Hi all,

We are going on the Glory on the 9/11 western itenerary. We were on her Sept. 13 last year and had such a good time we just had to sail her again.

 

dixiegirl,

If I'm not mistaken the port of Key West has been replaced by a stop in Costa Maya, Mexico. I believe this is due to repairs on the dock at Key West. This itenerary change will last until sometime in October.

dixiegirl It sounds like you might have a guarantee room. If thats the case you will find out a few different ways what your room is. Either it will be on your "cruise docs" which in the past have been mailed to us about a month before the cruise. Then on the Destiny our room was assigned the day we checked in. Call the TA they will give you the scoup.

 

carolinagirl621 From what I can tell Glory seems to be like most of the ships. I was quite nervous on my first cruise. Just being on a ship...etc. but let me tell you we were on a small 20,000 ton ship the Imperial Majest crusing across the gulf stream during a rough night . Never got nervous and actually not sick either. You will feel safe and happy to be on vacation. Just take the advice though on the bonine stuff . I've had to take it once on Destiny. We had the dining room in the back of the ship which was kind of rocky. Didn't feel so great , took the bonine and was fine . So maybe you could request the dining room mid ship.

 

WOW LOOK AT ALL THESE FUTURE (and some past) CRUISERS! I'll have to keep a list of who is sailing and when to make sure we give a good ol message board BON VOYAGE

Terry...How did you find out about the change in itenerary from Key West to Costa Maya? Is it posted on the Carnival Website?

 

Mocka...What is Bonine? Is it different from Dramamine? I know I need to take something while on board because I get motion sick just driving myself in a car!!!

What is bonine?

 

Carnival Glory jul 3 - Am I the ONLY one on this ship????

[Gaminer]

Leigh Ann,

It was posted on the Carnival site, but I can't seem to find it now. But if you will go to this link and click on the lower Western Caribbean link, wich includes both our cruise dates, you will find that Monday is not included in the itenerary at all. This is just a glitch on the website. Monday is the day we are in Costa Maya.

If you click on the other "Western Carribean" link you will see that Key West is included in the itenerary, but not until Nov. 20.

 

Sorry this seems so drawn out and I hope I didn't confuse anyone but maybe this will help.

DH and I are booked on the Glory for March 12, 2005. This will be our second cruise. Anyone else booked then? I have lots of questions, but most of them get answered before I even ask. We are doing the Western itinerary. I'll keep reading and post questions later. Thanks for starting this thread!! Lenore

HI! Just got back from 5/22 sailing on the Glory. The ship was incredible! The only time I noticed it being crowded was embarkation and debarkation...lines for food moved really fast. I didn't notice the ship rocking at all. Last cruise we literally slid back from the dining room table each time the ship rolled. I was on the 2nd floor aft and felt/heard alot of vibration when we were docking. This was useful as my wake-up call since I had an inside cabin. We snorkeled in Belize, Playasol in Cozumel, and went to the Beach in Costa Maya. Costa Maya was substituted for Key West because of construction. We found out from Carnival about a month prior to sailing. We heard it hear first! Ask away!

Dixie Girl and Terisu10,

 

bonine is like dramamine, but its not supposed to make you tired. My hubbie does a lot of fishing(used to be a charter captain) and this is what he has always kept on his boats for seasick guests.

 

Tracey,

Thanks for the response about the kids club, my daughter loves to feel older too Now I know what my mother felt!

 

What excursions is everyone planning on doing? We are going back and forth trying to decide. One of the most fun arguments I've ever had!

 

Happy Dreaming(of Sailing),

Stacy

 

Until I'm Cruisin'!!

rocky1540 - We are going 4/16/05. Too bad it would have been great to get together. But you call tell me all about it when you get back and I'll be all psyched about going the following week!

Hi Everybody,

I love hearing about all the repeat cruisers on the Glory, obviously you're all very happy with the ship and crew. We sail July 31 on the Western itinerary. Is anyone else out there on that cruise? We will be travelling with our three teenage sons.

mkmom,

Right now it looks like we are going to do snorkeling in Belize with Coral Breeze, we went with them last year and had an absolutely wonderful time. In Cozumel we may do the horseback riding, but we will definatly do Paradise Beach. There have been many posts about this place on the boards, we just have to try it out!

Still aren't sure about the other two though, these may just be "hang out days". Any past cruisers have any suggestions on Costa Maya?

A group of 16 of us will be sailing on the Glory on July 24-31. We can't wait...most of us have cruised numerous times, but we do have a few newbies this year.

[TxsBugGal]

Looks like we're cruising with Mocka! We're also booked on the 11/13/04 cruise. This will be our first eastern trip. Did the Conquest last November, which is the sister ship to the Glory. We love Cocoa Beach/Cape Canaveral area and are looking forward to sailing from there.

I will have to pick up some Bonine the next time I am at the drug store. Thanks for telling me about it.

I am so jealous of gatorgirl...I wish I was going on my cruise tomorrow!!!!

Is anyone else going to miss stopping at Key West like me??? We will be stopping at Costa Maya instead.

Hi Mocka! Thanks for the info on bonine - I will get some. I just cannot wait until our cruise on the Glory jul 3. I wish I could find others who are sailing with me [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif[/img] Terisu10

[mocka]

[B]terisu10[/B] I bet you won't be alone on the ship. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] I'm sure you will make lots of new friends too! We actually kept in touch with some new friends on Sensation last November and now there are 4 of us re-grouping on Glory.

[B]dixiegirl[/B] ya know if you are really nervous about getting sea sick check with your doctor. I noticed lots of those ear patch things on our last cruise. I hear that they kind of mess with your head though. But that could be just a rumor. you do need a prescription for it. Now as for skipping Key West - you can always drive there. Mexico will be more of an adventure!

[B]TxsBugGal[/B] Cathy & Dan I'm already trying to figure out what I'll order at the bar when I meet yall our our cruise. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Hey folks .. not Glory related, but I deal with sea sickness alot. (I work on the lobster boat with my DH in the summer and fall!!) I use a motion sickness pill that I get at Walmart for around $4.00 for 100. They are EQUATE brand Motion Sickness tablets. I pop 2 in the morning before I leave the house and not sick and NOT SLEEPY!! (Even Bonine made me sleepy, but meds effect everyone differently). Just a note... I went prepared on our cruise last March and didn't take a single pill. No problems at all with motion sickness. Hope this helps.
