Creator's Key Takeaways

Carnival Glory launched in 2003, part of the Conquest Class and it mostly does short three to four night cruises which sometimes get a bad rap, you know, booze cruises.

The buffet on Glory is absolutely huge, spanning the area between the main Leo pool deck and the adult azure pool deck.

Emerald has helped Carnival craft a menu loaded with flavorful options. Really happy to see these improvements.

Almost every crew member we met really took the funship vibe to heart.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Aim to get to Guys Burger Joint earlier or later to avoid prime time crowds.
Get in line early for Punchliners comedy shows to secure a seat.
Consider the main dining room for breakfast due to its relaxed atmosphere, not just the food.
