I have been cruising for over 40 years, RCI ten years ago and previously found their ships just mediocre. The last week of August I took my daughter on a one week to Bermuda from Baltimore on Grandeur of the Seas. I was very pleasantly surprised!
EMBARKATION- The access, parking and entry to the ship was a breeze. Easy, close parking just $15 per day- well worth it! We arrived at noon, parked, were on the ship by 12:30, had lunch and were off that afternoon.
STAFF- The staff on this ship seem very pleased to work there. After discussions with dining room wait staff, our room steward and the activities staff, I found they all love working this ship. The staff make all the difference in the atmosphere and service level. The service level was excellent!
