Review summary

Easy access to the port in Baltimore. (Wish there were more.) Parking was right at the docks, at a reasonable price. The Bermuda destination was lovely. Great beaches! Good service on-board.

The pool (outside) is inadequate for the number of passengers. More time in Bermuda would have been nice.

I've been on Grandeur twice and both times there were engine troubles that slowed the ship down significantly. (Makes you wonder...might be time for an over-haul!

People have driven from Long Island, Mass and VA and more. Parking is close to the port and secure.

Parking available right at pier. $15/day. When we get back from a cruise, we handle our own luggage, and depending on customs, are on I95 in 30 minutes

We're driving to MD from PA. Does the cruise line have parking or is it just various pay lots? And how reasonable lol

We were told that there was going to be a lot of work done on her. She's going to be out of commission for at least three weeks with enough workers on her to require the kitchen staff to remain on board to cook for them.

They will dry dock in Bahamas, I think. Probably not too much cosmetic work, but differently clean up that area on 10 where track band climbing wall seem to fight for same space
