Carnival Glory secret places and features

- An introduction to a few features of the Carnival Glory cruise ship that are less than obvious. There are public spaces on the ship that you might not discover on your own. Carnival doesn't keep these places secret on purpose... it's just that they're so out-of-the-way that a lot of people never find them.
From the very well hidden 8th Jacuzzi... to the "secret" observation decks... the restaurant hiding in plain sight... and the best cruise ship feature during a Caribbean thundershower... I'll introduce you to a few things about the Carnival Glory that you might not figure out yourself.
Many of the things mentioned in this video apply to all Conquest-class ships in the Carnival fleet... not just the Carnival Glory.
Just got back from a cruise on the Glory - there are 6 whirlpools now. The one at the bottom of the slides is gone, and there's a second slide in its place. The one in the fitness center is also gone - they took it out about a year ago, and Carnival still has yet to update its website.
FYI - travelers with me didn't know ahead of time, but swimming pools are salt water. The whirlpools are fresh water. The pool showers around the ship are fresh water showers - nice for getting out of the salt water pools.
The access to deck 6 and 7 was definitely secret - nobody else was up there, and we only visited it once during the week.
The Fish n Chips restaurant on Deck 10 is now a BBQ restaurant. I've heard it was good, but we did not visit that.
In the Ebony Cabaret (where the video references Quest), if you are attending the stand-up comedy shows you want to GET THERE EARLY. More so for the adult show - it's packed and standing room only. I did not see that they did the Quest game during our cruise.
Hope that helps anyone who's about to embark! Have fun :)
Thanks for that update! I appreciate that. I hope people read the comments and see your post so they see what's changed since I made that video years ago.
We are going on a cruise on this ship in a few weeks. Is Guy’s Restaurant still there? We went on this ship years ago and remember that being one of our favorite things.
Did you notice if the laundromat takes sail and sign now instead of quarters? Hubby likes to do the laundry before we pack up for disembarking.
I hope carnival pays you for this video. I have watched over 100 videos and this is definitely the best.
TalkWithDP oh yeah it is so good
Did they do away with this when it was dry docked earlier this year??? Anyone know!
Sorry the area at 1:15 in the workout area!
Chris Rouse wait what? I'm on this ship in 45 days!!!
astrogliding that is what i heard happened when it dry docked. They took it out to make the big slide area is what i was told.
Got back not long ago from the Glory with my new wife. First cruise either of us ever took. Lovely boat. I wish I'd have seen this video before hand. I miss it already. Absolutely loved the Glory. Another great under uses place for relaxing and taking a break from the crowds is the piano bar. Full service drinks and an amazing atmosphere to decompress after a day of activity.
Hello everyone I just got off the glory and some of this info has changed. First the whirlpool in the spa/gym area has been removed, that room is now used for spin cycling. The restaurant fish and chips is no longer located above the lido buffet, it has been replaced by old fashioned bbq, but it is no frequented much so it does seem pretty hidden. Deck three does offer uncrowded and lots of sitting room. The Aft pool is no longer adult only and it usually very crowded. The Ivory club didn't seem secret at all as it was destination spot for our Muster drill, plus its opposite of the upper deck of the Platinum dining room and almost every night music was performed for those going to the dining room but he is right not much else going on in there. I never really checked out the internet cafe, I had no reason to I was on a cruise. I did walk past the laundry room on our deck several times and never used it, I would suggest bringing quarters like he says. We did notice the colors on the ship changing often, we were especially aware do to this awesome video. If you are going aboard the beautiful Carnival Glory enjoy your cruise and explore all the tips this video gave you.
Greg Bourgault thanks so much for the updated!
Worst part of the cruise is having to leave.
Jim Zimmerlin....thank you so much! This is our third cruise with carnival, and we did not know about the hidden hot tub in the gym.....thanks to you we can now enjoy these hidden gems. Especially enjoyed the tip on the Aft cabins. Excellent video and brilliantly shot!
Looks lovely. Love all those secret reveals ❤️
Thank you so much, Jim Zimmerlin!! Without your advice and extraordinary video we would not have know about the "Premium Vista Balcony!" It has been booked and we're soooooo excited!! :)
Love this video. I generally go searching for secluded areas of the ship, when I cruise. These can be great places for introspection, and can provide a great retreat for my wife and I to enjoy the romance of the sea.
Without this, I wouldn't have been able to find the gym whirlpool on my own. Thanks!
Thank you!!! I will be getting on this ship with my husband in January 2018 lol I'm super excited it's going to be our first real vacations, I can't wait!
Kimberly Enriquez How was it?
Thank you soooo much! We sail on the Glory in Oct. and we can't wait. We are excited to find all of these secret places. Especially the hot tub in the gym. They are always so overcrowded that we miss out on them. NOT this time. Thanks again. P.S. We love your voice.
Hi Jim!! I love cruising Carnival, and Glory is one of my favorites! Thanks so much for posting this video! Very helpful ☺
Sailing the Glory in November! Thanks for these tips, Jim!
