I just read the latest review with the above title, although they said the cruise was geared toward 70-90 years old. That is not true at all. Yes, there were not many families with young children, but hey, it was February and most children are in public school and Mom and Dad usually take cruises with the family when school is out. If you had such a terrible time, I hear that Carnival is the "party" boat. Just remember, someday you will fall into that age category that you so dislike.

This was our 3rd time on this particular ship within the last year. And yes, we were on the fateful "norovirus" cruise last January, although we did not get sick. For a 20-year old ship, Grandeur is a "grand" old lady, but she is starting to show her age. We took the Captain's tour on the last day, which takes you behind the scenes, and I asked when Grandeur is supposed to go into dry dock for refurbishing. I was told May 2017, but until the ship is put into dry dock and assessed, no one knows what kind or how much refurbishing there will be.

Since you leave out of Baltimore, there is more "cruising" than if you were to leave from Florida. But there are loads of activities every day. If you couldn't find something to interest you, then perhaps you shouldn't have cruised at all. Read more
