Carnival Glory Carnival Cruises Rated 3.5 Stars

If you're looking for a vacation at sea that's as colorful as the decor of the cruise ship taking you there, an entire palette of fun activities and hot spots awaits aboard Carnival Glory. For starters, there's a rainbow of salsa options for dressing up your tacos and burritos at BlueIguana Cantina, while Guy's Burger Joint serves up burgers designed by the colorful personality himself: celebrity chef Guy Fieri. And wait 'till you see the Camel Club Casino - proof that Carnival Glory is a real looker and a truly special cruise ship.

This ship has one purpose: Make you have the funniest experience! It's clear that the fun, eye-catching experiences all around you are the real deal... even the fantasy world of Seuss At Sea, where your favorite books (and characters!) come to life before your eyes. And from the people-watching potential of the Lido Deck, to the see-and-be-seen White Heat Dance Club, Carnival Glory pulls out the stops. It even shows its true colors, satisfying your stomach with sit-down dining options like the Emerald Room Steakhouse and the aptly-named Golden and Platinum Restaurants.

Carnival Glory Ship Activities

Boredom will no longer become a concern. Head on over to WaterWorks, Carnival's onboard waterpark and enjoy one of the fastest, wettest rides you'll find anywhere. Wanna relax? From the comfort of your poolside lounge chair you'll enjoy sporting events and recent blockbuster films on a really big screen. Make your day a memorable one. Run, sing, and dance onboard Carnival Glory.

  • Bingo: Get ready to play some crazy-exciting, hoot-and-holler-if-you-win-big bingo! The prizes are bigger, the packages are more fun and there are even souvenir daubers to mark your numbers.
  • WaterWorks: Wear your speed suit for Speedway Splash, which features hundreds of feet of racing action, plus special lighting effects you'll experience on the road to victory. DrainPipe ends with one major swirl of a finish, while PowerDrencher takes soaking seriously - imagine the biggest bucket of water you've ever seen, raining down on you from above.
  • Nightclub: Whether you're doing the robot or the worm or just swaying to the music, you'll want to dance 'till the sun rises. Or at least 'till the last call. DJs are spinning today's hottest hits and yesterday's retro jams, guaranteed to get you out of your seat and tapping your feet.
  • Dive-In Movies: The screen is big and beautiful so every seat is the perfect one, but it's more than just the view, it's the breeze, and the joy of enjoying some great entertainment together. So come out for a show and try to remember a breezier night you've spent at the theater.
  • Atrium: With multi-level panoramic views, the Atrium gives you the perfect place to enjoy all the hustle and bustle. There's always music playing here, whether it's a live band or a party-pumping DJ, plus enjoy events throughout the day or a drink at the bar, anytime. This 360-degree fun spot is also home to the Guest Services desk, the place you go if you have questions for one of the certified fun experts.
  • Mega Deck Party: Show up to the open-air Lido Deck pool area ready to have a good time under the stars. The ship's DJ, cruise director and entertainment staff will be on-hand to get things going and keep everyone moving. And with "everyone," that means guests of all ages are welcome at this party! Make the most of your evening with games, giveaways, line dances and more.
  • Cooking Demonstration: Learn to cook, Steakhouse-style from a team of chefs as they demonstrate the tricks of the trade used to make those multi-course dinners everyone loves so much. Take the joy of cooking and transform it into a delightful hour-long presentation of kitchen skill and ingenuity.
  • Mini Golf: Imagine a perfect day out on the links, the golfer's zen of the ball, the hole and nothing in between but a well-manicured fairway, plus one cactus, a treasure chest, a windmill... That's precisely why you'll find onboard.
  • Art Exhibitions: Take part in an art-themed battle of the sexes or check out showcases highlighting the best of, say, European artists or world-famous pop artist Peter Max. You can't get any closer to great art without buying it.
  • Games: From physical challenges to scavenger hunts to the very appropriate Battle of the Ages - the trivia game that actually pits kids against adults... Carnival puts the "all" in "fun for all."
  • Pools: Whether today's the day for a bit of a dip, a dash of splash or even some swimming - or just a serious poolside lounging session - your Carnival cruise has just the pool for you.
  • Art Seminars: Here, you'll go from the earliest cave paintings to the modern masters - with stops at topics like the Renaissance, Baroque, Surrealism and Pop Art - and cover both theory and technique. You'll walk away with a spectrum of knowledge to use at your next art auction, or to elevate your cocktail party chatter.
  • Video Arcade: Challenge your friends to a game, or just see if you can beat the top score. After all, with the video arcade open 24 hours and an entire cruise ahead of you, you have plenty of time to try.
  • Twister Waterslide: Countless gallons of water rush through the entire length of this slide, so you're by no means dry when you start, but by the time you reach the end - hundreds of feet later - you reach new levels of soaking, splashing down in that classic waterslide photo-finish: hands-up, eyes wide and nothing but exhilaration on your face.

