Our first tip is a big one!
Make sure you’re aware of all of the complimentary embarkation lunch options that are available
on the Glory.
The Red Sail Restaurant Lido Buffet on Deck 9 aft has three traditional buffet sections
serving the same dishes,
a dessert section,
and The Deli, which serves sandwiches and wraps.
Additionally, there are four other complimentary options located near the buffet.
Just forward of the buffet, on the starboard side – or right side – of Deck 9, Guy’s
Burger Joint serves burgers and fries inspired by the eatery’s namesake, Guy Fieri.
And on the port side – or left side – the Blue Iguana Cantina serves a variety of authentic
Mexican food.
Just behind the buffet, Pizza Pirate serves a variety of pizzas and a salad.
And just above the buffet – on Deck 10 – Ol’ Fashioned BBQ serves pork, chicken, and beef
barbecue with sides and sauces.
Speaking of embarkation day, our next tip is to find the Dining Inquiries representative
on embarkation day if you want to make changes to your dinner time or location.
Your dining assignment will be listed on your Sail & Sign card and you can check the Carnival
HUB App or the printed daily schedule for the time and location of Dining Inquiries
if you have questions or want to make changes.
Our third tip is to visit Spa Carnival and the kids clubs during the afternoon of embarkation
day, if you’re interested in exploring either one because both are not available for general
visits afterwards.
Additionally, Spa Carnival held a raffle in the early evening of embarkation day for
spa-related prizes.
The raffle was listed in the What’s Happening list of activities.
Our next tip is to check some not-so-obvious areas if you can’t find a lounge chair by
one of the Glory’s pools.
Even after all of the loungers near the pools were claimed on our cruise, we were still
able to find plenty of loungers available at: Deck 10 Aft, near the roof for the adults-only pool;
Deck 12 Forward, on the port side – or left side – of the ship;
and Deck 14 Forward, on both sides of the ship, outside of the adults-only Serenity area.
Our fifth tip is to make sure you head to the correct deck of the Glory for the type
of seating you want in the Amber Palace Main Lounge theater.
The theater can be accessed on Decks 3, 4, and 5 in the front of the ship.
In general, the Deck 3 level of the theater features couch-like seating with small, unmovable
tables spaced out along each row and no armrests.
The Deck 4 level of the theater features smaller, two-person love seats with armrests, but no tables.
And the Deck 5 level of the theater features individual, high-back, cushioned chairs with
armrests and a small drink table to share with the person seated next to you.
Our next tip is to be aware that the Glory’s Spa Carnival has some complimentary amenities
for passengers 18 years and older, including fitness equipment,
a sauna,
a steam room,
and showers.
The showers are enclosed and have a bit more room than the standard stateroom showers.
Check with the Spa attendants for more information.
Our seventh tip is to find the complimentary Afternoon Tea on days at sea to enjoy the
best desserts on the ship.
The Afternoon Tea probably won’t be listed in the What’s Happening list of activities,
so be sure to look for it under “Hungry for More?”
in the Food section.
In addition to finger sandwiches and delicious desserts, there were three complimentary teas
available: black tea, decaf, and green tea.
Other flavors were available for purchase.
Our next tip is to be aware that self-service laundry rooms are available on most stateroom
decks of the Glory.
Decks 1, 2, 6, 7, and 8 have laundry rooms near the midship elevators on the starboard
side – or right side – of the ship.
Each has three washing machines and six dryers.
Since the laundry rooms are essentially located in the same area of each deck, you can easily
take the elevator to another deck if no washers or dryers are available on the current deck.
There is also a laundry room on Deck 9 near the forward elevators on the port side – or
left side – of the ship.
The Deck 9 laundry room only has two washing machines and four dryers available.
Each of the laundry rooms includes an iron, ironing board, and sink.
During our cruise, the cost to use a washer or dryer was $3.50 each,
soap and fabric softener were available to purchase for $2.00 each,
and everything was paid for using a Sail & Sign card.
Our ninth tip will help you find the mini golf located on Deck 12 near the Glory’s
red “whale tail” funnel.
First, you need to climb the stairs from Deck 10 to Deck 11 to reach the jogging track area.
Then, climb the stairs and enter the Sports Deck area.
Make your way across the Sports Deck area to the stairs near the opposite corner while
making sure you don’t get hit by a stray basketball.
And, finally, climb the stairs to the mini golf course.
Our next tip is to check the Glory’s deck plans located near the elevators while you
wait for your elevator to arrive.
You’ll want to know where you’re heading before you board because the only information
available inside the elevators is the deck numbers.
Our eleventh tip is to download some shows and movies to your devices if you enjoy watching
them while cruising because the stateroom television programming was fairly limited
on the Glory.
Also, while there were no sports channels available on our stateroom TV, we were able
to keep track of our favorite teams with the sports ticker located in the Skybox Sports Bar.
Our next tip is to attend the Fun Aboard Fun Ashore presentation if you’re interested
in learning more about the activities planned for your cruise or if you love freebies!
During our cruise, the hosts gave away steakhouse dinners, bingo cards, shore excursions, and more.
Check the daily schedules to find the day and time of the presentation.
Our final tip is to check out the small playground located on the port side – or left side
– of Deck 12 if you’re traveling with young kids.
The playground is not listed on the Glory’s deck plan and was located just outside the
Camp Ocean area.
