Grandeur of the Seas Review

Additional details
Port of Baltimore - Port is easily accessible and staff is well organized -- Dropped off luggage, paid by credit card for parking ($15 per day) and parked within 15 minutes.
Embarkation - Although this was my first Royal Caribbean (RCI) cruise, I had cruised with Celebrity and Azamara and received points for RCI Crown and Anchor Society (CAS) to start me at Platinum level. This allowed my adult son and I to go to a special embarkation line which had no waiting, bypassing a somewhat lengthy line for most passengers (pax). All info was completed online and we only had to verify ID and get sea passes. FYI, RCI is one cruise line that does not allow non-alcoholic beverages (soda pop) to be taken onboard, but they do allow wine.
We were told that rooms were not available (12:30), so we went to the Windjammer Cafe for lunch. We discovered that dishes at this buffet venue were very similar every day for lunch.
Cabin Review
We had an inside cabin (Cat. N) on deck 3 which had lots of storage space in the closet, including a rack at waist level for shorter apparel (shirts and folded pants, etc.) and two drawers. There was a small 1/2 loveseat and lots of storage around the desk mirror, included cabinets with mirrors on each side. There was also a full length mirror on the wall behind, allowing back viewing easily by opening the cabinets to an appropriate position. TV was flat screen and angle was full adjustable for viewing anywhere in the cabin. Lots of drawer space below the TV and around the desk area. Bathroom was usual size with removable hand-held shower head with a shampoo dispenser and a large rack for other items, plus a foot shelf for females to shave their legs. Usual curtain, 3 hooks on door and clothesline provided. Shelf and counter space was extremely limited in the bathroom.
