Reviewer read

A solid, middle-of-the-fleet ship. It falls behind on ship quality.

Carnival Glory rates higher overall than 56% of the ships we track. Entertainment is its strongest showing. The weak spot is ship quality.

The one caution

8.3out of 10 for ship quality

Higher than only 23% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.75.

Everything else, in two lines

Three are good without being remarkable: entertainment (higher than 66% of ships), activities (higher than 60% of ships) and value (higher than 55% of ships).

Eight fall below the fleet: embarkation, disembarkation, fitness, cabins, service, dining, public areas and ship quality. They rate higher than 23% to 49% of ships.

Family falls below the fleet too, but only 49 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.

Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.21 and 8.31. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