The Fish and Chips restaurant is now Old Fashioned BBQ! Its very good!
good tips!! super glad I found this. I'm cruising on this ship in 4 days 🤗
We will be going on the Carnival Glory in the Spring and this is one of the most helpful videos I have seen on CZcams. Thanks a lot for making it! :) I will probably be rewatching this a lot before the cruise.
Please be aware that I made that video several years ago and that things have changed on the Carnival Glory since then. For example, I don't think that Jacuzzi inside the gym exists anymore! But much of what you saw on the video will still be true.
aww womp womp! Still very informative, though.
Great video Jim! Can’t wait to explore these little secrets next week!
This is a video I made quite a few years ago... so, I imagine a lot has changed since then.
this was fantastic! i only knew like 2 of those things and i've sailed the Glory twice already!
I remember finding the forward viewing area place like that on the Carnival Triumph I call it the secret spot.
It feels like you shouldn’t be there or something
I cant wait to sail on this beauty later on this year!
I know this video is a few years old now, but for those wondering: the Internet Cafe no longer exists. It's now the "Dreams Studios" for black & white portrait photography. What's interesting is the signs for the cafe are still in place and still lit (they read "Cyberspace').
Also "Carnival Quest" is now held in the Ivory Lounge :).
Thanks for the video, I knew most of your secret places, did not know about the rooms you like to book. I have enjoy the quest games, first time I saw them was on NCL , love the way you speak and filmed your videos :) Thanks again
Thanks for the tips and info Jim, will be using them in August!
Outstanding video and guidance Jim! We are going on Glory in 2019 and wonder how many of these secret places will still be available. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, that will be interesting. It's been a few years since I made that video, and I am certain some things have changed since then.
Me andmy wife will go on december for new years eve, we are exited forthis beauty and terrific experience..
Yes thank you and we will be on this ship for Christmas in the aft vita suite ad for my sister who had back and knee issue the hidden hot tub in the spa is great and also notice about the cover up for the aft pool.Thanks bunches.
In all my experiences, those empty hot tubs in Carnival spas require you to be in a spa suite or pay the enormous daily spa fee. You need a special card key to get in.
On some Carnival ships, yes. That was not the situation on this ship when I shot the video, though.
Thanks Jim! We sail in 5 days! Can't wait to check these out! Quest looks HILARIOUS! :-D
Be aware that this video was created three years ago, and a lot has changed on the ship since then!
Thanks for sharing I went on the Glory and didn't know these things😂. I'm going again on the same ship next year I'll be ready thanks to you👍.
I made that video several years ago... A lot has probably changed since then!
Great video Jim. Sailing Glory in March.
I went on that boat, it was my first cruise!
The front whirlpool was recently removed when the ship was in dry dock. Now its just a wood floor space for working out for spinning and yoga.
Really great breakdown of interesting stuff!
Nice video Jim! Sailing in November for my bff's bday!! Can't wait!!
cheryl canty-rashada how was your trip?
Thank you for posting.. Great video - We have booked an aft wrapped balcony on the Glory March 2020.
Did you make this cruise? Or was it a victim of COVID?
you have the best video, thanks.
Thanks, for sharing! Will be on the Glory in November. Can't wait to try that whirlpool.
When in November are you going? I am going on the 26th.
I will be on the Nov 5th sailing.
We were on the same cruise!

The aft pool is going to be family-friendly now - Carnival changed the policy on it just recently!
I’m gonna be on this in like 2 days I’m so excited
On my way back from the glory.... I wish I watched this video before lmao 🤣
We used this video to plan our trip and enjoyed it! There are a couple of updates as others have noted. The Fish & Chips restaurant has been replaced by a BBQ restaurant as noted earlier but there is an a la carte “Seafood Shack” next to Aft Pool across from Pizza Pirate. The gym in the pool has been replaced by LifeCycle machines: link is here -> czcams.com/video/8E2DZCA7D_M/video.html
Very helpful!

laundry dont take quarters anymore either...we were on at the end of june and I used my sign and sail card to do my laundry
very informative!!
Just be aware that I made that video several years ago and a LOT has changed on the Carnival Glory since then!
Minunat! O sa ne intorcem daca va fi posibil!
Translated from Romanian:
"Wonderful! We'll come back if it's possible!"
I am going on the Glory in November for the first time! Thanks so much for sharing. I am definitely going to look up those rooms. Thanks again
Jovanna Quinones we are going in November too!!!
Jovanna Quinones So are we,late November.Crazy
William Palmer
We leave on the 14th i believe.
William Palmer Jamie Roys actually i switched and am now going on the Splendor of The Seas in November :)
have fun! my glory travels start in march! cant wait!
Thanks Jim going in October
thank you!
You missed the best part-what happens on the other side of the crew only doors. Cramped living conditions but great parties and a 70/30 breakdown between the men and the women. That was a big plus during the crew parties :-)
I definitely need a friend in the crew who can sneak me in to one of those crew parties some time!
Jim Zimmerlin You have to sign up to get invited, which you'd like I'm sure. What are your skills? I'm a casino dealer, but for RCCL.
