Carnival Glory 6/25/2016 Review with Pictures!!

[Britbrie]

Leaving Grand Turk...

 



 

After we got back to the ship, we ended up ordering turkey sandwiches and decided to take a nap in the room.

 

Once everyone woke up, we collectively decided to skip formal night and go to the buffet for dinner.

 



 

Dinner in the buffet was actually really great, especially the desserts...

 



 

Surprisingly, while enjoying our desserts the head pastry chef and one of the head chefs showed up to our table to ask how the food had been. We had a nice long chat with the two, and thanked them for the awesome food they produced on the ship.

 

What I loved most about the chefs was their willingness to help guests! The food on this cruise was most definitely the best we have encountered in the fleet thus far!

 

Once dinner was over, we went down to the Amber Palace to watch the Epic Rock show.

 



 



 

[Britbrie]

 

This show is definitely one of the best Carnival has as far as Playlist Productions. The cast was great.

 



 



 



 



 

[Britbrie]

After the show, Eric had a Guess that 80s Song, and it was a fun time for everyone. Lots of dancing, drinking, and singing for everyone that attended.

 



 

We stayed at the 80s party for a little while, and then went with some of the family up to the casino... what a shocker. :roll eyes:

 

I ended up being fine with it, because I won $70! yayyyy.

 



 

We stayed in the casino for a little bit, and then went back up to the room to relax and watch a movie on television.

 



 

Up Next: Sea Day!

[Britbrie]

We took our time waking up on the last sea day. While getting ready, we watched the Morning Show on tv.

 

Mom and i decided to go have breakfast in the Platinum dining room.

 



 



 

I started with the fruit plate...

 



 

For my main plate, I got the steak and eggs which I ended up sending back... because I don't like the whites of my eggs that underdone. Gross.

 



 

Mom got the Huevos Rancheros

 



 

[Britbrie]

After breakfast, I wanted to get some coffee so we went up to the coffee shop on Deck 5.

 



 



 

We hung out with my mom's aunts for a little bit, and then went down to Deck 4 to check out the art auction.

 



 

I tried to get my dad to buy me this beauty... :p

 



 

[rjl1977]

Thanks for such a great review so far. I hope Law school is going well.

[Britbrie]

While mom was watching some of the art auction, I went to explore some of Deck 4.

 



 



 



 



 

It was late afternoon when she finally emerged from the art auction, and I really wanted to get my last Guy's Burger of the cruise.

 



 

[Britbrie]

 



 



 

Until next time Guy's :(

 

After eating, we went down to Deck 3 to settle some stuff up with Guest Services and finished up shopping in the Fun shops.

 



 

[Britbrie]

Then it was time for dinner...

 



 



 



 

I started with the french onion soup... which was amazing.

 



 

Mom got the BBQ chicken flatbread

 



 

And let's be real here...

of course I got a shrimp cocktail.

 

[Britbrie]

Thanks for such a great review so far. I hope Law school is going well.

 

Thank you for reading! Law school is going great so far, but it has only just begun! :eek:

[Britbrie]

For my entree I got the Prime Rib

 



 

Mom ordered the Shrimp Creole... which was gross. I mean come on, we live in Louisiana. What were you expecting? haha.

 



 

Finally it was time for dessert... the wait staff brought out a cake as a congrats for getting into law school/graduating college, and for my birthday. It was super nice!

 



 

Since I couldn't eat cake, I ordered the baked apple.

 



 

After dinner, the family decided to all meet up in the Amber Palace for the last show. While walking on deck 5, my mom's aunt decided to stop and check her email... so I told them I was going to go use the restroom.

 

Afterwards, I stopped by a random slot machine... and on the first pull won $60!

 



 

I guess I was gone for a little while, so it was funny when the family came looking for me and saw me with a few people standing around me. haha. :D

[Britbrie]

We finally made it to see the Latin Nights show, which was a great show.

 



 



 

After the show, we met back up in the casino and ordered some drinks. They definitely hooked the rum up in my rum and diet.

 



 

We also got some pizza, and all split it.

 



 

The main pool at night...

 



 

[Britbrie]

 

Mom and I said goodnight to the rest of the family, and went down to Deck 3 to see if anything was going on. The line for Guest Services was packed, and the bar was shutting down.

 



 

After hanging out for a while, we went up to the room to go to sleep.

 



 

Up Next: Disembarkation. :(

[Britbrie]

We got all of our luggage ready, and headed off to the restaurant for breakfast.

 



 



 

Mom ordered the fruit, and an omelet.

 



 

I stuck with my standard eggs benedict.

 



 

Breakfast was great, afterwards we went and collected my liquor I purchased in Puerto Rico from the dance club.

 



 

There were people sitting everywhere...

 

[Britbrie]

We waited in the Amber Palace until our zone was called...

 



 

Back in Miami... :(

 



 



 



 

[Britbrie]

After collecting our luggage, our wait at customs was super easy, quick, and painless.

 

We were escorted to our shuttle back to the airport, and after a short drive were dropped off at the American Airlines counter... which took FOREVER.

 



 

Finally after 1 hour and 47 minutes in line... yes, you read that correctly. We were in the airport, and ready to relax.

 

We found our gate, did some shopping, and realized it was lunch time and we were getting kind of hungry.

 

So we stopped at some Mexican restaurant, I cannot remember the name!

 



 



 

We ordered some nachos, which were okay. Nothing fancy.

 

After lunch, we went back to the gate... and waited some more. After several hours of waiting here, our gate changed. So, we were off to the other side of the airport.

 

Once at our new gate... surprise! Your flight is delayed for 2 more hours! Yayyy. :(

 

Mom and I walked around some of the shops in the new area, and I stopped for some fruit.

 



 

[Britbrie]

Finally, after hours of waiting at the airport we boarded our fancy plane.

 



 



 



 

Back in New Orleans! <3

The Mississippi River:

 



 

New Orleans International Airport:

 



 



 

And with that, our vacation was over. Overall, it was a lot of fun and I can't wait to see where we go next year.

 

THANKS to anyone who read this, sorry for the expedited conclusion... but law school has taken over my life.

If anyone has any questions or comments, feel free to chime in! Thanks again for reading!

Hi Britbrie,

Thanks for such a wonderful review and great pictures. :)

Also congrats on getting into law school.

 

I am thinking about doing my very first review of my cruise on Vista and I was wandering what were the size dimensions you used for your pictures as they seem like a perfect size for the review you did.

 

Thanks again,

Take care,

Mark. :)

That is awesome, I would love to read your review of the Vista. I used Flickr for my sharing program, and used the Medium 640 x 480 size.

 

Good Luck with your review, I'll be looking out for it! :)

Just read your entire review. One of the better reviews because of all the great picture.

We will be on the Glory again in Feb.2017 with 24 family and friends.

We are counting the days.

 

My question:

I don't remember having the option at dinner in the MDR to order a steakhouse item at a cost. Is this something that is offered every night?

I saw where someone ordered a filet mignon at a charge of $20. I would definitely do that.

I love eating in the MDR and we never go to the specialty restaurants. But, if they offer a specialty steak in the MDR, I would do that.

[ExtremistPullup]
