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 March 2023, she operates out of Port Canaveral.[5]
Carnival Glory, constructed by Fincantieri at their Monfalcone shipyard in Italy, was floated out in 2003. The ship features two pools, a 214-foot water slide, six whirlpools, and a 13,300 square foot spa. It underwent refurbishment in 2012 and 2017, receiving new features and renovated areas. Carnival Glory has operated from various ports, including Miami, New York City, New Orleans and Norfolk, Virginia, and as of 2023, its home port is Port Canaveral, Florida. The ship has experienced several incidents, including passengers falling overboard or from balconies, and a collision with Carnival Legend in 2019, which resulted in minor injuries to six passengers.