I think I'd have to sign up to be a videographer. Or perhaps I'd work for the entertainment staff... specializing in calling the bingo games. The bingo callers get to inject a lot of humor in to their "show"... I think I might be good at that!
Thanks!
4:40 Thank you, I'll be sure to avoid "quest". I'd rather spend a day locked in the laundry room.
Too bad I watched this video after my Carnival Glory cruise.
For the hot tub one it's now only seven they took away the kids pool with the water parks addition.
In 2017 it is really different I went on it for a week so maybe you could do an updated version and you'll see how different it is
Question, I know I’m really late but I was on Carnival Glory back in October 2013 and at the 5:00 mark the guy with the microphone in his hand was our cruise entertainer I think his name is Everson (I’m not sure if I spelled it correctly) I was wondering if you remember his name?
Eversen Bevelle. He was the Cruise Director on Carnival Glory.
@@JimZim wow, thank you for the reply, I’ve been spelling his name wrong all these years lol
the best ship I worked on Gave the Best Classes in the gym if you wanna have fun this is the place to be
You're good!!!!
Check out my video from my last cruise on the Glory! One of my favorite Carnival ships!
I just got off this ship
These are on the horizon on all decks
The location of that hot tub is weird lol That would take some finding on your own
And it may not even be there anymore... as I made this video a few years ago.
davva360 I was on the glory October 2015 and used that pool and spa. One thing that has changed is the a la Carte seafood shack has taken over the fish and chips on deck 10.
Unfortunately, it is no longer there. It's now a yoga studio... :(
HEY JIM, is 7440 the cabin available like that or are there more on other decks??
There are other cabins like that on other decks.
I didnt know the gym was on board lol
ok people! the fish and chips area, are off limits for you hehehe
The one nobody finds.... it's because you have to have a spa cabin or pay extra for a key to get to it. Spa pools on most ships are usually an expense most don't want to waste money on.
donna wanna
If you're referring to the Jacuzzi in the gym, it was always available to all passengers at no additional charge.
But... I don't think it exists anymore! I made this video years ago, and the ship has been remodeled since then. I think I read that the Jacuzzi in the gym was removed.
Jim Zimmerlin e
Jim viajare en abrl 21......y hare lo que tu recomiendas.
Necesito el consejo de Alguien que haya viajado en este año en el glory para que me exlique si en belize al tomar la lancha trasbordadora hay que bajar gradas o es una plataforma como la de gran caiman?
Tengo esa preocupacion por que no puedo caminar y me movilizo en una scooter....gracias .
There are almost certainly going to be stairs involved in getting on and off the tenders in Belize during a cruise on the Carnival Glory.
I don't care what they say, Carnival Cruises always have been, and always be the KMart of cruises. there are so many other cruise lines that are so much better and at about the same pricing.
I think you're completely out of touch with what's been happening with Carnival in recent years. I bet it's been a long time since you cruised on Carnival, if you've ever actually cruised with them at all. The Carnival Vista class, with the un-crowded Havana area at the back of the ship, is absolutely incredible for anyone looking for a quiet and relaxed cruise without noise and without kids. It's one of the best ways to cruise that I've found. It's hugely less expensive than any other cruise experience which offers a comparable level of un-crowding and quiet. A tremendous value. I've got two cruises booked on Vista-class ships over the next 18 months. When was the last time you cruised on Carnival?
There is no whirlpool near the fitness center
Yeah, I made this video a LONG time ago!
A lot has changed since then
What are the excursions
Are these secrets on the Conquest too?
Yes
Yeah these work for all conquest class ships as well as destiny class except for the Sunshine
been on it
have you ever sailed on the carnival triumph
I've done 25 cruises with Carnival, but I don't think I ever made it on to the Triumph. I've cruised on many of her sister ships, though. That's a really nice class of ships. She's well equipped, and she's currently sailing out of one of the most fun home ports in the entire world... New Orleans... so you can't go too far wrong booking a cruise on the Triumph!
you should try it it gets a bad rap from its little accident so not that many people on it not that crowded
Captain Suite
The Fish & Chips Restaurant has great fish, but as soon as it gets remodeled into the "Seafood Shack", the fish won't be free anymore, but will also be served at dinner
Is there a charge to use the internet in the Internet cafe?
Yes, that's something that just about all cruise lines charge extra for.
Carnival Dream
number of the cabin please...
antito! Cabin number 7440. You'll find more details and photos at www.jimzim.net/CarnivalGlory2014.html

So, it appears there is no longer an adult pool. Pooh.
EX MY CRUISES SHIP CARNIVAL GLORY HOMEPORT IN MIAMI FLORIDA USA > 2012 FIRST CONTRAK WORKING
WHO IS GOING ON JULY 17 2017 ???????
Can anyone use the jacuzzi in the spa or do your have to buy a spa pass
Totally free for anyone to use. It's part of the fitness center (gym) and there is no charge.
so even kids?
Alhondra Delgado Its an adults only pool
TalkWithDP yeah I realised that after I put the comment.... thanks anyways🤗🤗
Alhondra Delgado ok. I will be going on the Glory in April. Can't wait.
