Carnival Glory offer
 
Please, anyone advise! Good offer?
Caribbean
Travel dates: September 9, 16, 23; October 7
Top 20 deal - sells out quickly!
Plan ahead and spend 7 nights cruising the Caribbean this fall for just $479 per person. Book with CruCon Cruise Outlet by March 7 and receive $100 shipboard credit per cabin ($50 per person), plus one of the special booking bonuses listed below. You might expect to see a deal like this on a lesser ship, but certainly not on the Carnival Glory, one of the newest and best ships in the Carnival fleet!
CruCon is also offering upgrades to oceanview and balcony staterooms at drastically reduced rates plus the same $100 per cabin shipboard credit. Sail in a Category 6A oceanview cabin (with a picture window rather than just a porthole) for $599 per person. Sail in a Category 8A balcony cabin (with an unobstructed view) for just $729 per person.

Additional Booking Bonuses:
-- Interior Stateroom: Champagne & strawberries plus 8 FREE drink coupons
-- Oceanview Stateroom: Three nights of wine plus 4 FREE drink coupons
-- Balcony Stateroom: Champagne & Strawberries plus 3 nights of wine plus 4 FREE drink coupons plus 2 photo coupons.

The Carnival Glory sails roundtrip from Port Canaveral (near Orlando). The ship features a reservations-only Supper Club modeled after New York City's finest steakhouses, Spa Carnival and Camp Carnival for kids.

WE were on the Glory last Nov. for $479. That is a price I keep seeing for Carnival and other ships. Went on Costa Magica,7 days, Feb.5 for $299 including port taxes, in a balcony cabin! Costa had $384, 7 days, end of March, but that has gone up now. If you shop around, you can find fantastic prices.

How was Magica compared to Glory?

Big difference between Glory & Majesty (and Costa Magica we were on last month)is size. The Glory is a huge ship, 2900+ passengers. The Majesty has 1500. On the Majsety you kept bumping into the same people. You got to know each other. We got to know the dancers as well. They go to the exits to greet passengers at the end of the show as do all the entertainers. The captain had breakfast at the buffet almost every morning, was sitting outside the gift shop last day at sea so passengers could talk, take pictures with him. They had activities going all the time, usualy on the deck, during the days at sea. But the food was not as good and although they had 3 premade sandwiches, they were no where half as good as the Glory's deli. Our cabin was a nice size as Carnivals usually are. We really LOVE the smaller ships so woulnd't hesitate to go on the Majesty again. However, we like the Legend much better than the Glory!

I think you can do better. $750 in the off season and it's not even a balcony? Seems like a lot to me.
