On Thursday, April 18, Carnival Glory resumed operations from Barcelona (Spain) after undergoing a 21-day drydock refurbishment.

Embarking on a 14-day Carnival Journey/Transatlantic voyage (RepositionCruises.com), the vessel is westbound from Europe to its new homeport Port Canaveral/Orlando (Florida USA).

During the extensive dry dock, Carnival Glory underwent various enhancements. These included a redesigned casino layout, refreshed decor and furnishings throughout public spaces, and the addition of the Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge. This lounge, paying homage to military veterans and active-duty service members, is a popular feature expanding across the Carnival fleet.

Furthermore, a Dreams Photography Studio was introduced, and improvements were made to the ship's spa facilities. For younger passengers, the Camp Ocean youth space received a redesign, and enhancements were made to the Space Cruisers program, which includes educational content developed in collaboration with the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Additionally, the Warehouse video arcade underwent refurbishment, alongside updates to several other public areas onboard.

Upon her arrival at Port Canaveral on May 2, Carnival Glory will join Carnival Freedom, Carnival Vista, and Mardi Gras. She will offer itineraries ranging from 3 to 4 days, with stops in The Bahamas, including Nassau, Freeport, Princess Cays, and Bimini.

Meanwhile, Carnival Liberty is undergoing repositioning from Port Canaveral to New Orleans (Port NOLA), scheduled to arrive on May 6.