Carnival Glory Ship Dining

It's normal to think about all the different dishes you can eat on a cruise. The real problem is that you will find a lot of options! Are you ready for a delicious hamburger? Or maybe you'll end up having some premium cuts of beef or seafood. Oh, and don't forget the fancy Dining Room.

Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast
Sit down to a truly fantastical feast with The Cat in the Hat and Friends. Bright colors and patterns decorate your table, which features fun and unique menus.

Here you'll have dozens of what-to-eat options... great choices like BBQ, a deli counter, salad bar, an Asian station and a pasta bar... plus one spot where the chef serves up a different surprise daily!

Seafood Shack
A good seafood dish is quite the catch. However you like yours served - whether it's on a roll or a platter - Seafood Shack's the place to cast your net. Imagine a New England-style seaside spot where you can take it all in, enjoying a great meal complete with a side of ocean view.

Seaday Brunch
You'll enjoy huevos rancheros, special french toast, loaded mac-n-cheese, and yes, more ways to cook eggs than you thought was possible. Chow down and fuel up - you've got lots of exploring to do, across the ship, for the rest of the day.

Carnival Deli
Enjoy old-time favorites like a hot pastrami on rye, grilled Reuben, or roasted turkey breast on a country roll. Sandwiches and wraps are always hand-carved and served fresh with cole slaw or relish.

Special Diets
Carnival's chefs are specially-trained to prepare food options for a variety of diets - vegetarian, gluten-free, kosher, Indian vegetarian, or food low in carbs, fat, sugar or cholesterol - so you don't have to let your dietary restrictions restrict you from having a great time. Or from having seconds.

Carnival Glory Ship Bars

What better way to enjoy a cruise than with a good cocktail in your hand? Picture yourself at the open-air bars or wear your favorite team's color for the match. There are different theme bars where you can relax and spend your time.

Alchemy Bar
No magic spells are required to enjoy a cocktail creation at Alchemy Bar, all you need is a willingness to be surprised, to try something new. Carnival has flipped through dusty old texts to uncover enticing combinations: select spirits, fresh juices, infused syrups, spices... and other tantalizing secrets performed before your very eyes by the true mix-masters: the bartenders.

RedFrog Rum Bar
Carnival has taken the best parts and brought them poolside with the RedFrog Rum Bar, where the frog keeps the fun hopping day and night with all the island flava you know and love. Join the party at this poolside bar featuring a great selection of frog-approved Caribbean rum-based concoctions available by the glass or pitcher.

BlueIguana Tequila Bar
The onboard spot to chill and enjoy a slushy tequila drink or an ice-cold Mexican cerveza. The menu offers up Mexican favorites, including several brands of tequila and a slew of Mexican brews. There's a lineup of frozen concoctions, cocktails and margaritas served by the glass or by the pitcher, and even a special Mexican beer cocktail (yes, really). Where can you find this little slice of Mexican paradise? Next to the pool, of course.

Cheers!
Salud, kampai, l'chaim, mabuhay... however you toast, Carnival makes sure you get to do more of it with Cheers! Bartenders bring you your drinks... but never the bill. Once aboard, sign up and enjoy the ease of one flat price for drinks throughout your cruise - now that's something to raise a glass to. (A few exclusions apply.)

