Here are some Carnival Glory cabins to avoid near noisy areas:

• Deck 7 Cabin 7412
• Deck 8 Cabins 8424 and 8431

• Deck 1 Cabins 1364, 1365, 1369, 1414 and 1423

The Amber Palace Main Lounge is on Deck 5. Cabins directly above the Amber Palace Main Lounge and Ebony Cabaret Aft Lounge hear noise from shows, music, and applause during evening performances. 

Cabins above Bar, Eatery, Shopping Center and Atrium 

Deck 5 of Carnival Glory is a bustling entertainment center. Besides the Java Blue Cafe and Alchemy Bar, the Fun Shops for shopping, and the Cherry on Top candy store.

This deck also features the Atrium, a central gathering place, and often hosts live music and other performances in its public areas. However, the noise from all these activities can be heard in the rooms on deck 6 which can bother people trying to relax or sleep in those rooms.

Rooms Near Public Restrooms

Rooms near public restrooms and under lido deck due to slamming doors, flushing sounds, and people talking loudly. Room numbers near public restrooms on Decks 6, 7 and cabins on deck 8 under lido deck.

Rooms Near the Camel Club Casino

The Camel Club casino on Deck 5 can be noisy during peak hours when it’s bustling with activity. The noise from people and machines can go on late into the night. Cabins on Deck 6 directly above casino may experience noise from gaming machines, music, and crowds. 

Rooms Near the Pool Areas and Pool Bar

Here is the details of cabins to avoid near pool areas:

Rooms Near RedFrog Rum Bar & BlueIguana Tequila Bar   

Carnival Glory Deck 9 Cabins 9285 to 9294 are near the Red Frog Rum Bar and Blue Iguana Tequila Bar, which are popular spots for passengers to enjoy drinks, relax and socialize during cruise vacations. Music plays all day at these bars, creating a lively atmosphere that can be noisy for guests staying in these cabins.  

Rooms Under the Lido Deck   

Cabins on Deck 8 just below the Lido Deck can experience more noise than other rooms. This is due to various activities on the Lido Deck, including pool events and lively deck parties.

Additionally, guests in these rooms might hear early morning sounds from crew members setting up chairs and cleaning the deck above. You also read the detail guide on Which Cabins to Avoid On Carnival Cruise.

Carnival Glory Rooms to Avoid with Connecting Doors

Cabins with connecting doors have a problem with noise insulation. The doors don’t block sounds well, so you can hear your neighbors talking, snoring, or watching TV. This can disturb your sleep or relaxation.

To avoid this, choose a room without a connecting door for better privacy and quiet. Mid-ship areas usually have fewer rooms with connecting doors, giving you a better chance of getting a quieter room.  

Following are the Carnival Glory cabins to avoid if you don’t want connecting doors to other cabins: 

Interior Cabins with Connecting Doors 

Deck 6 Category 4E cabins 6295/6297, 6299/6301 and 6303/6305 on Carnival Glory are interior cabins with connecting doors. These cabins may hear more noise between them compared to balcony cabins because noise insulation between connected cabins may not be very good, so you might hear your neighbors watching TV, snoring, or talking. 

Balcony Cabins with Connecting Doors 

Some balcony cabins on Decks 6 include (6360/6362, 6283/6285 and 6387/6389), Deck 7 include (7207/7212, 7208/7212, 7414/7418, 7419/7423, 7422/7426 and 7427/7431), and Deck 8 are Balcony cabins with connecting doors.

While balcony cabins usually block sound well, the connecting doors might still allow some noise to pass through.

Oceanview Cabins with Connecting Doors 

Oceanview cabins with connecting doors have beautiful views, but noise from neighbors can disrupt the peaceful atmosphere. Sound insulation is not as good with the connected doors. Some cabins with connecting doors on Deck 1 include 6A and 6B category cabins and on Deck 2 included 6B and 6C category cabins.  

Carnival Glory Rooms to Avoid with Obstructed Views

Here are the some of the Carnival Glory cabins to avoid if you want an unobstructed view:  

Interior Cabins with Obstructed Views 

Interior cabins usually don’t have windows that face outside, so they don’t have obstructed views in the traditional sense. But some interior cabins may have limited views or instead they have picture windows.     

