Have you ever been on a 7 day carnival cruise out of Orlando on the Glory and went through the eastern?

Question

caribbean and stopped at ports like Nassau Bahamas, St Thomas, and St Martin? If so, how do you like it?

Answer 1

I don't know. I have been on 2 Royal Caribbeans and 1 Holland America and a third Royal Caribbean this summer. But, as far as I know, it is virtually impossible for a ship to sail out of Orlanda because it is in the middle of the state.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Nice ship, good itinerary - especially if you are looking for shopping and beach time.

There are some good, recent pictures of Glory here:

One thing I really loved about the ship is the "Supper Club" restaurant upstairs.  Great steaks, elegant atmosphere.  $30 extra, but totally worth it.

The mini-golf is also fun.

As for the itinerary, Nassau is great for Atlantis, and the Straw Market (lots of handicrafts and "faux" designer handbags).  St Thomas is ... well, overdeveloped in my opinion, but there are good beaches if you take a taxi or an excursion, and lots of touristy shops.  St. Martin is my personal favorite.  Really good-value jewelry and handicraft shopping on Front Street.  And great (non-ripoff!) restaurants in Philippsburg along the beach where you can get a prime spot with two beach chairs, a sun umbrella, and a bucket of beer for $10.  Or sit inside if you prefer.

Answer 4

No, but I know someone who did and they loved it.
