Carnival Glory Wiki
The boat's Fun Ship 2.0 upgrade was done in 2012. The Carnival ship Glory is of the company's Conquest-class vessels, with sisterships Conquest, Freedom, Liberty, Valor. The vessel was floated out on July 19, 2003. It was christened by Sally Ride (1951-2012, US physicist and astronaut) who in 1983 became the USA's first woman in space.
In November 2012 Glory was drydocked to be "Fun Ship 2.0" refurbished. During the refurb, several new bars and lounges were added, along with a complete renovation of all cabins and public spaces.
Fun fact is that this Carnival ship has two famous namesakes. The 2017-launched "COSCO Glory" (operated by COSCO Line) is among the world's largest container ships (capacity 20,170 TEU-containers). MS Viking Glory (2021) is a China-built cruiseferry owned by VIKING LINE.
In September 2021, the vessel was chartered to FEMA to serve as a hotel ship (in Port NOLA/New Orleans, Louisiana) for front-line/relief workers in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida (CruiseMinus).
Carnival Glory drydock 2021
In 2021 (June-July) Carnival Glory was drydocked at Chantier Naval de Marseille (CNdM Shipyard in Marseille France), mainly for general maintenance works.
Curiously, Glory became Carnival's second liner (after Magic) to change the old hull design (white hull, with a red line running its entire length) with the new trademarked livery (red-white-blue) introduced on Mardi Gras.