Piano Bar
This is the bar where you call the shots and the tunes. Hey songbird - pull up a seat, order your favorite cocktail and let your friendly piano player know what you'd like to hear. Then join the singalong for a hand-clapping, foot-tapping, finger-snapping good time.

SkyBox Sports Bar
Get hands-on with a game, a drink and high-fives galore! SkyBox Sports Bar gets you right onto the 50-yard line of onboard sports action. Grab a drink or order some snacks - they're great while kicking back and watching your favorite teams on one of the big screens, or just dropping by to check out real-time scores and headlines on the panoramic ticker.

Casino Bar
Winning big in the casino is big fun, and your next stop is celebrating with a top-shelf drink. Located right off the casino floor, the casino bar serves up your favorite cocktails, beer and wine, making this the perfect spot to celebrate with family, friends...and maybe even total strangers.

Beer Station
Thirsty? Be your own bartender and pour yourself a cold one during lunch, dinner, or really, any time of day.

Cruise the Vineyards
From the soft and fruity flavor of the Merlot to the light and dry Sauvignon Blanc, for those who appreciate wine, a Cruise the Vineyard package is a must. Choose from three packages featuring selections from Italy, New Zealand, France, Australia, Germany, California, Washington and Oregon. Sip and savor favorites at a discounted price.

Carnival Glory Ship Entertainment

Are you ready to have fun all day and night? Onboard you'll have a lot of things to do. Go and laugh at the Comedy Club, or show everyone your best moves on the dancing floor; Also, don't miss the opportunity to sing as if tomorrow doesn't exist.

  • Playlist Productions: Everyone has those perfect songs that never fail to get them moving. Playlist Productions brings lists like yours to life! Your favorites become full-blown musical productions featuring singers and dancers bringing down the house.
  • The Punchliner Comedy Club: Up on stage you will find some real pros who know how to wedge a little laughter into anyone's evening. You can count on these comedians to not hold back either. Since some of them get up and say exactly what's on their mind, there are also family-friendly performances, so the only red faces in the audience are from laughing a little too hard.
  • Seuss-a-palooza Story Time: Watch as your favorite stories come to life in a setting that's as one-of-a-kind as the Dr. Seuss classics themselves. But don't just take this one sitting down - as an audience member, you'll find chances to interact as the story unfolds... and perhaps even become a part of the story, yourself! Also, be sure to keep an eye open for unexpected, delightfully costumed guests who may very well be stopping by to make a special appearance.
  • Deal or No Deal: You know the game show with the briefcases stuffed full of money, a big red button and a mysterious banker phoning in deals? Yep, you've seen it on TV... and now you'll find it on your next Carnival cruise.
  • Live Music: Want to rock 'n' roll every night and every day? Well, you've come to the right ship. Carnival brings some of the best performers on land out to sea for an ambiance that can't be beat. Chances are you'll find a live performance on board that gets your hands clapping and toes tapping. And for the ultimate concert experience at sea.
  • Scratch-Offs: Pack your luckiest scratching coin and go to town on a ticket...or a whole stack. There are a bunch of games to choose from, prizes go all the way up to $100,000... and like the pros know, each ticket offers more than one way to win.
  • Towel Animal Theater: They may be made out of flat towels, but there's nothing two-dimensional about the performances at Towel Animal Theater on your Carnival cruise. They're rolled, folded and brought to life by the same masters of the craft that leave the cute little guys nightly in your stateroom.

Carnival Glory Ship Spa & Fitness

Vacations aren't an excuse to stop working out. Surely you'll have time to hit the gym or some classes that will make you sweat... and after that, how does it sound a good time at the spa?

