I like cruising out of Baltimore for the convenience of not having to fly. Grandeur is great, but would love to see a new pier on the other side of the bridge so that larger ships could dock.
Grandeur needs some refurbishing as it is very worn, but I love the ship. The food, though very good, has been downgraded, not the selections we used to have. The cabin was fine, but the mattress needed to be replaced, very lumpy. The staff couldn't be better. They've been downsized, but still work very hard to please all passengers. The dining room staff was outstanding.
Loved the islands, od course. The zip line safari on St Kitts is the best! Didn't care for Antigua at all. St. Thomas is always a favorite. Embarkation and debarkation went extremely well. Customs was also a breeze.
With the xception of the lumpy mattress, it was fine.
Didn't enjoy Antigua. Dirty and smelly.
Walked around on our own.
