Cabins on Carnival Glory?

[indygirl76]

I am considering a fall solo cruise on the Carnival Glory, staying in an upper/lower cabin category 1A to minimize the single fare. Looking at the deck plans, there are several cabins on the Main deck (two aft and four forward) that are significantly larger than the standard 1A. Because it's so far in advance, most of these cabins are still available for booking on the dates I want.

 

I will NOT book an accessible cabin if I know it is one, but I don't know if these are accessible, or just random "secret" larger cabins. Does anyone know definitively about any of these?

 

Aft: 2462 and 2465

Forward: 2201, 2202, 2206, 2207

 

Thanks for your help! Happy cruising! :)

Unfortunately Carnival does not use a symbol for accessible cabins in their literature, which is a BAD thing on their part.

I suggest you call the cruise line and ask specifically if those rooms are HC accessible or not, they SHOULD know.

Thank you so much - that's exactly what I needed. Looks like I can book any of those with a clear conscience. :)
