My husband and I sailed out on April 10th our 33rd wedding anniversary aboard the Grandeur. It was our second time on the ship, the first one being in 2010. We LOVE this ship. It may be small when sitting beside the Explorer docked in the Nassau harbor but you couldn't tell from inside the ship! We had a large outside cabin with a nice large window. The bathroom was a bit small and the shower hard to navigate but you expect that on a cruise. The dining staff, activities director, cabin steward were exceptional in hospitality and service. I can't say a bad thing at all towards the crew, they were phenominal! My only complaint would be the lack of hours spend in each port, especially Key West and their private island, Cococay. I wish we had more time at those ports. I would NOT recommend taking the garden/zoo tour in Nassau, complete waste of money. In fact, unless you are going to Atlantis, don't bother getting off the boat. Nassau is a poor and dirty place. I was also upset that there were smoking sections on the pool deck and on some of the only complete walking decks. As a non-smoker, I found that walking amongst a bunch of smoke or just sitting on the top deck with smoke drifting up, a BIG turn off, in fact we never went into the casino because of all the cigarette smoke which also allows smoking. Lastly, I wish the DJ would have played a better variety of music in the Viking Lounge, the only late, late, night life party place. It was all the rap and crap of today's music that I dislike. Had a great time watching movies on the big screen at the pool deck, met some nice folks and had my every desire taken care of by the crew. Would do this again in a heartbeat since I live just 20 minutes away for the port!

Cabin Review

Large Ocean View Stateroom

Cabin G

Cabin was small but just enough for both my husband and I. The bed was A number one comfy! The shower was small but that was expected. Water pressure in shower was awesome and temperature good at all times. We even had a little loveseat in our room. Big closet too and makeup table with lighting, nice touch.

I live here, don't need to tour it but if you do, go to Camden Yards to catch an Orioles game or the Inner Harbor. Visit the aquarium too and Science Center too! Check out Little Italy for dining.
