We had a blast but weather was not great. I would go further south if I ever cruise again in December.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
We ubered and they load your bags straight from the car so no lugging your stuff into the building.

Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Pool, climbing walls, movies, bingo, and egg drop competition is what we stuck with. Wish some of the movies that were played on pool deck during bad weather were played in the palladium. I was pleasantly surprised at all the activities they had being a smaller ship. Definitely can’t be compared to the larger ships though.
Children's Programs
4 out of 5
There was not as much to do besides swimming for the younger children so my 4 yo actually wanted to go to adventure ocean.

Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
This was our first time with an interior cabin with kids. Pullman beds were nice. I did not find the bed comfortable but my husband did. They are on the firmer side. Slight smell of sewage in the bathroom but you could only smell it if you were in the bathroom.
Weather was terrible but that did not stop us. We had full day water park and it was awesome. Being the only ship that could dock in the weather made for no lines.
We were used to just walking off ship with our luggage whenever but this time we put some of our bags out the night before. We had to wait in the Palladium until our luggage number was called which was kind of annoying. I understand why they do it but looking back we probably just could have walked off
Grandeur will be leaving the RC Fleet March 2021. The Enchantment of the Seas (Grandeur's sister ship) will be replacing her April 2021. Enchantment is a great ship so I'll be cruising out of Baltimore for many years to come.
We have cruised on the Grandeur 4 times. Loved every 🚢 Cruise. The older smaller ship = less crowds and less $. Always sailed out of Baltimore. Sorry to hear they are retiring her soon. We usually cruise in June or July and loved cruising up the coast to Canada 🇨🇦 or going east to the beautiful waters of 🇧🇲 Bermuda.
