Review summary

This is our second time in Grandeur and can't praise the Captain and his crew enough. We will recommend this ship to anyone looking for a wonderful cruise. We also like that she goes to different ports and goes from Bermuda then northeast durning fall and southern Carribean. The only thing that may effect some is this really isn't geared towards children depending on when you go. Also nice varity of activities.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Baltimore is one of the easiest ports for embarkation. Very fast and everyone is friendly and helpful.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dinning was good breakfast,lunch and dinner. Windjammer buffet had a good variety and usally offered some of the same entrees as dinning room. Chops is always our favorite. You get the best filet mignon.

Onboard Activities

Ship Quality

We like smaller ships and this one is easy to figure out and get around. Everything was clean and in good condition for a old ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Large cabin and balcony. Bed was comfortable and was a large queen. Bathroom was as nice as at home. Always kept clean and beautiful by our wonderful room stewart,Dennis.

Ship tip

Park cafe in solarium is a great place to grab bags of chips for room or movies out side or in theater. They have great sandwiches, soup and salads. Vicking crown lounge is a great place to relax.
