My boyfriend and I sailed on the Grandeur for five nights from Baltimore to Bermuda and back on October 28, 2007. We were both first-time cruisers. I am 30, he is 37. Just to give you an idea of where we're coming from.
I had read just about every review of the Grandeur on this site, and definitely all the reviews of the Grandeur's sailings to Bermuda specifically. So I was prepared for a smooth embarkation and disembarkation in Baltimore, an older ship, and mediocre-to-poor food.
Well, embarkation was definitely a breeze, although we did have to wait a while in the security line. That seemed reasonable, but the reviews on here made it sound SO smooth that I was a bit surprised. Perhaps we arrived at a busier time than those people did. We got to the terminal right around 1.
