Creator's Key Takeaways

I highly recommend getting something with a lanyard so you can just carry your card with you and they can scan it right through the plastic.

I do not recommend taking excursions unless it's through your cruise line cuz that could be a real hassle trying to get back and it cost you a pretty penny.

Food is included. We ate at the Red Sale restaurant. Great food.

The beaches were okay. They were nice, but nothing beats Cocoa Beach.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get a lanyard for your sail away card to easily scan it.
Only take excursions through your cruise line to avoid missing the ship.
Bring your photo ID and birth certificate for customs.
Be considerate of roommates when using the bathroom at night.

YouTube Video Description

January 2026. Come aboard as I take my first cruise to the Bahama's on the Carnival Glory. I took the 4 night cruise. In this video, I will do a tour of the ship. I sailed out of Port Canaveral, Florida to the Bahama's. My videos of the ports will be up later.
