Carnival Glory

Burgers, burritos and three courses on Carnival Glory

Carnival Glory’s dining leans on casual food that the fare already covers, with paid restaurants kept for a special night. Guy’s Burger Joint, created with celebrity chef Guy Fieri, sets the tone with flame-grilled patties and loaded toppings, and BlueIguana Cantina answers it with fresh Mexican food in a lively cantina setting. Both are included, so a sea-day lunch costs nothing extra.

Evenings centre on the Dining Room, which serves a three-course dinner every night in a relaxed room with no stuffiness, again included in the fare. For a celebration, a handful of speciality venues charge à la carte, and drinks in the bars are paid unless a beverage package covers them.

Space Cruisers, Camp Ocean and an adults-only retreat

Children get a great deal of Carnival Glory’s attention, and her clubs are included in the fare. Space Cruisers is the one that sets her apart: developed with Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, it gives 2 to 11 year olds hands-on, NASA-inspired space play. Camp Ocean runs supervised, age-based groups with ocean-themed activities for the same ages, and older children and teens have spaces of their own. Our family cruise search brings together sailings planned around children.

Grown-ups have the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat, a quieter pool area away from the busier decks and included in the fare. On a ship where so much is built for families, it is the place to recharge between days ashore.

Bahamas round-trips from Port Canaveral

Carnival Glory sails the Caribbean on 3- and 4-night round-trips that leave from and return to Port Canaveral, Florida. Stops change between departures, but Nassau and Celebration Key in the Bahamas are among the places she calls. Her departures fall in February, April, May, August, November and December, with fares from A$329pp*.

Port Canaveral is a long-haul flight from Australia, so we book the flights, a night or two in Port Canaveral and the transfers together with the cruise, making the sailing one part of a longer Florida holiday. Our Caribbean cruises for 2027 search shows her departures beside the other ships sailing the region that year.

She belongs to Carnival’s Conquest Class, alongside ships including Carnival Conquest, Carnival Valor and Carnival Freedom; the rest of the line’s ships are on our Carnival Cruise Line page.

Is Carnival Glory a party ship?

Her evenings are lively, while her days lean towards families. The Punchliner Comedy Club hosts live stand-up and Playlist Productions stages rotating musical theatre, both included in the fare, while RedFrog Rum Bar pours rum cocktails and the ship’s own private-label draft beer, charged unless a beverage package covers them. By day, the kids’ clubs and the adults-only retreat set a calmer pace.
