Not a lot to review, but the pools are nice

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Nothing against the performers, this one is on RCCL. Not enough money spent on lighting, seating, or sound systems when compared to other cruise lines.

I think it's easier to get to Baltimore vice Virginia Beach. Also, you get some great views of Fort McHenry as you sail out. The ship is showing its age. It'll be interesting to see what Royal Caribbean replaces it with. They can't bring in a really bigger ship because of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

Being from Virginia, I understand how you think the Grandeur should leave from Virginia Beach. But Baltimore is a great port. You can be on the ship in 15 minutes! Always a smooth embarkation. Going on the Grandeur for the sixth time next month. She’s getting older, but aren’t we all?😀 You’re absolutely right about the service. It was voted best in the fleet and I can see why.
