DINING
Carnival Glory has two main dining rooms.
The Platinum Dining Room is located at the
stern of the ship and benefits from windows on three
sides. It is two decks high and holds 1,116
passengers. There are large tables for groups and for
passengers who want to meet other passengers. There
are also tables for smaller families as well as tables
for two.
This dining room is open for breakfast and for lunch
(on sea days) on n open-seating basis.
For dinner, the Platinum follows the traditional
cruise ship approach to dining, i.e., each passenger
is assigned to a table in one of two dinner seatings.
This allows the passengers to build a rapport with
their waiters as well as with any other passengers at
the table.

The Red Sail Restaurant is Glory's self-
service buffet located between the main pool
area and the Azure Lido area. The focal
point of the restaurant is a two deck atrium

restaurant (See review).
There are two smaller eateries on the ship's indoor promenade.

The Golden Dining Room (below) is amidships
and hold 732. It is also two decks high but only has
windows on two sides.
This dining room is only open for dinner. The lower
level of the Golden follows the traditional system as
in the Platinum Dining Room.
The upper level follows a flexible dining system in
which guests can arrive at any time that the
restaurant is open. There are no assigned tables.
In both dining rooms, the waiters sing and entertain.
The Red Sail gives guests a
variety of choices. In addition
to traditional buffet lines (left),
it includes a deli station (below
left); a burrito bar (below); a
Mongolian Wok station (below
right); and a fish and chips
area (actually more of a
seafood venue) (right).
Just outside of the Red Sail in the Azure Lido area are two fast food
venues: The Pizzeria (above left) and the Grille (above right).
