On the Glory right now (week of October 15-22, 2016)

[jst]

Thanks for everything so far, one of our best cruises was on this ship. Can you post a picture of pg 2 of the daily sheet, your pictures so far are fantastic:)

Following your review. I really appreciate the time your taking to do this so a huge thank you!

It's just like PP but on the other side where it was normally empty.

 

 

Is this specific to Glory I wonder? Will be on Conquest soon and would love to see this!

[Jamericannn]

Unfortunately they still do have Hasbro. The comedy shows haven't been well advertised and the report I got from friends say they got right in which is total opposite of what it usually is. I don't remember the names but I'll post the FunTimes at some point when I get home.

 

We're leaving now so I'll get back to everyone later! Thanks for reading!

 

 

 

You are against Hasbro? I want Hasbro to stay.

Glad to see they let you exchange visor for tumbler. Only problem is they better get more tumblers.

 

If I remember correctly Value internet plan was $ 60 in May guess they raised the price

I'll be on the same cruise the same day!

I'll be on the ship with you. November 5 is coming so soon. Can't wait

I think my DH and I sailed with you when the Glory was last in Norfolk back in 2013! We'll be on her again this Nov. 12 and your review is helping me pass the time. Thanks so much!

I really don't like Hasbro. Caught the end of it the other night and guess what? The little kid won. Surprise, surprise.

I'm sitting at the airport now waiting on my flight. I'll go over debarkation while it's fresh in my mind.

 

We were given a letter to meet in the Golden Dining Room at 7:15 AM for Platinum self assist. I figured I would wait until around then before heading there as every other time there had been a wait. Well at 6:45 AM Saffie announced that they were doing self assist for Decks 1 and 2. Guess D/P/FTTF had already gone by then. Luckily I was already packed and headed out. About 4-5 people in front of me to get off the ship. 2 lines were open Deck 3 forward. It went very fast, no line at Customs.

 

Checked one bag at the airport since there wasn't really a line outside (except I got delayed by a family that had to rearrange clothes in their overweight bag). Breezed through TSA PreCheck and here I sit. From stepping off the ship to sitting at the gate in under an hour.

Going backwards... I told you these are just a bunch of random things as they come to mind. You were warned [emoji4]

 

Diamond/Platinum party was yesterday in the Ebony Lounge. There were a lot of people but not overwhelming like the old ones when I was Gold. The drinks were plentiful and you could order what you want or they walked around with Fun Shop Specials and other things. Hint: a couple bucks to the bar waitress goes a long way!

 

They had a new video that Saffie said they just recently came out with. I didn't win any prizes from the trivia questions - name the ship, name the Epulet (or however you spell it), or guess the amount of candy. But it was a good time. They didn't keep the invitations but we were told to bring them.

[firemanbobswife]

Misc. stuff.

 

The standard outlets

 

Outlets under the bed. I bring this up because I see people say on here all the time "There are plugs under the bed for the lamps so use those". Well it's easier said than done unless you have an adaptor thing.

The free tea throughout the ship. Only Lipton and Green Tea. Want the flavored stuff? Be prepared to pony up $2 or bring your own.

[firemanbobswife]

I know I have said this before, but many of you might not have seen it. When you return from port, look for the bins with Crewmembers standing there. They will exchange your dirty, wet towels for clean ones so you don't need to keep the nasty ones in your cabin until evening. Bonus - no tracking sand throughout your cabin.

[firemanbobswife]

Taste Bar Schedule

 

 

VIFP water. It's also the same as the one you pay for in your cabin.

 

 

[firemanbobswife]

Laundry bag and prices. Put it next to a towel so you can see the size.

 

 

[firemanbobswife]

I'll post the FunTimes in the next day or so once I get unpacked.

[nydney1]

Thanks you for posting everything. We sail next Saturday and this preview/review has wetted my appetite.

[Rod in Az]

Thank you for taking time on your vacation to post this.

 

Safe travels home!!!

[ohiowilly]

Thank you for all of your postings.

 

I'm glad to hear your positive comments above the overall conditions of the Glory. We'll be aboard in early December, and had some concerns that upkeep might slack off prior to the dry-dock. We've sailed other Conquest class ships, but this will be our first time on the Glory.

 

Did you, by chance take pics of the American Table/Feast menus in the MDR?

I need to figure out the best night to book the Steakhouse.

 

Thanks again!

While I'm waiting to get off the plane, CC Meet and Mingle was a bust. No invitations but it was listed in the FunTimes of which I didn't check because we were told there would be invitations. I guess like 6 people showed up.

[carol Grow]

Thanks for sharing the info!! I'm 5 years overdue a cruise, going Glory end of November so loved your reports! Sorry you had to get off the ship☹️️
