    Yep I am crazy too, I do this too, even though we are Diamond I still get up at midnight 16 days before.

     

    PS:  In case you didn't know.  You don't have to do the entire check in process at 12 midnight.  Just go in and select your boarding time, and the system will save that.  Then you can go back at a reasonable time when you want and do the entire "check in" process. 😉

    Good to know, 👍

    Glory is one of the least updated ships without numerous features common on other ships in the fleet. But that said, if you truly are a 'ship person', likely only the most modern Carnival ships will provide you a true WOW factor. An honest question you need to ask yourself is whether you really want an Icon of the Seas experience when you cruise? Personally that doesn't interest me as we are more 'destination' cruisers.

    No Icon of the seas that's way to busy, Just want wow factor to be in the decor and a few amenities. The Glory to us was lacking. The atrium was dull in appearance as a lot of the ship seemed to be. Even on the Fascination, Fantasy and Triumph there was a (how do I describe this), They were just more showy and had the new car smell even though they were older if that makes any sense

  3. We just got off the Glory on 7/11/23 and it was kind of a disappointment at least to us as far as the overall upkeep, just looked tired and dated. That being said we are booked on the Breeze in March for a 5-day cruise. My question is will the Breeze have a wow factor that the Glory doesn't. This will be the first time we sailed on a Dream class ship. Thanks for any comments.

  4. All in all we were on vacation and we had a good time. 

     

     

    The Bad.

     Embarkation was the worst that we have ever been through, we have sailed out of NOLA twice before and was a pleasure, but this time was a mass state of confusion and disorganization. We arrived and dropped of luggage and proceeded to check in and were told to wait outside along with the rest of 3000 passengers in the 100 degree sun until our zone was called. Our check in time was 1030 and were not called until 12. finally on the ship at 1pm.

     

     

    The suit was just Ok but that's what I was expecting.

     

    We had your time dining and even after checking in for dinner on the HUB app wait times would be as long as a 90 min

     

    The Glory was overbooked from what our Room attendant Webster said ( who was awesome) by over 430 passengers so this enplanes the overly long lines everywhere.

     

    The show were high school quality but the tried but just not what you would expect,

     

    The ship itself was tired looking and really showed her age,

     

    The Good

     

    We were on Vacation.

     

    The steak house was excellent. 

     

    The Erald Trio Violene players were the best entertainment on the cruise.

     

    O2 Club was a big hit with our 15 yo son

     

    Food was hit or miss

     

    Drinks on them was nice

     

     

    This was just my thoughts.

     

    we will see what the Breeze is like in March
