Currently, Glory's home ports is Miami. In November 2009, Glory was redeployed to Miami, replacing the Carnival Triumph. The Carnival Glory was redeployed to Miami to make room for one of Carnival's newest ships, the Carnival Dream in Port Canaveral.[9] Later in June 2010, Glory began doing summer cruises out of New York City, replacing the Triumph for Canadian-bound cruises. The Carnival Glory also has cruises out of Norfolk in both October & May.[10]

In 2014, Glory is planned for being based year round out of Miami. As a result, Carnival will not seasonally have the ship sailing in Norfolk, Boston, New York, and other areas of Canada and New England. A possible reason would be due to Carnival Liberty repositioning to Port Canaveral at that time and Carnival Splendor offering more destination choices from New York.
