The 110,000-ton 2,974-passenger Conquest-class cruise ship Carnival Glory operated by Carnival Corporation is a truly colorful ocean liner with each of its public rooms sporting all the vivid colors of the rainbow! The ship is easy to navigate (from the passengers’ point of view) since most of the public rooms that include the Camel Casino, White Heart Dance Club, Burgundy (wine) Bar and the Ultraviolet Teen Disco are centrally located. However, one snug corner boasts of a cluster of hot spots that includes the Sing-along piano bar, Cinn-a-Bar, the Ebony Cabaret beckoning late night dancing partners and the Bar Blue for jazz enthusiasts. The Carnival Glory’s singular Cigar Bar, The Ivory Club is located just below.
Even though the Carnival Glory’s passenger quota mostly comprises of newly married couples, the ship is also much liked by families because of its many activities. This of course often creates overcrowding at the buffet during peak hours, more on sea days and formal nights. Similar is the case with the Colors Bar in the atrium that tends to fill up for pre-dinner cocktails. However, the Green Sports Bar, Ebony Cabaret Lounge and the Ivory Club are where you could head if you wanted to escape the crowds.
The Carnival Glory’s dining options include both traditionally assigned seating arrangement in the Platinum and Golden dining rooms commencing at 6 and 8.15 pm as well as flexible timing system through Carnival’s Your Choice Dining Program that offers dinner in the central dining room where passengers can enjoy their supper anytime between 5.45 and 9.30 in the night. However, it must be admitted that keeping at par with other Conquest-class ships, the quality and selection of food on board the Carnival Glory is quite good, while the daily changing menu also lists the calorie and fat content of each dish for the benefit of the diners.
However, the most impressive part of the Carnival Glory’s exclusive dining deal relates to its reservation-only Emerald Room Supper Club where the elite menu combined with extra attentive service more than compensates its $25 cover charge per person. And the food they serve here is top class too - South African lobster, sizable porterhouse steak and prime-aged beef. What more does a passenger want?
