We cruised on the Glory from 6/4/13 until 6/9/13. My wife and I were in an "L" shaped Balcony Cabin 6481 and my Daughter (first time cruiser) and First Cousin were in an "L" shaped Balcony Cabin 6473. The Cabins were clean and roomy. The Balcony is HUGE. No couch though, so it only sleeps 2. Although these are over the Promenade Deck the noise level in 6481 was minimal. It was louder in 6473 though, so light sleepers may want to avoid that Cabin. The engine noise and vibration was only present in both cabins during Docking. All in all, if the weather was warmer, it would have been worth the minor issues for the oversized balcony.

As for the dining Carnival's 2.0 upgrade has greatly improved the food quality. The Guy Fieri Burgers are seared and crispy on the outside, but juicy and flavorful on the inside. The rolls are fresh and tasty. Although there are different varieties and toppings to be had, the Plain Jane Cheeseburger holds it's own and needs nothing added to it. The Burrito Bar has Tasty Taco's. The Fish Taco's were great. The Burrito's were inconsistent at best. As for the Pizza it is delicious. Hand pounded and stretched fresh dough is topped with a touch of crushed tomatoes and fresh toppings. The crust is thin, crisp and flavorful. Try the Quarto if you are a Cheese Fanatic. Open 24/7 the pizza is great for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack. My only issue with the Buffet is the lines. Perhaps going with stand alone buffet stations would help. Maybe in the 3.0 upgrade. The Dining Rooms Cuisine was inconsistent. It was either Very Good or Just Average. The service, relaxing atmosphere and entertainment made up for the few "so-so" dishes. In the end the Chocolate Melting Cake made everything better though.

The entertainment was vastly better than previous Carnival cruises. Latin Nights and Diva's were "Vegas Like" shows. Great Singing, Dancing and Production Value.
