A little background on us--I am 42 and have cruised on the Explorer of the Seas twice, the Enchantment of the Seas once and The Ruby Princess of Princess Cruise Lines once. My partner Greg (40) has had very similar cruising experiences (before we met). Neither one of us has been on one of the mega-ships but we're not even sure we'd want to. We are definitely partiers and love to have a good time! We'd rather be at the pool bar at 6:00pm having drinks and grabbing "bar food" from the Windjammer than getting all dressed up and going to a 2 1/2 hour dinner in the main dining room. So hopefully that gives you a pretty good idea of where I'm coming from in this review.
Overall, we had a wonderful time going to Bermuda on The Grandeur. We both agreed we'd likely give the overall cruise (Grandeur and Bermuda) an 8/10. This cruise definitely had an older demographic--lots of scooters and wheelchairs--but that's to be expected due to the ease of travel for those people. The Port of Baltimore couldn't have been any more convenient for us. We live in Annapolis so we left our house at 11:30 and were on board the ship by 12:15!
SHIP-
By far the easiest embarkation I have had. We left our house in Annapolis at 11:30 and were on the ship by 12:45.
The Dockyard was very convenient and well-maintained with plenty of things to do right around the ship.