Deck 1 Category 1A Interior Upper/Lower cabins (1207, 1208, 1211 and 1212) and Category PT Cabins (1216, 1217, 1220, 1221) have two portholes instead of a window view. 

Deck 2 Category 1A Interior Upper/Lower cabins (2211, 2212, 2216 and 2217) and Category PT Cabins (2220 and 2221) have two portholes instead of a window view.  

Deck 6 Category 4J cabins (6201, 6202, 6203, 6204, 6205 and 6206), Deck 7 Category 4J cabins (7201, 7202, 7203, 7204, 7205 and 7206) and Deck 10 Category 4J cabins (1001, 1002, 1003 and 1004) have picture windows. These cabins have obstructed views due to the small observation deck that all guests have access to. 

Oceanview Cabins with Obstructed Views 

Carnival Glory Deck 2 Category 6B cabins 2446 and 2449 have blocked views because of a cleaning machinery (Gondola) outside the window.

Carnival Glory Interior Cabins to Avoid with Limited Natural Light

Interior Cabins on Lower Decks 

Interior cabins on decks 2 and 3 are on lower levels and don’t have views. These lower decks are far from the upper decks where light enters the ship, making cabins on these levels feel dark and cave-like. 

Interior Cabins in the Ship’s Interior Corridors 

Interior cabins on Decks 6 (6301 to 6307) are located in the ship’s interior corridors. These cabins are far from windows and do not have direct access to natural light. They are situated deep within the ship, with no windows nearby. This means that there is no natural light coming into these cabins from any direction. 

Interior Cabins with Obstructed Views 

Cabins 1207 and 1208 on Deck 1 and cabin 2201, 2202, 2207, 2208, 2211, 2212, 2216, and 2217 on Deck 2 and Deck 6’s 4J category have windows that are blocked by lifeboats. These windows let in light, but the lifeboats block most of it. 

Interior Cabins without Nearby Public Spaces 

Cabins located near public areas like atriums, restaurants, and lounges receive some natural light. Some cabins on deck 6 are separated from these bright public spaces. Being close to indoor public venues means more natural light is shared compared to being hidden away. 

Carnival Glory Rooms to Avoid That Cause Seasickness

Here are some Carnival Glory rooms that may be more prone to causing seasickness, and why: 

Lower Decks Cabins 

Cabins on decks 1 and 2 are closest to the water and may feel more movement. Deck 1 cabins are the lowest and can feel more up and down and side-to-side motion. Deck 2 cabins are also low and may have more rocking compared to higher decks.  

Aft Sections Cabins

The back of the ship can rock up and down a lot. Cabins on Deck 2 at the back (2470 to 2483) feel this motion more because they are at the very back. Back cabins usually move more. 

Forward Section Cabins 

Cabins at the front of the ship move more up and down with the waves. Cabins on Deck 2 from 2201 to 2211 at the front of the ship move more with the waves compared to the middle of the ship. 

Carnival Glory Rooms to Avoid Near Crew Areas

Here are some Carnival Glory rooms to avoid due to their proximity to crew areas: 

Cabins Near Crew Entrances and Exits 

Cabins near crew entrances and exits may have noise from crew foot traffic and voices. So avoid cabins near crew entrances and exists. 

Rooms Near Crew Corridors 

These rooms face the crew-only hallways. You might hear crew talking, working, or moving equipment in these areas.  

Cabins Near Crew Lounges and Mess Areas

Cabins near crew lounges and dining areas may be noisy due to their proximity to these areas. So, avoid cabins near crew lounges and mess areas. 

Rooms Near Service Areas and Utility Rooms

Rooms near service areas and utility rooms are located next to maintenance and storage spaces. Noise and vibrations from activities in these areas may disturb guests. 

Carnival Glory Lower Deck Cabins to Avoid

Avoid lower deck cabins on the Carnival Glory cruise ship. These cabins on Decks 1 and 2 are close to the waterline, so they may have more noise and movement from the ship’s engines. Some cabins on these decks have obstructed views due to ship structures like lifeboats.  

Lower deck cabins are cheaper but may not be suitable for those prone to seasickness or seeking peace and clear views. Consider choosing a cabin on a higher deck near the middle of the ship for a more enjoyable cruise experience.
