Carnival Glory is a Conquest-class cruise ship operated by Carnival Cruise Line. She is the second of five Conquest-class cruise ships. (As of January 2021), she is scheduled to operate out of New Orleans.[5]
Construction
Built by Fincantieri at their Monfalcone shipyard in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, northern Italy, she was floated out on July 19, 2003, and christened by American physicist and astronaut Dr Sally Ride.[4][6]
Facilities
Carnival Glory has two pools, six whirlpools, and a 214-foot (65 m) water slide.[7] The ship also features a 13,300 square foot spa.[8]
Refits
Carnival Glory was first drydocked in November 2012 for refurbishment.[9][10][11]
In February and March 2017, she received a new "WaterWorks" feature, along with renovations of additional areas aboard the ship.[12]
Areas of operation
In November 2009, Carnival Glory was redeployed to Miami.[13] Later in June 2010, Carnival Glory began conducting summer cruises out of New York City , undertaking Canadian-bound cruises. Carnival Glory also has cruised out of Norfolk, Virginia.[14]
In 2014, Carnival Glory operated eastern and western Caribbean cruises departing out of Miami.[15]
In January 2018, Carnival Glory was the first of Carnival's ship which returned to St. Thomas since hurricanes in September 2017.[16]
(As of 2021) Carnival Glory's home port is New Orleans.[17]
Incidents
On March 16, 2007, a 35-year-old male passenger jumped through a window and fell 60 ft (18 m) into the water 30 mi (48 km) east of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He was rescued 8 hours later.[18]
On March 8, 2015, 21-year-old Virginia Tech student, Cameron Smook, fell overboard from a 6th deck balcony. Surveillance video showed Smook climb over the balcony's railing before falling into the water. A 6,500 square nautical miles (22,000 km2; 8,600 sq mi) search was conducted 6 mi (9.7 km) south of Abaco Island, Bahamas. The United States Coast Guard along with other area vessels conducted a search, but Smook's body was not recovered. The cruise had departed Miami on Saturday, March 7, 2015.[19]
On August 19, 2015, around 16:00, or about 45 minutes after leaving Roatán in Honduras, a 65-year-old female passenger, from San Jose, California, fell or jumped overboard from the 9th or 11th deck. Two hours later her body was found 5 mi (8.0 km) from Roatán.[20][21]
On October 14, 2017, at 8:15, while passengers were disembarking in Miami, 8-year-old Zion Smith, from the Bahamas, fell from the 5th floor to the 3rd floor of the Old Glory Atrium. CPR was started immediately and paramedics took her to Ryder Trauma Center where she later died.[22]
On July 1, 2018, Carnival Glory rescued a crew member who went overboard on Norwegian Getaway the day before. A 33-year-old male Filipino was found and rescued 21 miles north of Cuba.[23]
On December 20, 2019, while maneuvering to dock in Cozumel she allided with Carnival Legend, which was already docked. Six passengers on board Carnival Glory sustained minor injuries.[24] The cruise line attributed the incident to "spontaneous wind gusts and strong currents."[25] The restaurant that was located in the affected area of Carnival Glory was closed until major repairs could be done. Despite this, the itineraries for both ships continued as planned.