  • Spa Carnival: When it comes to complete relaxation from the inside out, nothing beats a trip to the spa. From the minute you step inside, the soothing ambiance begins to work its magic. Renew yourself with premium beauty and wellness therapies, like hot stone massages, aromatherapy or full-body wraps. This is your time to be spoiled, indulged and even beautified.
  • Massage: Oh, the spa, the place where they do these amazing massages by hand. But they don't just stop there - they've got tools to enhance the benefits too. Select from different hands-on experiences featuring seaweed for detox, herbal poultice for energy, bamboo for deep tissue penetration and hot stones for perfection.
  • Facial Treatments: Your face is the first thing the world sees, and while a nice smile can make a world of difference, one of the best ways to put a smile on your face is with a nice, refreshing facial. Of course, there's more to it than just feeling great...post-facial, your rejuvenated skin will also be looking its best, so there's definitely substance behind the good looks you'll be catching glimpses of in all the mirrors you pass. Whichever facial option you go for, you'll be treated to a luxuriously enhancing experience .
  • ZSPA: There's a lot to being a teen - they need to kick back, chill and sometimes even indulge just as much as adults... if not more! Carnival understands them, which is why they've tailored onboard ZSPA treatments to their unique needs. ZSPA keeps teens looking their best from head to toe, with everything from trendy hairstyles to pedicures.
  • Men's Spa Services: Hey man, been to the spa lately? You can actually enjoy a lot of stuff plus manly services like razor-close barbershop-style shaves - pair one with a facial to really get a good thing going up top. Speaking of the barber, a cruise is a great time to rock a whole new hairstyle, a quick grey-hair darkening, or even just a fresh trim. And what guy wouldn't go for a little extra relaxation with a massage? Exactly, bro.
  • Medi-Spa: If you've been thinking about Botox or Dysport treatments, this spa is a good place to do them. These are non-surgical, anti-wrinkle procedures that show results in days, and last for months, so you can keep enjoying the benefits even after you're back home.
  • Hair & Beauty Salon: A trip to the salon is an opportunity to relax, to chat with others, to focus on yourself. It's about more than just getting your hair or nails done. Even though you're on vacation, you won't have to settle for anything less than the salon style you're used to back on land. And these good looks go beyond the usual.
  • Jogging Track: Jogging may not immediately come to mind when you think of things to do at sea, but it probably should. You don't have to walk on water, you just have to get on a Carnival cruise. After all, if you're going to jog, you'd be hard-pressed to find a place to do it with a more scenic view, or a more refreshing breeze.
  • Fitness Classes: Whether it's yoga, pilates, indoor cycling or boot camp, there's a fitness class that'll get you the workout you need, and the instruction you need to do it right.
  • Fitness Center: Your body will definitely benefit from all the extra energy that vacationing pumps directly into you. And let's not forget the extra time you'll have since you won't be waking up and spending most of the day at the office or anything like that.
  • Basketball: Here, it's all about the journey to the hoop: the view and the sea breeze you take in as you drive your way past defenders to put the rock in the bucket. Say, that actually reminds us of cruising - the destinations may rock, but it's all about getting there.
  • Acupuncture: Whether you're looking to pinpoint a specific health concern or just searching for a different way to relax, Carnivals onboard licensed acupuncturist's table is a great place to do it.

Carnival Glory Ship Accommodations

When you're on a cruise, one of the most important things is: where are you going to stay? Don't worry, Carnival offers different kinds of staterooms with all the important things to make you enjoy your time.

  • Interior Staterooms
    This is an affordable way to cruise without leaving out the comfort or convenience! Great for curling up after a long day of fun.
  • Ocean View Staterooms
    A picture window gives you views of scenery you won't find anywhere on land, all from the comfort of your stateroom.
  • Balcony Staterooms
    Balcony staterooms were designed for maximum sea breeze and the most stunning views, so look to a balcony if you're looking to cruise aboard Carnival Glory. Any time you're in your room, you're just steps away from your own personal outdoor oasis, featuring the sort of sea view you can also feel.
  • Suite Staterooms
    A Carnival Glory suite is the ultimate way to cruise. With more space for stretching out indoors, plus a large balcony for kicking back outdoors, try an Ocean Suite to experience private, luxurious relaxation.
