About Carnival Glory

Carnival Glory is the second Conquest Class ship, delivered by Fincantieri in 2003. She measures 110,000 gross tons and 952 feet, carries 2,980 guests with 1,150 crew and has 13 decks. A 21-day dry dock at Navantia in Cádiz in spring 2024 refreshed every public room, added the Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge, a redesigned casino with a nonsmoking area, a new video wall in Camp Ocean and upgrades to the spa and the Warehouse arcade.

On top she carries Carnival WaterWorks with the Twister slide, the AquaTunnel, twin racing slides and a giant tipping bucket, plus Serenity for adults and Dive-In Movies by the pool. Guy’s Burger Joint, BlueIguana Cantina, the Carnival Deli and Lido Marketplace are included, and the Emerald Room Steakhouse, Seafood Shack and the Chef’s Table are the specialty choices. Nights run through Playlist Productions, the Punchliner Comedy Club, the Camel Club Casino and the White Heat dance club.

Carnival Glory sails short Bahamas cruises year-round from Port Canaveral, an hour from Orlando, throughout 2026 and 2027. Three-day cruises depart Fridays and visit Celebration Key on Grand Bahama; four-day cruises add Nassau, with some also calling at Princess Cays or RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay. She is a natural add-on to an Orlando theme park trip and a simple first cruise for families who want a quick taste of the Bahamas without a long drive or flight.
