Carnival Glory: Sanitation Record & Health Report
ShipTea Verdict
Let's not bury the lede: Carnival Glory posted a 96 on its most recent CDC inspection back on November 17, 2025, and that's the only inspection we've got on file for her. That single data point is her latest score, her all-time average, her 5-year average, and her high and low โ because when you've only got one number, it does all the jobs at once. So no trend to speak of here (score trend: insufficient data), which just means the CDC hasn't circled back around to re-inspect her yet, not that anything's amiss. A 2003-built Conquest-class ship that just came out of a 2026 refurbishment scoring a 96 is a genuinely solid showing โ she's clearly not coasting on her age.
Here's where we have to be straight with you: we don't have outbreak data pulled for this one right now (the CDC's outbreak feed is currently unreachable on our end), so we're not going to sit here and tell you she's got a spotless record when we simply can't verify it either way. That's not a red flag, it's just an honest "we don't know yet" โ check back or do your own dig on the CDC's site if that specific history matters to your booking decision. What we can vouch for is the inspection number itself, and 96 is 96, freshly refurbished ship or not.
Who it's for: cruisers who want a classic mid-size Carnival experience โ 2,984 passengers, 13 decks, none of the mega-ship sprawl โ sailing out of Port Canaveral, with a recent refurb and a clean-looking (if thin) inspection file to back it up. Who should skip it: anyone who needs a deep, multi-year inspection history before they'll set foot on a gangway, or anyone who specifically wants outbreak transparency before booking โ right now, that data just isn't available for us to hand you. Come back once she's built up more of a paper trail and we'll have a fuller picture; for now, the one number on the board is a good one.
