I had FTTF for my April cruise on Glory out of NOLA. I'm definitely glad I got it. For some reason they didn't separate boarding passengers by priority, just had everyone sit in rows according to port arrival. We separated when they called FTTF after platinums, diamonds & suites (not in that order). I self-disembarked. Meeting time was 7:15am, I was in parking garage shuttle (Fulton Garage) by 7. Have a cruise booked for October out of Mobile, live an hour away, so probably won't bother with FTTF. Don't forget that FTTF is also helpful in priority MDR requests too.

There always seemed to be open tables in the shaded area of pool.

CCL casino deals usually include Drinks On Us while playing in casino, some lucky people get drinks anywhere through the casino. Get 1500 points in casino to get free drinks while playing. That's on 7 day cruises, not sure about points on shorter cruises.

I didn't know about Starlink, good to know, I got internet plan to keep in touch. I'll be onboard with Sparks1093. Will be my 2nd time on Glory as well, happy about this, being my first solo cruise.

I haven't looked in a few years, but only seen rectangular my whole life.

Earlier boarders can claim a good spot to wait for cabins to open for both groups!

I was surprised when I saw the price, not bad.

I've given up trying to input my other cruises in app, it doesn't remember them. Good thing I'm usually only interested in the one coming up!

First formal night is usually first sea day in my experience.

I would hope April Fool's joke! Image the cost of posting a crew member there.

Btw, if you happen to notice port arrival times for FTTF and if they're allowing early arrival for them, please let us know. I purchased FTTF for my cruise. I expect to get a fairly early time by staying up late tonight for check-in, but who knows!

I get a lot of casino deals offering "drinks on us" while playing in casino. Some people get drinks everywhere casino deals which is same as Cheers. I'm a low betting player.

I looked into prepaying for parking just a few days ago, but wasn't able to do it. Think the website not up-to-date.

I'll be getting on Glory the 16th. Usually go in the spring and I've never been bothered by spring breakers. Except for embarkation and debarkation, everyone usually pretty spread out around the ship. In my 60's btw. Have a great trip, good luck in the casino!

Maybe they are trying to keep their covid numbers down by charging for the test?

If you want to make sure everything set after doing as previously suggested, go see the matre d on boarding day. Where and when to see them will be posted in funtimes or app.

You should let them know that they won't get cash out of slot machines if they're using players card (sign&sail card). In that case, it will stay on card in player's casino bank, which can be cashed out at cashiers window.

I saw in a recently posted funtimes 1-3pm

Great review! Safe travels home!

Do like a lot of people and pour in your cabin and bring with you. You can request wine glasses at most bars if none in your cabin.

See you on Glory next month!

Thanks for the reply. Enjoying your review. Will be going on Glory for 2nd time next month, I have FTTF for first time since restart. Going gold this cruise, so long way to go to platinum!

I went back to your boarding day posts. Were they allowing priority people (plat., diam., suites and FTTF) to drop off bags in their cabins upon boarding?

Have my first ever suite (ocean) booked for next spring. Can't wait. Because of price, even with casino offer, it may be my last.

If weather is good, you can eat outside near the water.
