Grandeur of the Seas Review
By Miriam Romain - aka Host Mir7
I'll start this off by saying that we approached this cruise much differently from the past four we've taken. In the past, we've booked a cruise in July for October or November. We've also have been gone for at least two weeks. Well, because my husband got a new job in January, we were unable to take our usual two-week cruise and July came and went. In August we were talking about how we weren't going on a cruise, when my husband found out he could take one week. I looked at some of the last minute fares on the Internet and couldn't decide if we wanted to throw caution to the wind and book a cruise because of the ship or itinerary. We decided on itinerary and best deal. We found a great deal on a ship we wanted to see and I called a TA I know from the boards and told him what we had found. Well, not only did he come back with a better price on what we had found, but he came back with a couple of options for us, one being a cabin with a balcony that was very affordable! I had been dreading not having a balcony, but that problem was solved quickly. It was made even better when we were upgraded to a mini suite at the back of the ship, my favorite place!
