Carnival Glory emerges from 21-day Navantia refresh

Passengers embarked for a 14-day 'Carnival Journeys' trans-Atlantic cruise to the ship’s new home at Port Canaveral. Before departure, Capt. Luca Cherchi held a plaque exchange with Port of Barcelona officials.

During the Navantia docking the 2003-built Carnival Glory was enhanced with a new casino layout that added a nonsmoking area. Décor and furnishings were refreshed across all public areas and the ship gained a Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge, a venue for military veterans and active-duty service members that is being added across the Carnival Cruise Line fleet.

A Dreams Photography Studio was also installed, and upgrades were made to the ship’s spa. The Camp Ocean youth space was redesigned and gained a large video wall for the Space Cruisers program, which includes curriculum developed in partnership with Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. The Warehouse video arcade was refreshed as well.

Short Bahamas cruises from Canaveral

On May 2, Carnival Glory is set to join Carnival Freedom, Carnival Vista and Mardi Gras at Port Canaveral to begin three- and four-day cruises visiting Nassau, Freeport, Princess Cays and Bimini.

Carnival Liberty is repositioning from Port Canaveral to New Orleans and scheduled to arrive there on May 6.
