This was the second half of our B2B...with even more unruly minions of the teenage category. Again, I did really well not throwing each and everyone of them overboard! One of the worse things RCCL has done was to introduce a drink package. We figured that you have to drink at least EIGHT drinks a day to make the package worth it. Have you ever been confined to a small ship with what felt like HUNDREDS of drunk 18 year olds???

Since we were on the previous week, I am using much of the same information with changes where necessary. We had sailed the Grandeur several times before she left Baltimore several years ago...we loved her then, and we love her now. The renovations had many good points and only one or two not so good. Let's start with what we thought was good. We really like the open Centrum. It is open, pretty and there is no gaudy artwork hanging from the ceiling. Many functions, for instance the Captain's corner, was held here allowing for easy viewing, easy questioning...seemed more personable. The 70's party was very cramped in the Centrum, but the partying was on all decks! The aerial shows were good (there were only three) but they were not what I expected...and generally very short.

We liked the bright white bathrooms...and we even liked the new bowl sink. The cabinetry was much more spacious than the glass shelves in the previous bathrooms. One of the bad points, the shower curtain issue has not been totally resolved. One side has a ribbing that is tucked into a track leaving only one side to deal with. Two clothes pins at the bottom worked well for us. We also had clothes pins to hang wet suits rather than just draping them over the line. Read more
