This was my second cruise on the Grandeur but may as well have been my first. Nothing seemed familiar at all but that's not a bad thing.
I loved the small size of the ship; the atrium was a pleasant sight/comfortable location where I spent a good amount of time. Enjoyed the Christmas decorations (beautiful tree); activities staff was engaging and offered just the right amount of interaction for my taste. I would gladly book again this ship out of Baltimore in December.
Transportation – Amtrak from Lynchburg, VA to Baltimore BWI Station round trip. Nice, clean car on way up. Homeward bound train was delayed leaving the station and then further delayed en route—approximate two-hour delay overall. Sat in a car that had water dripping from overhead and doors that wouldn't stay closed (cold) so it was not the most comfortable ride home. Although still better than a flight or driving personal vehicle.
I booked inside guarantee and was delighted with the location of my cabin. Not sure why bed placement (together/apart) is an option on the RCI (or actually on any cruise line) profile page if the information is never relayed to the ship. When I cruise solo I prefer the beds apart as it allows for more floor space but once again the beds were together upon arrival. The cabin was as small as I remembered but still had enough space for my luggage in the closet; plenty of clothes hangers; plenty of drawers; and, the settee was quite useful.
