The second ship in Carnival's Conquest class, Carnival Glory first set sail in 2003 and got a dry dock makeover in 2012, when many upgrades — including popular spots such as Guy's Burger Joint, the BlueIguana Cantina, and the Alchemy Bar — were added. The relatively cozy passenger-to-crew ratio (2.5 to 1) on board this 2,980-guest ship for a familiar and friendly atmosphere. One caveat: This is one colorful ship. Most public spaces are decorated in rich, saturated hues with hints in the names; the restaurants are called Golden and Platinum, and there’s an Emerald Steakhouse and a bright-red Cinn-A-Bar Piano Bar). While Glory has undergone cosmetic touch-ups since its last refit, most of the décor is far from contemporary.
