These are some supplementary comments to the thorough review which another passenger has already been posted.

MAINTENANCE

We have sailed on the Grand several times: before the makeover, immediately following the drydock (the infamous May transatlantic), and now 6 mos. following the drydock. While the problems out of drydock have thankfully been resolved, routine maintenance issues remain. Our balcony had flecks of loose paint on the deck and the furniture appeared dirty. Public area ladies' bathrooms had unuseable sinks and toilets (signs posted, no evidence of repair attempts during the entire trip). I was the last person off an aft elevator before it became stuck for an extended period. Later, my husband and I became stuck in a different aft elevator, but for a short time (it was VERY distressing when no one responded to the elevator phone, and the elevator alarm bell did NOT work!)

Cabin Review

Cabin AC

D703 starboard minisuite - across from aft elevators, so handy to run up to Horizon Court buffet (14), the One5 Lounge(15), down to Vista Lounge (7) and Botticelli dining room (6). Lots of vibration during arriving & leaving ports when the side thrusters are in use. I tend to think portside has better views, but we had marvelous sailaways out of Lisbon & San Juan, so I guess it all evens out!
