We just returned from or 7-night Baltimore to Bermuda cruise on Grandeur OTS. Here's my thoughts on what was a really great cruise.
Who are we? We are an active 60'ish couple who love traveling (I love cruises, DH prefers land trips, but cruises to keep me happy. Smart guy. A trip to Bermuda has been on our 'must do' list for years, and this was the year we decided to do it.
PLANNING: I book our cruises directly with RCI. I'm one of those people who prefers to be in control of my bookings, and am happy with the OBC I get from either our shareholders benefits, or from booking on board. A few extra perks is not enough to entice me to hand over my booking to a TA.
