We booked this cruise the beginning of June for the July 12th sailing on the Grandeur. We had no idea about the fire when we first started our search. I wanted to cruise without flying, and Baltimore is less than 2 hours from our home. So the Grandeur to Bermuda it was. I was a little worried that the ship wouldn't be ready in time, but we were lucky and and she was back and ready to sail!

We traveled with our daughters, 7 and 8 (turning 9 the week after vacation) THis was our first cruise with RCI, my oldest was only 11 months on our last cruise and this was the first for my youngest. They were just as excited as I was for this vacation. If only I had a camera on them when we pulled off 95 South....their faces/reaction when they first caught a glimpse of the ship was priceless. I had no idea what to expect since we hadn't cruise in 8 years...I was just excited to get away and spend a week in the sun with my family.

The port in Baltimore was so easy to get to and we arrived a bit early, so we had to wait in a line of cars for a bit. Once we were able to move (around 10:30am) we were on the ship in under an hour. We had to give our luggage, park ($15 a day), fill out some health forms, take pics and register. We boarded the ship and went straight to Windjammers for lunch. The rooms weren't ready until 1pm. Unfortunately it was raining so we hung out in the Solarium for a bit. Our luggage was already at our room at 1pm....very easy! The ship was very pretty, the Centrum was beautiful, and it was kept neat and clean. Although she is an older ship, the Grandeur was beautiful all around.

Cabin Review

Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin D2

7526......Small but still plenty of room for my husband and I, plus our two daughters (7 and 8) Plenty of storage in the room and in the bathroom. The shower was small, but expected that to be the case. The balcony was big enough for the four of us to be out there watching the waves. Very quiet and not far from the elevator/stairs. Loved going up 2 flights for the Windjammer and pool, and down 1 or 2 for the Theater (depending on where we sat) No smells that some have complained of on the ship. Great room!
