firemanbobswife Posted March 14, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Have lots of Guys Burgers. Don't go to the shows (they are LAME). Comedians may be good, but line up early if you want a seat. Love Serenity. Glory had some of the best crew I have encountered. Don't be shocked when you don't see tablecloths except for elegant night. I haven't had a chance to experience the new menus yet, but can't wait until May! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobydog Posted March 14, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Thanks! Did you do any of the Hasbro Game Shows? My 9 year old has interest in this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbobswife Posted March 14, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I went to one and it was excruciating to sit through. If Bingo wouldn't had been next, I would have left. In order to get picked, you have to jump up and down and basically act a fool to get the CD's attention. Then if you answer the trivia question right, you go up on stage. The games just take too long and I hated it. But there are some people of course that think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Your kid may like it but it just wasn't for me. And I too was excited when I first heard about it. Now you couldn't pay me to sit through another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 1kaper Posted March 14, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) Have lots of Guys Burgers. Don't go to the shows (they are LAME). Comedians may be good, but line up early if you want a seat. Love Serenity. Glory had some of the best crew I have encountered. Don't be shocked when you don't see tablecloths except for elegant night. I haven't had a chance to experience the new menus yet, but can't wait until May! This was pretty much my experience. Love the Guy's Burgers, I also love the Blue Iguana Cantina. The pork tacos were my favourite. There is also a fish and chip place. You have to go up the stairs near the dessert station of the buffet. I didn't do Serenity, the aft pool was quiet enough for me but since you mentioned your 9 year old, I guess both aren't an option. Unless he goes to Circle C. I didn't do the shows, went to one comedian who was hilarious (but it was hard to get a seat). I wasn't overly fond of the new menus but I have to say most of the apps and desserts were good. I didn't mind the no tableclothes. I went to go to the Hasbro show but we were too late one night and missed it another day. I did a review (its a few pages back now) if you are interested.

mobydog Posted March 14, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted March 14, 2014 1Kaper...I had previously read your review and it was great! When we sailed the Liberty, I would drop my little one off at the Kids Club and head to the Serenity Lounge for a little quiet time. It was my slice of heaven :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomecruise Posted March 14, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Go see Richard at Alchemy Bar and have him make you something delicious. We spent every night there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bm6pm5 Posted March 15, 2014 #10 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) One of my favorite things is to get a Guy's Burger and fries, or anything you want. Go to the back of the boat by the adults only pool there are tables there. Very peaceful looking out over the ships wake and eating lunch. Usually not to crowded there either. Get there early for the comedy shows if you want a seat. Depends on the comedian as to if the show is good or not. Have seen good ones and bad. The piano bar is a good place to hang out for awhile. Usually a pretty fun crowd there too. Edited March 15, 2014 by bm6pm5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted March 15, 2014 #11 Share Posted March 15, 2014 If you enjoy going to fun Piano Bars, Carnival Glory normally has a very fun & active one. :D LuLu ~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t1adams Posted March 15, 2014 #13 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I'll be sailing on her two weeks from Sunday! Please DO keep them coming!

Ours was on the 5th day, after San Juan (Eastern cruise) around 4:30pm. Got the invite the night before I believe. We checked out the piano bar but didn't get a name, sorry.

Rare 1kaper Posted March 15, 2014 #16 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) For those others reading, I mentioned it in passing but the aft pool was a nice relaxing atmosphere. I love Serenity but I wasn't allowed to do hot tubs and I like being near the pool. I found the aft pool great. And chair hogging wasn't too bad. ETA- Thanks Mobydog, it was fun to do. I love reading them so figured why not. Edited March 15, 2014 by 1kaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashinesunshine Posted March 15, 2014 #17 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Keep them coming, I have almost 300 days to plan for this! Anyone know if the buffets and places like Guys are open all day? On RCCL last year they closed the buffet around 330 every day. Of course that is right when we would get back on the ship hungry and ready to eat. We always have late dining so a sandwich ( or a Guys Burger) would be so good about then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrchkr Posted March 15, 2014 #18 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Get a picture sitting on the Camel by Anubis in the Casino.. oh and have a Guys burger with a Thirsty frog beer to wash it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihavefaith Posted March 15, 2014 #19 Share Posted March 15, 2014 We’ve sailed on the Glory twice. It’s a beautiful ship with a friendly crew and lots of comfortable spots for relaxing, reading or hanging out. Have to agree with Guy’s Burgers, Blue Iguana Cantina and Fish and Chips as favorite spots for lunch. We loved the sea day brunch, though the service last year was a bit slow so we only went once. Welcome back party was great with the best food and drinks of any we’ve attended. We always enjoy trivia and love the comedy shows. Agree that they get very crowded, but some of the comedians were hilarious. Enjoy the Glory and have a wonderful cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never a line there and the burritos are tasty.. You get your choice of what you want in the burrito... Do you know if they deep fry? Like chimichangas? I can't eat flour shells, and corn shells just aren't that good unless they are deep fried, or smothered in a cheesy sauce. :D Healthy I know.....

afreetdragon Posted March 17, 2014 #25 Share Posted March 17, 2014 We hung out at the Alchemy Bar. Now I won't go on any ship that doesn't have the Alchemy. The comedians were awesome but like all the others are saying you want to get there at least 30 minutes prior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
