CARNIVAL GLORY RETURNS TO SERVICE WITH A VARIETY OF EXCITING
FUN SHIP 2.0 FEATURES ADDED DURING TWO-WEEK DRY DOCK
The Carnival Glory returned to service today following an extensive, multi-million dollar renovation that added an array of exciting on-board spaces, from a new burger venue developed by Food Network personality Guy Fieri and a pair of tropics-inspired poolside watering holes to a ?cocktail pharmacy?-themed lounge called the Alchemy Bar.
Carnival Glory?s new dining, bar and entertainment options are part of Fun Ship 2.0, a $500 million product enhancement initiative that is being rolled out across the Carnival fleet.
Following a special three-day cruise from Miami to Nassau departing later this afternoon, Carnival Glory will launch a winter schedule of seven-day Caribbean voyages beginning Nov. 18. ?In June 2013, the ship will reposition to Boston for a series of four- and five-day Canada voyages before heading to New York for four- to seven-day Canada/New England departures through October.
