers, but we spent all year saving our time and vacation days for this and it will be a huge bummer if things don't go as expected.

I just complained about the "Premium" wifi in another thread. It was pretty much useless. My sons couldn't play any games and I was able to BARELY see facebook with no pictures downloading.

We just sailed with out whole family in 3 interior cabins, and honestly I thought the cabins were perfectly comfortable. HOWEVER, I will never sail in an interior cabin again because the lack of light completely threw off my body clock. I never had a clue what time of day it was and I found myself being unable to get into any kind of a rhythm. We just booked our next cruise and my husband (who's very frugal) decided we had to splurge and get the balcony cabin next time because the interior messed with my head so much. But as far as the room itself goes, I was 100% okay with it. I think a good compromise is any "interior" cabin that has light coming in, like one of the porthole cabins or the ones that face the deck. Any light at all is better than none, IMO.

After a truly amazing NYE cruise on the Freedom, we just booked our next NYE cruise on the Glory. My only gripe about the Freedom was that the "Premium" wifi we paid for was absolutely useless. I spent the money on Premium because we were leaving our three pets with a new dogsitter in our home, one of which just developed an ear infection HOURS before we left, so I needed to be reachable. But no matter what part of the ship we were in, my wifi barely ever worked. And we also paid for the devices to have the Chat feature on Carnival Hub app, and it was almost NEVER working. Very frustrating when you're a big family trying to stay in touch with your kids.

My question is - does anyone know if the Wifi on the Glory is any better? Or should we just not expect to have any real wifi on a cruise? I thought paying $120 for the Premium service, plus another $30 in Hub app chat fees, would keep me from being frustrated by a lack of access, but it was the opposite. Thoughts?
